Description
In a shocking courtroom verdict, Robert Hernandez, a convicted inmate at Kern Valley State Prison, has been found guilty of second-degree murder for the brutal killing of his cellmate Jose Aviles in September 2021. The jury rejected Hernandez’s self-defense claim, citing damning evidence—including matching shoe prints and his attempt to conceal the body. With a prior 2018 attempted murder conviction, Hernandez now faces a potential 35-year-to-life sentence, with sentencing scheduled for August 14, 2026.
