The Oregon Court of
Appeals ruled 2-1 today that
the state’s sentencing of juve-
niles convicted of aggravated
murder violates the U.S.
Constitution.
“… We conclude that the
imposition of life imprison-
ment … on juvenile offenders
without individualized con-
siderations of youth by the
sentencing court, is uncon-
stitutional under the Eighth
Amendment.”
The ruling comes as the
state Legislature considers
more leniency for juvenile
offenders.
In a dramatic vote that
appeared uncertain until the
very end, three state Senate
Republicans joined 17 Dem-
ocrats on Tuesday to approve
a bill to scale back strict man-
datory sentences on juvenile
offenders by a razor-thin mar-
gin of 20-10. The bill, which
Coast Guardsmen plead guilty to
sex crimes tied to 2017 house party
Chinook Observer
SOUTH BEND, Wash.
— The high-profi le pros-
ecution of two Coast
Guardsmen for sex crimes
in 2017 is almost over fol-
lowing guilty pleas last
week by Salvador Zamora,
of Tacoma, to rape in the
third degree and fi rst-de-
gree voyeurism .
Zamora, 25, and Guill-
ermo Gutierrez, 27, who
were stationed at Station
Cape
Disappointment,
were charged following an
investigation of a house
party on Sandridge Road
during which an uncon-
scious woman was raped
and a video of the crime
shared via Snapchat .
Zamora’s crimes are
punishable by up to fi ve
years in prison, a $10,000
fi ne, or both. His sentenc-
ing is scheduled for August.
In September , Gutierrez
pleaded guilty to fi rst-de-
gree voyeurism after a rape
charge was dismissed. Sen-
tencing was deferred until
Zamora’s case was com-
pleted . Gutierrez will likely
get a sentence of four to 12
months, according to court
documents.
Pacifi c County Prosecu-
tor Mark McClain said the
victim agreed with the plea
agreements.
“In any case like this,
the most important thing
we can do is work with
the survivor of this attack,
and ensure we listen to her
wishes as she is the one
who has to live it again
when we go to trial and for
that reason we value their
settlement desire above
others when deciding how
to resolve these cases,” he
said. “Here, the victim, was
supportive of the resolution
and simply wanted to put
this behind her.”
Zamora and Gutier-
rez face long-term conse-
quences for their crimes.
“This resolution ensures
this man (Zamora) is known
as a sex offender, as both
will be required to complete
sex offender treatment, and
will be required to register
as sex offenders once they
leave jail,” McClain said.

Commu-
nity College will hold an
open house from 10 a.m.
to 3 p.m. on May 3 at the
Marine and Environmen-
tal Research and Training

The campus hosts the
college’s welding, auto-
motive, fi refi ghting, his-
toric preservation and other
career-technical programs.
With one of the only
maritime science programs
in the region, it is Oregon’s

• Ensures that people who
commit crimes before they
are 18, but aren’t sentenced
until they turn 19, can be put
into custody of the Oregon
Youth Authority.
Those proposals had
backing from a wide array
of justice offi cials, includ-
ing Attorney General Ellen
Rosenblum, Department of
Corrections Director Colette
Peters and Oregon Youth
Authority Director Joe
O’Leary. Gov. Kate Brown is
also in favor.
Oregon lawmakers have
for years worked to scale
back certain sentencing laws
for adults, but had not put a
focus on juveniles. Part of that
was due to the high hurdle
those changes faced. Because
voters approved mandatory
juvenile sentences for cer-
tain serious crimes in 1994’s
Measure 11, they require the
support of two-thirds of law-
makers in each chamber to be
changed.

now moves to the House,
needed a two-thirds’ vote to
advance.
The legislation, the cul-
mination of nearly a year’s
work, was a collection of fi ve
individual bills submitted ear-
lier this year to adjust juvenile
sentencing laws. Among its
provisions, the bill:
• Scraps voter-approved
provisions that require some
youth who commit serious
crimes to be tried as adults,
instead leaving that decision
to a judge. Crimes for which
juveniles 15 or older must be
tried as adults include mur-
der, sex offenses, kidnapping
and arson.
• Allows juvenile offend-
ers scheduled to be released
before their 27th birthday
to be released when they
turn 25, rather than being
switched from the Oregon
Youth Authority to the adult
Department of Corrections.
• Creates new provisions
for when serious juvenile
offenders are eligible for con-
such as a virtual welding
machine. Representatives
from the college’s criminal
justice program, bookstore
and admissions department
will be on hand to answer
questions. Classic cars and
street rods will be on dis-
play, along with activi-
ties through the state Air
National Guard.
The campus is at 6550
Liberty Lane in Astoria.
