Suspect In Sikh Cab Driver Attack May Withdraw Guilty Plea
WOODLAND (CBS13) - A Natomas man, who previously admitted to committing a hate crime as part of a plea deal, intends to withdraw his plea and wants a new lawyer.
Pedro Ramirez was expected to receive a 13-year sentence today for an unprovoked attack on a Sikh cab driver last November.
Instead, the 32-year-old's case was continued two weeks after he told the Yolo county judge he wants new counsel.
A second suspect in the crime, Johnny Morales, Jr., was sentenced to 300 days behind bars and three years probation.
