He then pulled the body into a creek drainpipe and set it ablaze. The victim’s remains were located downstream days after his family reported him missing.
During the punishment phase, the court heard testimony about Molina’s violent past, including domestic violence events including punching, strangling, and sexual assault. In addition to the murder accusation, Molina was charged with being an illegal alien since he was undocumented in the US.
The case emphasizes the gravity of the crime and the defendant’s history of violence, resulting in the substantial jail sentence imposed by the court.
