Target: Syed Rizwan Farook, 29, converted Enrique Marquez Jr, 25, into a fanatical Muslim then used him to help prepare for the massacre
The father of one of the San Bernardino terror attack victims has called the fact that the Muslim convert who aided the mass murderer will escape a life term a 'travesty'.
Enrique Marquez Jr was in court in Riverside, California, Thursday to enter a guilty plea as part of a deal that will see him sentenced to a maximum of 25 years.
He bought guns which were used in the massacre and had been plotting other terror attacks for years with Syed Rizwan Farook.
He had been facing up to 50 years behind bars if he had been convicted after a trial.
But Gregory Clayborn, 58, of Los Angeles, California, stood up before Judge Jesus G. Bernal to demand he gets life without parole. Outside court, he called the deal a 'travesty'.
Clayborn's daughter Sienna, 27, was one of the 14 gunned down by Farook, 29, and his Pakistani wife Tashfeen Malik, 30, at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino on December 2 2015.
Fighting back tears, he said: 'Why is this man [Marquez] not being charged with murder? If he had not purchased those weapons, we would not be here. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4231078/San-Bernardino-gunman-plotted-kill-eight-YEARS.html
