From Times Staff Reports
A 30-year-old man who evaded police for six years was sentenced Tuesday to 21 years in state prison for beating a Marine into a coma.
A San Fernando jury convicted Luie Alejandro Quezada in July of multiple assault and weapons charges.
Deputy Dist. Atty. Lou Holtz Jr. said Quezada and his friends crashed a party in Canoga Park in September 1996 and began fighting with Joffrey Ramos and four of his fellow Marines.
Ramos was in a coma for three weeks after the attack, which left him brain-damaged and partially paralyzed, Holtz said.
