  "He pleaded guilty to two counts of second-degree murder," Troy Benson, a Santa Clara County deputy district attorney, said.
  
  Benson added Eti admitted that he killed the victims Trevor Adrian De Voe, 24, and Irwin Lorenzo Dillon II, 20 to benefit a street gang he was affiliated with, the Sons of Samoa.
  
  According to Benson, the Sons of Samoa originate in Long Beach, Calif., and are associated with the notoriously violent Crips street gang of Southern California.
  
  "Eti is actually a member of a particular sect of the Sons of Samoa known as the C Street gang in San Jose," Benson said.
  ...
  Benson said Eti initially faced death penalty charges, or "special allegations," for the killings.
  ...
  "He asked to plead in exchange for us taking away the special allegations," Benson said.

  Even if Leo had bitten him inside the car , there would be no defense to the fact that he reached in with both hands and pulled the dog out , Benson said.
