FULLERTON (CNS) – A 45-year-old Garden Grove man with previous felony convictions pleaded guilty Friday and was immediately sentenced to four years in prison for stabbing a man in Anaheim.
Gilbert David Marquez was charged in May with attempted murder with sentencing enhancements for the personal use of a deadly weapon and inflicting great bodily injury on the victim.
Over the objections of prosecutors, Marquez accepted a plea deal from Orange County Superior Court Judge Chris Duff and pleaded guilty to assault with a deadly weapon. He was given credit for 478 days behind bars.
Marquez stabbed the man at a business in the 400 block of South Euclid Street, between Broadway and Orange Avenue, on May 1, police said. Police responded to a hospital at about 6 a.m. that day regarding the victim, authorities said.
Marquez pleaded guilty in July 2002 to carjacking and street terrorism, both felonies. He was sentenced to nine years and eight months in prison, according to court records.
