After further investigation of the matter, the L.A. district attorney charged him with one count of murder. Sutter's family believes that Medina was charged because evidence didn't back up his self defense story.
Medina's attorney states that his client is still innocent and waiting a year to charge the case affects the murder case as crime scenes can get corrupted, and memories become faded. Medina currently faces 26 years to life in prison if convicted.
