A
Pacifica man convicted of stabbing his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend in
the head with an ice pick has been sentenced to more than nine years in
prison, a prosecutor said.
Judge Clifford Cretan handed down the sentence Thursday.
The stabbing happened Nov. 15, 2010, when Armstrong, who was with his new girlfriend, spotted an ex-girlfriend and her boyfriend near the Pacifica pier. The men exchanged stares and words before Armstrong allegedly tossed a lit firecracker at the victim. At that point the victim, whose name was not immediately available, confronted Armstrong and was stabbed.
Wagstaffe said the pick went through the victim's skull and into his brain, leaving him with permanent damage to his motor functions. Armstrong was arrested a short time later and denied responsibility for the stabbing.

Probably out in 4 while the victim has a lifetime sentence. The chase referred to took place in Linda Mar near Capistrano. At the time the guy just disappeared on foot into the neighborhood.
