10 People Accused of David Ortiz's Attempted Murder Found Guilty

A Dominican Republic court convicted 10 of the 13 people who were accused of attempting to murder David Ortiz in what investigators determined was a case of mistaken identity.

According to Nicole Acevedo of NBC News, the sentences ranged from five to 30 years and stemmed from when Ortiz was shot in the back at a bar in his home country in 2019.

All 10 men also must pay 50 million pesos as part of the punishments.

The other three people were acquitted because of insufficient evidence.

The longest sentence was 30 years, which was the punishment given to Eddy Vladimir Féliz García and Rolfi Ferreras Cruz.
