Erika Sandoval (KFSN).

A woman who broke into her ex-husband’s home, grabbed two of his guns, and shot him after he returned home, has been convicted in her second trial for first-degree murder.

Prosecutors in Tulare County, California, however, said that jurors on Thursday did not find that defendant Erika Sandoval, 38, was lying in wait for her former spouse, Exeter police officer Daniel Green, so she is ineligible for the death penalty in the sentencing scheduled for June 5. The jury found a special allegation that she personally and intentionally fired a gun, causing great bodily injury.

She is facing a life sentence in prison.

Green’s body was found in his Goshen home when he failed to report for duty on Feb. 6, 2015, the Vasalia Times Delta reported. He was wrapped in a shower curtain and shot four times, including once in the head.

Surveillance video allegedly captured Sandoval arriving at Green’s home shortly before he did, and leaving about an hour later.
