News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

22 years for Mexican who killed Tucsonan

A man from Mexico was sentenced to 22 years for gunning down a Tucsonan making a phone call.

Pima County Superior Court Judge Howard Fell yesterday sentenced Ruben Espinoza-Sanchez, 25, to the maximum sentence for second-degree murder.

A jury in December rejected a first-degree murder charge against Espinoza-Sanchez for the Sept. 14, 2005, slaying of Juan Francisco Favela, 39, of Tucson.

The jury also convicted Espinoza-Sanchez of armed robbery. Fell gave Espinoza-Sanchez the maximum term for the armed robbery, 21 years, but made the sentence run concurrently with the murder sentence.
