A couple who were attacked at an airport parking lot by a knife wielding man told a judge on Nov. 14 about the impact on them before he was sentenced to 13 years in state prison.
\nDr. Donna Kashani, a child and adolescent psychiatrist in La Jolla, testified she and her husband, Robert Bobbett, were the ones attacked on Oct. 28, 2017 just after they returned from a Washington, D.C. conference.
\n“We were viciously attacked\u2026 in broad daylight,” said Kashani about the incident in a long term parking lot near the San Diego International Airport.
\nBobbett, a vice president of an IT company in San Diego, was stabbed six times and said he spent six days in the hospital.
\nAlberto Moreno Jauregui, now 19, stared at the couple as they were reading their statements before San Diego Superior Court Judge Polly Shamoon.
\n“You put me in a headlock at knifepoint,” said Kashani to Jauregui, adding that her husband wrestled the knife away from him and “he saved my life.” Jauregui pleaded guilty Oct. 16 to attempted murder and admitted he caused great bodily injuries with a knife. Shamoon imposed nine years plus three years for the great bodily injuries allegation and one year for the knife.
\n“You cowardly attacked her from behind and held a 10-inch kitchen knife,” said Bobbett to Jauregui.
\nBobbett said he recalled offering his car keys, and wallet, but Jauregui only wanted to kidnap his wife.
\nBobbett said Jauregui yelled “I\u2019m going to (expletive) kill her!” and screamed “die, die, die!”
\nBobbett said the stab wounds struck his left kidney and he had no feeling in a finger that was severely cut.
\n“We are both good people. What a horrible choice you made,” said Bobbett. “You are nothing but a small detour.”
\nJauregui responded in court by yelling he didn\u2019t have access to mental health treatment.
\nJauregui fled the scene of the attack but Harbor Police arrested him on Nov. 7, 2017.
\nBobbett said they have since installed a high end security system for their home. He said he has frequent nightmares about the attack.
\nThe judge dismissed other charges of attempted carjacking, two counts of felony assault to both the man and his wife, and attempted kidnapping.
\n“This was a horrible, violent, vicious attack,” said Shamoon.
\nShe gave him credit for serving 428 days in jail and fined him $4,124.
\nCriminal proceedings had been suspended against Jauregui since March after his attorney doubted his mental competency to stand trial. However, another judge found him mentally competent on Oct. 3 and proceedings against Jauregui resumed.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
