Life Sentence for Delamora
By Jordan Smith, Fri., July 26, 2002
While Delamora admitted he had fired a shot from a 9mm pistol, Martinez argued that there was no way to prove that his client's bullet was the fatal one. At least one of the other eight CANTF members present during the raid had a 9mm pistol, but investigators never seized the officers' weapons in an effort to determine which guns were fired. Delamora will receive an automatic life sentence; the Travis Co. District Attorney's Office did not seek the death penalty.
