“I will note that there’s no sentence this court could impose that there be adequate restoration to Ms. Sergie’s surviving family or her extended support network,' the judge said. 'There’s nothing the court could do to restore those folks.'
The defense table, at left, and the prosecutors, right, listen to Superior Court Judge Thomas Temple describe sentencing for Steven Downs.
In 2018, DNA science provided a breakthrough. A sample on the victim was matched to Downs, who was living in Bartlett Hall that semester, one floor up from where the victim was found. Gruenstein asked the judge to consider factors to influence a longer sentence: the use of multiple weapons in the crime, both a knife and a gun, as well as using a murder to prevent the reporting of a sexual assault.
“I’ll be honest, Judge. The way we’ve approached this is really more on a practical plane. Steve is 48 years old now. He’s over 400 pounds. He’s got very high blood pressure. I think that his life expectancy is not gonna be, you know, 103 years old here. Anything in excess of a 20-year sentence, that’s gonna be bringing him to near the end of his life under the best of circumstances,” Howaniec said.
The victim’s brother, Alexi Sergie, was on the phone from Western Alaska before Monday’s hearing began, but the call was dropped before he could testify about the effects his sister’s death had on his family. He did not rejoin the hearing, even after a recess. Friends of the victim were ready to testify, but Judge Temple said it was not appropriate for this hearing.

San Diego County to Pay $1.35M Over 2018 In-Custody DeathOfficials say San Diego County and other defendants have agreed to pay $1.35 million to settle a lawsuit filed by the mother of a Mexican citizen who died after sheriff’s deputies arrested him in 2018. The lawsuit filed by Dolores Rosales alleged deputies used excessive force when they took her son, Marco Antonio Nápoles-Rosales, into custody in 2018. The court filing claimed the deputies used a stun gun, their body weight and a wrap-around restraint device to subdue Nápoles-Rosales, who was suspected of trespassing at a gas station. Carlos González Gutiérrez, Mexican consul general in San Diego, says Nápoles-Rosales’ mother is satisfied with the settlement. San Diego County officials didn’t immediately comment.
