Sentencing Day Two

Benito's daughter is now being interviewed in the video.

So far the video has shown interviews with about two dozen people who are relatives or friends of Albarran. All ask the jurors to spare his life.

They say that they pray God wil touch the jurors hearts and they will spare Albarran's life.

The video shows several different people asking the jury to spare Albarran's life.

The video is now showing an interview conducted with Albarran's mother.

Court as resumed. We are now watching a 69 minutes video showing Albarran's village (Cacuamanche) in Mexico. The video has an interview with the former mayor of the village.


Roberto Albarran, Benito's brother, is now on the stand.

The second witness of the day is on the stand. She's another sister of Albarran. All of these witnesses basically hit on the same three themes:
1. They grew up poor in Mexico.
2. Their father suffered from mental disease and could be mean.
3. They are Catholics.



Testimony just got underway. Another member of the Albarran family is on the stand. The audience watching the proceedings, is probably the smallest it has been the entire time of the trial.
