Murder and Los Angeles

Reasons for why the incident started vary, with some sources saying tensions between Holland and both Greene brothers had been simmering after an assault incident last month. Other sources believe last weeks events may have been a drug deal gone awry. Rory Holland has a history of violent criminal offenses: in his home state of Kansas, Holland was convicted of both attempted murder and assault before moving to Portland, Oregon where he was eventually convicted of assault. He ran for mayor of Biddeford last year and lost, collecting just 300 votes. Residents of Hollands South Street neighborhood say he has been terrorizing the neighborhood for years. Maine does not support the death penalty in murder cases, however, life in prison is a possibility for Holland.

In Los Angeles, murder (often referred to as homicide by Los Angeles law enforcement) is divided into several categories, each with its own penalty. First-degree murder in Los Angeles is killing that is willful, deliberate and premeditated, generally garnering a sentence of either death, or 25 years to life in a state prison. Second degree murder is also the willful intent to kill or seriously injure someone, but not in a premeditated manner with a typical sentence of 15 years to life in prison for a conviction.
