Innocent
Good morning, my name is Jorge Riojas and it is my pleasure to represent Mr. Bruce Sauceda in this very important case. The defendant stands here falsely accused of 1st degree murder, a very serious crime against his own sister. At the end of this trial we will ask for your verdict of innocent. It is virtually impossible for my client to be responsible for the death of his own sister. On the day of February 19, 2016, my client made an emergency call because he found his sister on the floor with what appeared to him as stab wounds. If he were in fact the perpetrator of this horrendous act, do you really think he would be the one to call 911? Absolutely not, your honor! My client

Mely Hernandez. Mrs., Hernandez how was the relationship with Mrs. Sauceda? In your statement you mentioned that Mr. Roy was a bit “odd” what did you refer by that? Why did you say that Mr. Roy was incapable of murdering Mrs. Sauceda? Thank you for your time. As you have now heard my client would be incapable of murdering his sister, and neither would Roy. So, who is the perp? Who is responsible for this horrendous crime you ask? The answer is, Humberto Ramirez! In his statement he said, and I quote “I never really hung out with Jill, but I know she would talk to several neighbors” he then said, that he “never really had much contact with Jill.” However, the text messages prove otherwise. The text message at 2:55 p.m. suggest that he and the victim where starting to frequent each other more, and possibly that they were even secretly dating. You can also observe that he was the last person to see Jill before the incident. He mentioned in his statement that he saw Jill taking out the trash in her work clothes, but the text messages prove that Mr. Ramirez saw the victim with her pajamas on. He even sends her a message saying that her “pjs looked awesome!” His whole statement is inconsistent with the hard proof that lies in the messages! He is the one that should be questioned; not my client. (Point at

    Upon the guilty plea, Susan Lucille Wright was sentenced to twenty-five years. In November of 2010, Susan had been resentenced to twenty years. The judge believed during the punishment phase of her trial Susan had inadequate representation. Recently in 2014 Susan has been eligible for parole, which in which she did not receive. In my opinion, I would also believe that Susan committed murder. Normal human beings don’t stab each-other 193 times because of abuse. Susan’s sentencing seems fit for the crime she…

    Therefore, within Deaver's testimony, the court ruled that the police improperly obtained computer files showing Michael Peterson's fascination with gay pornography and his email exchanges with a male escort, which prosecutors used in 2003 to establish a motive for Kathleen Peterson's murder. During the trial Michael Peterson hardly said a word as he understood his rights and the aspects of the plea deal he was taking. He then sat passively as Kathleen Peterson's two sisters released years of pent-up anger in blistering victim statements such as Kathleen sister Lori said, "It's wrong that, after a jury sentenced him to life in prison for the murder of his wife, he gets to be a free man while Kathleen lies in her grave. Closure is for a door, not for my murdered sister." Another sister couldn't believe her sister had been killed and that her death had to have been an accident, but after reading the autopsy report and looking at the crime scene photos opened a bag full of doubt and anger. She stated, "All the evils of my sister's death leaped into my eyes. The horrors of my sister's beating were home, "Kathleen did not die slowly, but a three-hour death”. To Kathleen’s sisters, they did not care if he entered an Alford plea, for them he was guilty no matter what. Before the trial was completed Michael Peterson shared his last words to the family and said, "I would like to say, 'Candace, we all loved Kathleen. We all miss Kathleen. I am so sorry that you lost a sister. I'm so sorry that you lost a mother, Caitlin. I can't do anything about that. I didn't do it. But, if it will make you feel better to believe that, fine, go ahead. "If anyone can find any good in Kathleen's death, I'm fine with that. I can't". From that day in 2017, Michael Peterson walks a free man of the mystery…

    In February 2009, 12 year old Jordan Brown was the main suspect in his own stepmother’s murder. She was found with a gunshot wound to the head, she was eight months pregnant. Although it was very rare to charge someone so young as an adult, but the Pennsylvania prosecutor left them little choice, it is also very rare for a 12 year old boy to commit a violent crime such as he did. Jordan’s defense argues that there were no true witnesses to his crime, no actual proof, but they also say the 4 year old daughter had heard a loud boom, which would have obviously been the gun being shot.…
