i rember readin the sister of the person the medina killed apprently want not justified how thing went last time so i feel like she the one that cause this trouble ruckuss again and i mean i bet see loock up news site and learend about this to just brin this up round this time.

It's just an unfortunate coincidence. The LAPD doesn't care about the release schedule of a suspect's 15-year-old tv series and they definitely haven't been communicating with Saban or Shout Factory about PR (public relations, not Power Rangers) concerns. The timing is weird, yes, but coincidences happen.

At the end of the day, this will go to trial. If the jury decides this was legitimately self defense then he'll be acquitted; if they feel it wasn't then he'll go to jail. Either way, we'll probably get a much better sense of what happened as the trial unfolds (assuming it gets good press coverage).

Unless there's an entirely separate case that I'm forgetting about, the guy in the one you're thinking of was an unnamed extra and the media just blew it out of proportion when they found out he'd been in Power Rangers.

Was there another case? I'm certain there was something tragic that was connected to PR (however erroneously) back in its heyday? Might have even been mentioned by the late Walter Cronkite on 60 Minutes during a P.R.-focused segment!

I believe ZeoRangerV explained that in the post above you.

Except I didn't know he was just let go. I don't pay attention to the finer details because I just don't care. I saw articles say, "He was arrested," followed by month's later, "released." I just assumed they found him not guilty considering it was self defense.

Medina has plead guilty to voluntary manslaughter and will be spending up to six years in prison.

Huh, I had assumed sentencing and such had already been done by now.

That's the glory of the US penal/court system. You can go through the court process and it'll take weeks or months before you're actually sentenced.

I wonder if they will count any time he spent in jail (if any was) towards his sentence?

Usually they count that time. So however much time he spent behind bars will put him that much closer to home.

I might get hate for this but . . . .

Go Go Power Ranger! Straight To Jail! You Mighty Murdering Power Ranger!

And people got angry at me when I made a joke.

This situation is really messed up. Medina tried to defend himself but he ends up pleading for manslaughter and will end up spending a few years in jail.

At one point there was a self-defense defense in court. But it's been used so much that it's pretty much been thrown out. A plea was the smart thing for him to do. Especially since the evidence already pointed to him being guilty because it was his stuff.
