A man first charged more than 41 years ago in the brutal killing of a Carmel woman has been convicted of murder, according to an announcement Wednesday from the office of the Monterey County District Attorney.
A jury convicted Michael Scott Glazebrook, 67, of Seaside, in the 1981 murder of Sonia Carmen Herok-Stone, then 30, of Carmel.
Herok-Stone was found murdered in her home on Oct. 15, 1981, while her 4-year-old daughter was at school, according to the announcement from prosecutors.She had been sexually assaulted and strangled to death with her own pantyhose and had a broken left ring fingernail with blood beneath it, indicating she had scratched her killer before her death.
Glazebrook was charged with Herok-Stone's murder in 1982, but during a 1983 trial, the jury hung 9 to 3 for not guilty. Because the jury did not reach a unanimous decision, double jeopardy rules did not attach, and a retrial was legally possible, prosecutors said.
Glazebrook is scheduled for sentencing on April 26, when he faces a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
