One of the three men accused of killing a tourist in Newport Beach was on probation for an armed robbery in Santa Monica.
The revelation comes as the three suspects from the Newport Beach attempted robber-gone-wrong incident appeared in court on Wednesday, July 10. The getaway driver, Leroy Ernest McCrary, who is also accused of killing a tourist from New Zealand, was on probation after a plea deal in a 2022 Santa Monica incident.
As a result, the management team at the Airport Court authorized a plea offer that allowed the judge to place Mr. McCrary on probation with a suspended state prison sentence and a second-strike conviction. The trial deputy consulted the supervisor before extending this offer and the offer was approved by that judge.The suspect’s alleged conduct in Orange County is reprehensible and we stand ready to support the prosecution if needed.DNA testing was ordered, and preliminary results were received.
