SANTA ANA (CNS)—A Stanton man with prior strike convictions for assault with a deadly weapon and burglary pleaded guilty Jan. 20 to a hate crime attack in Westminster and was immediately sentenced to a year in jail.
The year-long sentence was a stark contrast from the punishment he initially faced. When prosecutors filed charges they said Robargae could have faced up to 38 years to life in prison if convicted at trial, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office.
