    Ventura Man Sentenced to 29 Years to Life for Domestic Violence Crimes

    VENTURA, California – District Attorney Gregory D. Totten announced today that Daniel John Marcus (DOB 05/30/86), of Ventura, was sentenced to 29 years to life in prison by Judge Jeffrey Bennett.  A jury convicted Marcus on January 23, 2019, of inflicting corporal injury on a cohabitant, dissuading a witness by force or violence, and false imprisonment. The jury also found that Marcus inflicted great bodily injury to the victim.  Additionally, Marcus was found to have been previously convicted of two strike offenses for kidnapping and criminal threats against a prior domestic violence victim.

    On the night of July 7, 2015, Marcus tackled his girlfriend into a dining room table, causing her injuries. They then fell to the ground where Marcus prevented her from moving. When the victim was finally able to rise, she needed medical attention and attempted to change clothes so she could go to the hospital. Marcus then threatened her life and dissuaded her from contacting law enforcement. The case was investigated by the Ventura Police Department and prosecuted by the District Attorney’s Sexual Assault and Family Protection Unit.
