(Corona Press-Enterprise) Enrique Marquez Jr. was sentenced Friday, Oct. 23, to 20 years behind bars for supplying the weapons used in the 2015 terrorist shooting in San Bernardino that left 14 people dead and 22 wounded.
U.S. District Court Judge Jesus G. Bernal said he couldn’t hold Marquez legally responsible for the 14 slayings. Authorities have said that Marquez did not know about the plot in advance.
The Riverside resident had been convicted of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and making a false statement on federal firearms-purchase forms: Marquez said the firearms he was buying in 2011 and 2012 were for his use.
Instead, he sold them to neighbor Syed Rizwan Farook as part of an aborted plan to wage attacks on motorists on the 91 Freeway and at Riverside City College, prosecutors said.
