As police arrested an 18-year-old suspect in the home invasion of a elderly Torrance resident, who was repeatedly punched in the face during the crime, said that he came to California because of Proposition 57, a law that allows for early release from prison.
It was late Monday night when the homeowner said she heard strange noises and woke up to find two men in her bathroom. “I guess he punched me in the face; he did something terrible,” the bruised and beaten woman explained.
Police caught an 18-year-old suspect immediately. The other suspect, a 17-year-old, got away but police found him hiding in Turner’s garage rafters an hour and a half later.
