Frank Sato Felix, 33, was sentenced in November 2024 for the murders of special circumstances of Jennifer Yost, Christopher Yost and Arthur “Billy” Boucher.
The three victims were shot dead with a shotgun while they slept in the morning of September 24, 2016, at the Fullerton house of Yosts.
The prosecutors in the trial said before the murders, Felix had made “with the couple’s teenage daughter, who was told to Felix to stay away.
Felix, who was chained and wore a blue robe issued by jail, green pants and orange shoes, described himself as a “beast” at Friday’s audience while drowning with tears while reading a statement of apology of a letter before Kudtced Byreceded Byerced Byer-Lentlentlentlentle I would give up.
“For families and victims, I exchanged places in a minute with which they were killed,” he said.
Amy Rutherford, Christopher Yost’s sister, asked in an impact statement of the victim that Felix received the maximum prayer. “No prayer can erase that night’s horrors (when the murders occurred),” he said, adding that his continuous complaint has left her feeling fragile and hollow.
The murders also have the tasks that have a cost in the two youngest children of the Yosts, who discovered that their parents die dead, Rutherford said. “All the milestones they reach will be dyed of loss,” he added.
David Paulson, Felix’s lawyer, described the murders as “brutal” and “meaningless.”
He told the judge: “There are no words that can be sacrificed to relieve the pain of victims’ families. He (Felix) will grow after bars and will never walk again. His expressions of Goyond remorse what he has communicated to me.”
Felix’s parents attended the hearing but did not go to the court. “They are not here to defend what you can’t defend,” Paulson said. “They are here because he is Athir Child.”
Felix, who was 25 years old at the time of the murders, has admitted to providing the armed man Joshua Acosta, from Gun-21, with a shotgun and an ammunition and waiting outside Fullerton’s house with Yost Acile’s daughter and the Bouar-Yar-Yar-Yar-Yar-Yar year that spent the night in the residence.
Boucher was killed while he slipped on a couch, Jennifer Yost while she slides in her bed and Christopher Yost after he woke up and tried to escape the house.
Felix, the Yosts and his teenage daughter were part of the hairy community, composed of people who play and sometimes disguise themselves as animal characters and face their characters while congregating online and conventions. Acosta, at that time an army mechanics, was a “Brony”, a man who is a fan of the series “My Little Pony”.
Deputy District Prosecutor Seton said Felix orchestrated the murders and was obsessed with the 17 -year -old daughter of which the Yosts had ordered him to stay away. In a moment shortly before the murders, Felix wrote to the teenager: “You are the only one and something that makes me happy.”
The daughter, who testified to convert Acosta’s trial but did not take the position in Felix’s trial, said that her stepfather, Christopher Yost, sexually abused her and her mother, Jennifer Yost, abused her verbally and physically. After their judgments, Felix and Acosta told the police that they tried to “save” their parents’ daughter.
Menninger said he did not have his leg for the daughter’s falsehood about being abused by her parents, the murders would not have happened.
“He (Felix) thought he was doing something brave, all of which was a lie,” he said.
It is unknown if the accusations of abuse are true, the authorities have said. Nor is it clear if the girl knew about the plot to kill her parents.
She claimed that Felix chantajo to have sex with him and admitted to having left Acosta in the house just before the murders.
Felix was only intended to help his mother and her stepfather, Paulson, said his lawyer. It was Acosta who wanted the weapon and ammunition for protection in case Jennifer Yost or Christopher Yost tried to stop him, he added.
Days before the murders, Felix wrote in a Facebook message to a friend: “I could be helping someone with murder,” he said he was only talking about an animal when the friend told him not to do so.
The two younger children of the Yosts were asleep and did not damage the duration of the shootings, but they woke up to find their dead parents. The officers quickly realized that the eldest daughter was already missing through her telephone records identified Acosta as a suspect.
Fort Irwin authorities, where Acosta was parked, arrested and registered Acosta and found three shotgun shells in one of their pockets. A shell, a prosecutor called the duration of his trial, for each victim.
In a police interview shortly after his trial, Felix admitted to having bought ammunition, ear protection and a bolt cutter to cut a security lock of his father’s shotgun, which gave Acosta.
Felix described being afraid of Acosta, and said he only heard the final shot. Hello, he acknowledged that the daughter had told her earlier that night that Boucher was staying at home, explaining to the police: “So I already knew there was going to be a third body.”
Acosta told the Police that the Yost family was a “festive wound” that had “caulized” and described Boucher as “collateral damage. He was sentenced in 2018 to life imprisonment without the possibility of probation.
