  1. 20 years for murder is a joke. I got 20 years in the 1990’s for being a drug dealer. I did 4.5 years in the pen and turned my life around. I truly hope that he does all 20 years for what he did to Monica.He surely deserves it. I also hope he accepts Jesus into his life. My heart goes out to Monica’s family. I pray that they receive some closure and peace. .

  2. 20 YEARS FOR MURDER. THAT IS A SLAP ON THE WRIST. HE DESERVED LIFE FOR TAKING THE LIFE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL YOUNG WOMAN.

  3. Monica is my daughter and justice was finally served we will fight to keep him for his 20 yr sentence

    1. My family is going through this also and we will fight tooth and nail for him to stay everyday that he was sentenced to. God bless you and your family

    2. So sorry for your loss. We will be praying for you and your family. He should have gotten a longer sentence but God will take care of everything. Trust in the Lord our God!

    3. Hi Mrs Castaneda. I am Monica and jessicas friend and I am glad today was a good day for you all. I’m still so sorry, but hopefully it brings you guys some peace.

    4. Im so glad justice was served i pray they keep him in there the whole time i know it doesn’t bring her back my friend but at least you can have a little peace we are all keeping you in our prayers

  4. What a shame. He gets 20 years, will probably be out in 12. And she is dead forever. Where is the justice in that?
