Mia Zapata killer's sentence reimposed, will serve 37 year sentence

From Pitchfork: In 2004, a jury convicted Jesus Mezquia of killing The Gits lead singer Mia Zapata. A judge sentenced him to 37 years in prison.

In 2005, his sentence was thrown out due to a U.S. Supreme Court decision.

According to the Post-Intelligencer Mezquia returned to court last Thursday and asked the judge who originally sentenced him to reimpose his sentence.

His attorneys gave no reason for Mezquia's request, but he'll finally serve his 37 years.
