Family members testified about the loss of Michael Berlanga, who was shot in the head by Nathan Knowles in 2017.
A year later, Knowles was retried. As prosecutors were presenting state’s evidence, it was determined that audio recordings between officers at the scene and Eagle, SAPD’s search helicopter, had not been properly stored and. The defense also said the audio had not been a part of the discovery process. Another mistrial was declared.
Five years later, Knowles was back in the 437th District Court, this time for sentencing on a manslaughter charge as part of an agreement reached between his attorney, Anthony Cantrell, and prosecutor Neil Cordero, in a no-contest plea that would cap his sentence at 10 years. District Judge Joel Perez found him guilty and sentenced him to the maximum time allowed under the plea agreement. He gave him credit for the four years he has served in the Bexar County jail. It is unclear when he would become eligible for parole.But relatives who testified and gave victim impact statements said no amount of punishment could satisfy the family, who took up almost three rows in the courtroom.Berlanga’s widow, Myrna Berlanga, said her two children, son Michael Berlanga Jr.
For her, she said she lost her “soulmate” and partner of 20 years, whom she called “the best husband, and the heart and soul of the family.” “We were supposed to grow old together,” Myrna Berlanga cried. “It breaks my heart for my children, he’s not here to see their accomplishments.”
