Default Man accused in death of 9-year-old rejects plea deal

Although the article does not state that the accused is an illegal alien, I remember when he was arrested and it was stated then.

Man accused in death of 9-year-old rejects plea deal
By Miguel Liscano | Monday, February 1, 2010, 03:55 PM
A Williamson County man accused of sexually assaulting and killing a 9-year-old girl at her Cedar Park home last year rejected a plea agreement today and will face trial on capital murder charges.
Rone Nuñez, pictured at right, was indicted in August on six counts, including capital murder and super-aggravated sexual assault of a child, in connection with the April 25 death of Cecilia Margarita Izquierdo-Vallina.
The indictment said Nuñez, who is a Honduran national, slashed Cecilia’s throat with a “knife or unknown object, in the course of committing or attempting to commit aggravated sexual assault or kidnapping.”
In Judge Billy Ray Stubblefield’s courtroom today, Nuñez rejected a deal to plead guilty to super-aggravated sexual assault in exchange for life without the possibility of parole.
A trial date was set for September, and the D.A.’s office said it has not ruled out seeking the death penalty as it does in some capital murder cases.
Nuñez rented a room in the house in the 2100 block of East Riviera Drive and lived with the girl’s family, but he was not related to family members, officials said.
Cedar Park police initially said Cecilia was accidentally electrocuted when family members found her unresponsive in the backyard about 3:30 p.m.
Investigators at the scene found burns on Cecilia’s neck, right arm, torso and her right leg, Cedar Park Police Chief Henry Fluck has said.
Detectives also found a small pile of charred material smoldering next to her, he said.
Fluck said investigators did notice a wound on Cecilia’s neck. But he said he could not explain, without discussing details and possibly compromising the case, why those investigators initially said it appeared to be an accident. Generally speaking, he said, victims of electrocution burns typically show entry and exit wounds.
“From the onset, the Cedar Park Police Department investigated this as a homicide and investigated all aspects of this incident,” Fluck said. District Attorney John Bradley later asked the Texas Rangers to join the investigation.

This is my opinion and mine alone, it does not represent the views of others here at this board or anywhere else.

They're not going to discuss it because if they did, it would show them to be incompetent investigative bunglers. That's what would compromise their case.

If she died from having her throat cut, she would have bled to death. They didn't notice all the blood?

All it takes for electrical shock to kill someone is less than 8/10ths of an amp at thirty volts across the heart.

It's true that many electrical injuries and deaths have entry and exit wounds, particularly with higher voltages, but not always.

This isn't enough information for a conclusion.

She was in the back yard. No mention of downed electrical conductors, no mention of using a faulty electrical device.

There is a wound on her neck, there is a burn on her neck. Are the two the same? Or, which is it, a burn or a cut?

Burns on the right arm, torso, and right leg. A smoldering pile of charred material next to her. What is the source of the burns and what ignited the material next to her? Not a word. Just an allegation of assault and murder and the fact that the man is illegal - enough to be tried and convicted in the media.

If the man sexually assaulted the girl, there will be DNA evidence. And they need to convincingly clarify how the girl died.

If she died at the illegal's hands, he needs to fry in hell for it.

If he's innocent, he needs to be deported to his home country.

In the meantime, what the girl's memory needs is a competent, intelligent jury who will look at the facts of the case and not be swayed by either emotion or bullshit blather from either side.
