A Madera County jury has convicted a man of first-degree murder in a case involving a kidnapping, and he has now been sentenced to spend the rest of his life in prison, authorities said.
According to the Madera County District Attorney’s Office, a jury found Vicente Jasso guilty of first-degree murder and determined that the killing occurred during the commission of a kidnapping, a special circumstance under California law.
