1987 - Incorporation: Santa Clarita officially becomes a city [story]
first City Council


logo-lacodistrictattorneyA man and a woman have been sentenced for their part in a series of muggings in Newhall in 2013, according to the L.A. County District Attorney’s office.

Hector Cordova, 28, and Lorena Sanchez, 34, were sentenced Thursday to 19 years and 7 years in prison, respectively, said Ricardo Santiago, a spokesman with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office. They both pleaded no contest to six counts of second degree robbery on June 16.

The defendants in the case are a married couple who would drive on their car and then stop people walking down the street and take their property by force.

In January 2014 they set up to rob a man during a drug deal, a prosecutor said. When the man showed up, Cordova pulled out a knife and the victim attempted to escape. Cordova caught up to him and stabbed him. The victim survived the attack.

  1. good, two less threats on the streets

  2. Scott says:

    Why does the woman get a lesser sentence? Unless there is something left out in the article (this isn’t the signal, so I doubt that) this looks like blatant sexism. Where are the equal consequences?

    • SCVNews.com says:

      Not our story, so we don’t know exactly, but from the story, they certainly aren’t equal crimes. At least our criminal justice system doesn’t see them as equal crimes. The guy did the stabbing.

  3. Sandra esa era tu prima?

  4. Are they illegals. Americans need to know that. Believe me if a republican says anything about illegals the media sure lets the people know he’s a republican! Well? Illegal?

  5. Shirley Vercelli, in person you act like a totally different person, I am seriously surprised how you freely post up hateful comments targeting Mexicans. In person you claim to be a loyal loving Christian who judges nobody. You are what’s wrong with the world and our community Santa Clarita doesn’t need people like you here spreading hate.

  6. Lets guess. She got 7, he got 19.

    I like how much the punishment diminished when she was sentenced, even though she is just as guilty as he is.

  7. When they refuse to follow a judgment made in a civilized court room. Instead refuse to obey court decision or refuse to comply with court ruling while also refusing to make corrections to their internal records when that court decision was not entered properly into their personnel files since it did not agree with their own personal opinion so court judgment was null and void in their opinion since DSUSD has their own personal court system that does not obey rulings or refuse to comply with decisions made in a California State Court by a highly qualified Judge that oversees such matters.

    Thankfully when exposed to normal people that were not sadistic or not taking every opportunity to make life miserable with their abusive behavior, then was not exposed to this type of treatment ever again.
