No verdict yet for boyfriend in love-triangle murder trial
Jurors deliberating the guilt of Rafael Quiroz of Temple City, who faces murder charges for allegedly killing his married girlfriend's husband, left the courthouse between 4 and 4:30 p.m. today without reaching a verdict.
They are set to return to West Valley Superior Court Thursday morning to continue deliberations, a court clerk said.
Here is my post on the case from earlier today:
A jury found a San Bernardino woman guilty of murder today for the shooting death of her husband in Ontario in 2006.
Ingrid Esteves, 24, faces a prison sentence of 25 years to life for her role in the death of her husband, 26-year-old Angel Esteves, who prosecutors say was shot to death by Esteves' boyfriend on Aug. 2, 2006.
A separate jury was seated to hear the case of Ingrid Esteves' boyfriend and co-defendant -- 21-year-old Rafael Quiroz -- and they began deliberations at about noon today after attorneys gave closing arguments in West Valley Superior Court.
Jurors deliberated only about three hours before reaching a guilty verdict for Esteves, who prosecutors say lured her husband to the area of D Street and Parkside Drive to be shot by Quiroz, of Temple City.
