33 year old Jerome Alverto was sentenced to almost 49 years in prison in a Tacoma, WA courtroom Friday for pistol whipping and beating his ex-wife back in 2006. According to court documents, Stephanie Wilson was shot 5 times, beaten and pistol whipped in the head, and suffered serious injuries.
Alverto was convicted of attempted first-degree murder, first-degree burglary and first-degree robbery with a weapons enhancement.
Judge Kitty Ann Van Doornick sentenced Alverto to a total of 48 years, 10 months and two weeks in prison. Doormick said Alverto must first serve 15 years without possibility of parole for the weapons charge and then the rest of the sentence afterwards.
The victim's mother, Joan E. Sterling, testified about how the attack left her daughter with an inoperable, and potentially fatal brain condition. The victim, Stephanie Wilson attended her attacker's sentencing, but declined to speak because her doctor told her to avoid stress.

I am so tired of another wannabe gangster getting his tough on with a defenseless woman. Big strong men molest children and beat women but wouldn't try that bully sh_t on someone their own size. I can only hope sweet irony comes when this coward Jerome "I'm Bad" Alverto meets his prison playmates. Another thing, what's with the light sentence Washington? If she died or lost her face would that be serious enough? She lived and that doesn't diminish the crime of premeditated murder because of her good fortune. Somehow, this OJ wannabe is gonna be out on parole after he gets religion and he will kill someone.
I hope Stephanie finds peace and can trust a man in the future, we are not all insecure losers.
I knew this guy personally.
I've also read the court documents.
He was not a "wannabe gangster."
He was a seemingly nice person to most people. If you met him casually, you'd probably like him and not suspect that he could make such evil choices.
Unfortunately, he was also an obsessive psycho with religious delusions who could not let go of a relationship that he destroyed.
I don't know if that makes it better or worse. Draw your own conclusions. I certainly cannot excuse his behavior. That behavior and the choices he made were evil in, I think, the true sense of the word.
I also knew him, I actually dated him for almost a little over a year, years before this went down. He was not normal in any sense of the word. 49 years is a long time. When I knew him, he was very family oriented, loved his daughter above all. I am not sure if he had children with this woman, I hope not...but I know he and I talked about marriage a few times, and he made it pretty clear that once you are his bride, it would be eternal. Crazy talk. I feel so horrible for the woman he did this to. But, he had some mental problems that became pretty glaring when you were in a relationship with him. Not to excuse any of his actions, because he was sick, and this crime is heartbreaking. But I know 49 years in prison, and not being able to be a parent will really weigh on him. I pray for Stephanie as well.
