A 21-year-old man from Newbury Park is facing a murder charge after allegedly attacking his 63-year-old mother with a hammer, resulting in her death on Friday. Prosecutors are planning to file the murder charge against Scott Goldberg, the son of the victim, Alison Marshall. The incident occurred on November 19 inside their family home on Mayfield Court. Goldberg was initially charged with the attempted murder of his mother, but with her passing, the charges will be upgraded to murder. The attack also targeted Goldberg’s 64-year-old father, who survived. The District Attorney’s Office is currently making arrangements to shift the case to the more serious charge of murder. Goldberg had been held in county jail with a bail set at around $500,000, but the prosecution successfully requested for bail to be denied entirely. As a result, Goldberg will remain in custody until his trial. He has not entered a plea to the original charges and it is unclear if the upgraded charge will impact his scheduled court dates. Goldberg is currently being held at the county’s main jail in Ventura.
