I have been on jury duty for about 6 weeks regarding the murders of Miguel Aquino, Dilcia Tejada and Elvis Hartley. As well as the attempted murder of Johanna Hartley. It was interesting to see first hand how such a court case is done. The murder scene photos are crazy. To hear what these people when through prior to being murdered was heartbreaking. Miguel suffered the worst - he was the one who was really beaten to a pulp, pistol whipped and choked prior to being shot in the head.
It was definitely an experience I'll never forget. We were able to convict Noel Bruno of 2nd degree felony murder for Dilcia and Elvis. For Miguel we were able to get 1st degree murder and attempted murder for Johanna. Noel will be spending the rest of his life in jail. It's just unfortunate there couldn't be a more severe punishment.
