In a recent social media announcement, Stanislaus County District Attorney Jeff Laugero confirmed that 50-year-old Modesto resident Albert Edward Sandner Jr. has been denied parole by the State Board of Parole Hearings at Pelican Bay State Prison. Deputy District Attorney Holly MacKinnon represented the People at the hearing. Sandner, convicted by jury of first-degree premeditated murder in connection with a robbery, is serving a 25-to-life sentence for his role in a fatal incident on June 15, 2003. On that date, a 39-year-old individual was lured to Turlock under false pretenses, then robbed, stabbed over 14 times, and murdered by Sandner and accomplices, followed by an attempted burglary of the victim’s home.
