    Run Peter Chhoun - California Death Row


    Run Peter Chhoun


    Facts of the Crime:

    Along with Samreth Sam Pan, Chhoun was convicted and sentenced to death for the August 9, 1995 murders of Nghiep Thich Le, 48, and his father, Hung Dieu Le, 73, of Sacramento during a home-invasion robbery; and Miguel Vargas Avina, 20, of Pomona. Avina was shot because Chhoun and Pan mistakenly thought he was a rival gang member.

    Chhoun was sentenced to death on January 4, 2000 in San Bernardino County.

    People v Chhoun

    In todays opinions, the California Supreme Court AFFIRMED Chhoun's convictions and sentence of death on direct appeal.
