Jesus Cecena was a teenager when he was convicted of killing Officer Archie Buggs during a traffic stop. This is the fifth time since 2014 the parole board voted to let him out, but each time the governor has overturned that decision
For the fifth time in the last six years, a state Parole Board has approved release of Jesus Cecena, who was convicted of killing San Diego Police Officer Archie Buggs in 1978.
But Cecena, who was 17 years old at the time of the crime, is not assured release. Under state law all parole grants by the board given to any inmate serving a life sentence are automatically reviewed by the governor, who can overrule the grant. Newsom now has 150 days to review the case and either allow the parole grant to stand or, once again, overturn it.
A key issue in all Cecena’s parole hearings has been whether he essentially executed Buggs or, as Cecena has said, he fired blindly and in a panic after the traffic stop. Prosecutors have said Buggs suffered one close-range wound to his head and contend it is evidence of a deliberate shot delivered as Cecena stood over the prone officer near his police car.After being denied parole 14 times Cecena earned his first grant for release in 2014.
