Dominguez convicted of involuntary manslaughter in Davis

A Yolo County jury in Davis found Carlos Reales Dominguez guilty of involuntary manslaughter for two killings and acquitted him of second-degree murder and attempted murder, with the case moving to a sanity phase to determine criminal responsibility given his schizophrenia. The retrial followed a 2025 mistrial and longstanding debate over whether cannabis-induced psychosis negated intent, with prosecutors positioning deliberate actions despite mental illness and the defense arguing insanity at the time of the attacks.
