Local low-life convicted for domestic violence, victim accused of jury tampering

From Yolo County, District Attorney:

On August 21, after a three day trial, a Yolo County jury convicted Miguel Dagoberto Lopez, of Woodland, of felony domestic violence for the February 2009 beating of the mother of his child, Angela Gonzales, despite the victim’s efforts to lie for Mr. Lopez and even tamper with the jury using MySpace.

According to Ms. Gonzales’s initial report to the police, Mr. Lopez became angry when the victim did not have money for cigarettes and so he struck her in the face repeatedly while she held the couple’s 16 month-old child, then held her by her hair and battered her head against the floor of their apartment approximately eight times.
