Fred Santos and his wife, Kathy, second from right, talk with reporters Monday, July 11, 2011, after the first hearing in their lawsuit against the state of California and former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger for reducing the manslaughter sentence for one of the men convicted in the death of their son, in Sacramento, Calif. The Santos' claim the state and Schwarzenegger violated Marsy's Law because he failed to notify them before reducing the 16-year manslaughter sentence of Esteban Nunez, the son of former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez, D-Los Angeles, who pleaded guilty in the 2008 slaying of college student Luis Santos.
