In a victory against domestic terror, Alameda County's law enforcement, led by District Attorney Pamela Price, has taken decisive action to make Oakland's streets a bit safer. Deputy District Attorney Benjamin Sinoff, leading the legal charge, secured a guilty verdict from the jury against Reynaldo Garibay, a domestic abuser, as announced by the Office of the District Attorney.
The victim, who ended ties with Garibay earlier this year, endured six frightening incidents in her own home. The jury delivered justice by finding Garibay guilty on all seven counts, including making criminal threats and exhibiting a weapon. The sentence includes three years of court probation and time behind bars at Santa Rita County Jail. Despite the victim's harrowing experience in her own home, the nightmare concluded with Garibay's sentencing last Monday.
District Attorney Pamela Price commended the victim-focused training and teamwork of the Domestic Violence Misdemeanor Prosecution Unit, led by Senior Assistant District Attorney Evanthia Pappas. Price emphasized her office's dedication to being a safeguard for society's most vulnerable and showing no mercy when it comes to bringing justice to defendants.
In addition to serving time, Garibay's sentence mandates completing a 52-week Batterers Intervention Program and adhering to the terms of a 3-year Criminal Protective/Stay-Away Order.
