In court on Tuesday, Nathan Knowles agreed to plead no contest to a lesser charge of manslaughter.
SAN ANTONIONathan Knowles was previously charged with the 2017 murder of Michael Berlanga.
An argument between the men escalated in the 1600 block of North Zarzamora and ended with an unarmed Berlanga being fatally shot.In Jan. 2020, a retrial began but also ended in a mistrial due to an issue with evidence.His attorney asked the judge to consider a four-year sentence, but 437th District Court Joel Perez gave him a 10-year prison sentence.
Berlanga’s mother, wife and son took the witness stand during the hearing to talk about how life has been since his murder.“We’re going to be affected about this for the rest of our lives,” Merna Berlanga said. “We were supposed to grow old together.”“No matter what sentence is given it’s not going to be what we are looking for,” Michael Berlanga Jr. said.“This was a difficult case as evidenced by two prior mistrials.
