Domingos Oliveira trial,"dead or alive,"

SAN DIEGO -- The jury in the trial of a Spring Valley father accused of posting "wanted" noitices offering a $3,000 cash bounty for his 20-year-old daughter's 33-year-old sex offender boyfriend "dead or alive," returned a verdict Friday.

Domingos Oliveira was found guilty of both solicitation to commit murder and making a criminal threat against his daughter’s boyfriend, Sean Kirk. The threat is also considered a hate crime because Oliveira made several references to Kirk’s race.

Kirk, a registered sex offender, told police he received numerous threatening texts and emails while dating Oliveira's 20-year-old daughter, Samantha, earlier this year.

Kirk testified on Wednesday about his feelings of fear and anger when he learned there was a $3,000 reward for his body, dead or alive. He said was in class at Grossmont College when a teacher told him.

"The teacher looked at me and said, 'Hey, did you know there's a target on your head?' and I was like, 'What?' And he was like, 'Yeah, there are posters of you marked wanted: dead or alive and you're a sex offender all over campus.'"

Kirk admitted to being a registered sex offender, saying he agreed to a plea for statutory rape several years ago because he had sex with a girl he thought was 18 but it turned out she was not.

On Wednesday morning, Samantha Oliveira testified that her father is racist and often made threats against her boyfriends. She also told the court he made her type out and sign a contract last summer.

She read the following aloud in court: "Samantha Oliveira will stop having contact with Sean as of June 14, 2010. Domingos Oliveira will go to 90 AA meetings in 90 days starting June 14, 2010. Samantha Oliveira will not date or have a friend with benefits until September 17, 2010. Samantha Oliveira will not date a guy more than five years older than her with gang affiliation, ex-convicts, or of black descent until June 17th, 2012. A $2,500 fine if not followed, Sean will be killed."

"Ever since then – and I still do it to this day – I don't take the same route home," said Kirk. "I sit there and circle the block. I take a literal detour in case somebody's following me."
