LOS ANGELES, CA — Jurors wrapped up deliberations for the day Wednesday in the trial of a man charged with a crime spree that included the killing of a research scientist shot while camping with his two young daughters in a tent at Malibu Creek State Park nearly five years ago.
The downtown Los Angeles jury -- which is expected to resume its deliberations Friday -- was handed the case Tuesday morning after hearing a rebuttal argument from a prosecutor in the case of Anthony Rauda, 46, who is facing a murder charge stemming from the June 22, 2018, killing of Tristan Beaudette.

6/7/23 Update on Sentencing hearing. Rauda was brought into a downtown Los Angeles courtroom in a restraint chair & wearing a spit-hood over his head. Rauda was convicted May 26 of 2nd degree murder of Tristan Beaudette, 2 counts of attempted murder, including two involving Beaudette's daughters, who were not struck by the gunfire, along with 5 counts of 2nd degree commercial burglary. Jurors acquitted Rauda of & other attempted murder charges involving a series of other early-morning shootings in the same area. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Eleanor J. Hunter initially handed down a sentence of 142 years to life for Rauda. But after subsequently meeting with attorneys, she reconvened the hearing & said she had made a miscalculation & revised the sentence to 119 years to life.
