In 1987 Rosario Munoz was an illegal alien living in Los Angeles when she sat in wait and then murdered a woman. The victim was sitting beside her 14 month old daughter when she was shot and killed by Munoz. The victim was her husband's long time mistress. The murderer had been long aware of the adulterous relationship between her husand and the victim.
Munoz had taken a gun from the business she owned with her husband and rode on the bus to the victim's home. She waited, and when her husband and the victim drove up in a truck with the victim's 14 month old daughter sitting between them, she shot and killed the woman. She was convicted in 1989 and has spent the last 15 years in prison.
The convict's excuse was that she was abused by her husband and that she was being jailed because she was an illegal alien..
Governor Schwarzenegger has decided to uphold the California Parole board's ruling to let her be released from her prison sentence and she is paroled.
No comment as to whether or not she will be deported to her native Mexico or will be allowed to continue living illegally in the United States.
It might be --- but adultery is a reason for divorce not murder. I wonder if the murderer was even in a legal marriage or had slept with the man and figured he was her common law husband. You see a lot of that.
