Draggingtree Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Did A Texas Jury Send The Right Baby Killer To Death Row?In 2005, a baby died of vicious head injuries. The man sent to death row for Baby Angel’s death was recently released after a team of hotshot lawyers took on his case for free. By Joy Pullmann NOVEMBER 24, 2014 In 2005, a Texas jury concluded that Manuel Velez had viciously murdered his girlfriend’s baby. Their verdict sent him to Texas’s death row. Earlier that year on Halloween 2005, the day before Angel Moreno’s first birthday, his blended family began their day at home. Acela Moreno, 25, an illegal immigrant; her three small children (all by different men); Velez, 40, her boyfriend of four months; and Velez’s son by another woman ate breakfast together. Angel began crying. Velez picked Angel up and shook him, Moreno told the jury. When Angel continued crying, Velez brought him into the bedroom, shook him again, and put him to sleep, she said. http://thefederalist.com/2014/11/24/did-a-texas-jury-send-the-right-baby-killer-to-death-row/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
