Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 02:38:57 GMT

A 20-year-old who spent nearly his entire teen years in juvenile custody after killing his allegedly abusive mother was sentenced Tuesday to a year in lockup and two years of supervised release, after a jury last week found him guilty of crafting and possessing a shank while behind bars.Over the objection of prosecutors who were seeking a maximum four years in custody sentence, Orange County Superior Court Judge Michael J. Cassidy opted for a split three-year sentence for Ike Souzer that includes a year in custody and two years of mandatory supervision.The judge noted that Souzer has been in custody since his arrest at the age of 13, and indicated that a priority was providing Souzer services to prepare him to reintegrate into a society he has never experienced as an adult. Souzer was given credit for 216 days in custody while awaiting trial, further cutting down on the remaining time he will spend in lockup.Souzer, while still a juvenile, was convicted of voluntary manslaughter for...

But Pizarro, who last lived as a squatter in an abandoned house, was relieved to be there.“Tiny home” describes a specific type of housing more permanent than a tent or disaster shelter, but less than a single family home, townhouse, apartment, or something else thought of as permanent housing. The structures — smaller than 400 square feet, often lacking either a kitchen or private bathroom — have become increasingly common in California’s response to homelessness over the past five years, though opinions are split on how much to rely on them in years to come.Branford Village Tiny Homes in Sun Valley opened on Thursday, February 9, 2023.
