Death penalty hearing begins
Pascual Lozano was absent Tuesday as jurors began to weigh whether they should give him the death penalty for the 2002 murder of 9-year-old Genesis Gonzalez.
Mom's Comment: Darren Mack, white and wealthy is alleged to have murdered his wife (in front of the children?) and purposely goes and shoots a judge. No death penalty case.
Hispanic, alleged gang member, probably poor, kills a child by mistake. DEATH Penalty.
Pascual Lozano breathes a sigh of relief after a District Court jury sentenced him to life in prison with the possibility of parole Friday. Lozano was convicted on Monday of first- degree murder for the death of 9-year-old Genesis Gonzalez.
