Denver man sentenced to 20 years in prison for assault and strangulation of his girlfriend.

At the time of the incident, Garcia was on probation for a separate domestic violence case involving a different female victim, the release stated. In the Morales case, prosecutors asked the court for a 67-year sentence based on the assault and strangulation, as well as the defendant’s prior record — seven domestic violence convictions involving seven different female victims.

“Given the facts of Thomas Garcia’s violent assault and strangulation of Karen Morales, his lengthy assaultive history against women as well as the fact that he was on probation for a prior domestic violence offense at the time of this offense, we believed a 67-year sentence would not only serve to punish Thomas Garcia’s behavior but also ensure that the community remains safe,” Assistant District Attorney Maggie Conboy said in the release.
