Dyleski lawyer asks for leniency

Defense asks for leniency for Dyleski:

Citing his unstable childhood, the attorney for convicted murderer Scott Dyleski has asked a judge to consider handing down the lightest possible sentence for killing his neighbor, Pamela Vitale.

Dyleski deserves a sentence of 25 years to life in prison, which would give him the opportunity for parole, deputy public defender Ellen Leonida wrote in her sentencing memo to Superior Court Judge Barbara Zuniga.

“All he is asking for is an opportunity to demonstrate — many, many years from now — that he can change,” Leonida wrote.

He showed no leniency on Pam Vitale so the state of California should not show him any.
