How did he avoid the death penalty?[edit]

Seems like this should be addressed. Did he have access to a great defense team? Was he hansome and rich? How on earth could this NOT be a "slam-dunk" death penalty case? Also seems like it would be good to know what the victim family members looked like and where the money ended up. BrianAlex (talk) 17:12, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good point! I added content concerning the fact that the jury deadlocked during the sentencing phase, which is why they were given life without parole. In California capital cases, the jury must agree on the death penalty or it cannot be imposed. Matuko (talk) 20:17, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Clemency[edit]

A TV doc aired in 2022 that asserts Dana Ewell has applied for clemency. I deleted it and rewrote it, because I couldn't find any source other than the doc, which is a news/entertainment hybrid. Clemency petitions are not public record in California, so perhaps if it is adjudicated that will be reported and we can add details then in the main body of the article.
