From Andy Furillo:
Rashard Delrico Mack was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole, plus 25 more years, for his shotgun murder of Jesse Reiter during a robbery two years ago in Sacramento's Valley Hi neighborhood.
"Your senseless act of murder shattered all of us and left a gaping hole in our lives forever," Reiter's mother, Mary Carol Reiter, said during the Sacramento Superior Court sentencing in front of Judge Lloyd G. Connelly.
A second defendant in the case is awaiting a retrial. A separate jury in April could not reach a verdict in the case against Mack's co-defendant, Ulysses Peter Walker, 21, and Judge Connelly declared a mistrial. Jurors had voted 11-1 to convict Walker. His retrial is set for Aug. 21.
Reiter, 36, was shot and killed around 5 a.m. on March 24, 2007. Reiter and a friend had started drinking in bars in Woodland, then went to a Richards Boulevard strip club in Sacramento and then ventured into the South Sacramento area in pursuit of strippers.
According to testimony at trial, Reiter met Walker outside the club and then followed him to Valley Hi into what prosecutors described as a robbery setup.
