TOMS RIVER-- Richard Toledo pleaded guilty to two counts of murder and one count of kidnapping this morning before Superior Court Judge Barbara A. Villano in the claw-hammer murders of two Stafford boys in 2006.
Toledo is facing a maximum sentence of 30 years to life in prison for the murder of Karlo Gonzalez, 14 and life without any parole for killing Karlo's brother Zabdiel Gonzalez, 7-years-old.
Toledo also is facing a maximum of 30 years in prison for the kidnapping of the boys' mother Wanda Gonzalez.
Toledo, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, rented a room in the family's home in the Ocean Acres section of Stafford Township. Authorities say that after beating and strangling the boys, Toledo abducted their mother Wanda Gonzalez at knifepoint and forced her to withdraw $500 from a local ATM.
He then headed north on Garden State Parkway, police said, and stopped at a Monmouth County rest stop where Gonzalez was able to break free and call the police. Toledo was arrested several hours later.
In November 2006, Toledo pleaded not guilty.
Toledo would have gone on trial for the murders in May.
The type of person McCain wants admitted to this country. McCain voted against the Cornyn amendment that would bar terrorists and other violent criminals from US. That is insane.
Does NJ have the death penalty? If not, why make a guilty plea in this case?
Just wondering.
I wish it were only McCain who allows these miscreants into this country.
I believe Corzine just rescinded it
NJ had a death penalty and recently revoked it. No big deal, because NJ hasn’t applied it in decades anyway. Spineless and corrupt fools run this state.
I couldn't imagine that kind of thing happening in my home state of Alabama.
NJ does not have the death penalty.
...except for babies.
Yep, another one of Juan’s Little Angels strikes a blow for amnesty. Geesh, I hate McCain.
Part of Bush’s legacy.

Do I REALLY Have To Say It?
Yes, unfortunately there are far too many others who have infiltrated our government, and they will support him. To my great disappointment, Thompson endorsed him. Amnesty lobby must be ecstatic.
The fix was in for McCain - the worst possible candidate. He has not one single positive trait that would make me vote for him.
I wish I could disagree. His inaction on this issue is something I’ll always remember him for.
New Jersey should just imprison the hammer. That would be cheaper, and everyone would be safe.
If he runs against Hillary, I’ll stay home. If he runs against Obama, I’ll hold my nose and vote for McLame rather than watch Minister Obama help his gangsta thug stormtroopers turn all of America into what they have already turned our once wonderful cities.
If it helps him get establish and get a job, rather than move back to his old neighborhood and fall back in with his old crowd, it's money well spent. My main question would be how effective it is. Effective rehabilitation is less expensive than re-incarceration, and it spares potential future victims.
And if you think that rehabilitation is just some fuzzy-headed liberal notion take it up with those lefties Chuck Colson and Tom Tancredo.
Probably a McAin voter.
