Wait.. So he admitted to the murder, gave the location of the body (approximately), and is now pleading not guilty? What?
And 13 is way too young to be having sex.. There’s no way that child would have been raised properly.
And why would Mexico have any say in death penalty? Or did the story somehow forget to mention that he’s an illegal alien?
Where did he admit to murder? The version of the story posted above does't.
From the article sounds like the murderer is in jail with $2 million bail. As long as he remains in jail in the US, I would think this can be tried as a capital case, not that California actually USES the death penalty before their lifers die of old age. If he is able to make bail and then flees to Mexico, they refuse to extradite in cases where the death penalty could be applied. American prosecutors have to promise to take it off the table.
Don't be silly. The story is from the LA Slimes. According to them, there is no such thing as an illegal alien.
Mexico has no say... at this point. However, IF the perp fled to Mexico, they would not extradite him back to U.S. if he were to be facing the death penalty. That’s probably one reason, in addition to the two lives he took, for the $2 million bond.
