California - One of two remaining defendants in the 2009 Gustine bar slaying involving members of the Mongols outlaw biker gang has pleaded no contest to being an accessory in the killing.
Albert Aleman was set to stand trial Tuesday with co-defendant Ruben Silva Jr. on murder charges in the killing of bar patron Bill James. Before attorneys launched into opening statements, the 38-year-old Montebello resident decided to accept a deal with the prosecution, pleading no contest to felony accessory after the fact and misdemeanor participation in a criminal street gang.
Next month Aleman will be sentenced by Judge Ronald Hansen to 3½ years in prison. With credit for time served, he could be released in eight to nine months.
Deputy District Attorney David Elgin, prosecutor in the case, said one factor in the plea deal was that although Aleman was believed to be at the scene, he didn't commit the actual stabbing. Aleman and Silva are both full members of the Mongols gang, according to the prosecution.
