Marines Could Face Death Penalty In SoCal Shooting

LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) ― Three U.S. Marines could face the death penalty after a judge's ruling in the shooting death of a man in Long Beach.

A Superior Court judge decided that corporal Ramon Hernandez and private first class Glenn Landers and private first class Anthony Vigeant face trial for first-degree murder during an attempted armed robbery.

Long Beach Police Detective Patrick O'Dowd says Hernandez confessed he shot David Pettigrew. Landers and Vigeant claimed the 22-year-old victim owed them cocaine and cash for a laptop he had promised to buy.
