VISTA – A Superior Court judge sentenced Adrian Camacho to death on Tuesday for killing a rookie Oceanside police officer during a traffic stop in 2003.
Adrian Camacho is seen here in court on Nov. 30, 2005, when a jury voted to recommend the death penalty. That is the sentence a Superior Court judge handed down
Camacho, 30, was stopped by Officer Tony Zeppetella in the parking lot of a Oceanside credit union. Prosecutors argued that Camacho shot and killed Zeppetella because he feared being sent back to prison if the officer found drugs and a stolen gun he had in the car.
Zeppetella was 27.

Outsource the job to Texas. Sentences get carried out here with regularity.

I was thinking the same thing.
Execution Date?
Hmmm, probably in 15-20 years.

Well we have executed 2 of them in the past month or so. If we execute one a month it would take a while to clear out death row, but it can be done.
