One month after they returned their guilt-phase verdicts, the jury rejected the death penalty, imposing instead a sentence of life without the possibility of parole.

In pronouncing the jury’s sentence, Judge Munoz stated, “I do not believe he should ever be released from prison. This was a vicious attack in the early morning hours. If not for the grace of God, there would have been six victims, not four.”

One week later, on September 27, Horace Burns was admitted into the California Department of Corrections.

Two years after his admission to prison, on December 16, 1987, the Court of Appeals of California, Second Appellate District, affirmed Burns’s conviction, denying each of his grounds for appeal. These included challenging the testimony of Ida Moore and Delisa Brown, the testimony of the jailhouse snitch, David Mangola, and the admission of Burns’s jailhouse kite.

Burns would spend the rest of his life in prison. He was twenty years old at the time of his sentencing.
