Street racers bound over for trial in triple murder
The two guys who held a street race in El Monte that ended in a fiery crash and killed a woman and her two children will be tried on murder charges, officials said.
Pomona Superior Court Judge Charles Horan found sufficient evidence to require Martin Morones, 21, and Robert Canizalez, 19, to proceed to trial on three counts of murder.
Canizalez also is charged with a felony count of witness intimidation.
Both men, who remain jailed, are due back in court for arraignment March 11.
The charges stem from a crash last Oct. 8 that killed 41-year-old Dora Groce and her children, Robert, 8, and Catherine, 4.

Witness intimidation (?) No remorse, no soul...I'll never understand this type of mentality nor do I want to...
