A jury has found a Montclair man guilty of lesser charges after a meeting with his estranged wife last year erupted into violence and he ran down the woman with a GMC Yukon outside a Chino auto parts store.
Jurors in the trial for Carlos Briseno returned verdicts late Friday in Chino Superior Court, finding him guilty of attempted voluntary manslaughter for the horror he inflicted on 41-year-old Martha Briseno.
Carlos Briseno was also found guilty of assault with a deadly weapon -- the SUV -- and inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant, court records state. He returns to court Nov. 30 for sentencing.
Prosecutors had sought an attempted murder conviction.
