Some Good News ~ FINALLY: Mexican Drug Cartel's Kidnap Gang's Leader Gets 12 Life Terms (and in MY city too)

Happened right here in San Diego peeps.

I say that the jury and the court failed on this one count though. They should have just taken this piece of cockroach sh** out back of the court house immediately and shot his miserable @$$ dead right there in the parking lot. But then, I have a real soft heart. If I were offered the chance by San Diego's finest to "do the deed" without any blow-back to myself I'd do it and lose no sleep over sending this roach on a one way journey to the nearest roach motel where "the roaches check in but they never check out". Read the comments below the article too. Seems I'm in good company with my opinion.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The leader of a Mexican drug gang that killed and kidnapped people in Southern California has been sentenced to a dozen life sentences without chance of parole.

U-T San Diego (http://bit.ly/1vwgjq2) says Jorge Rojas Lopez also got an additional 162 years to life Wednesday in San Diego.
Lopez was convicted of four murders and pleaded guilty to five more.
Authorities say Lopez was the head of Los Palillos — Spanish for "The Toothpicks."
The defense argued that many of the people who were killed or held captive for ransom belonged to a Mexican drug cartel.
Rojas was one of 18 people indicted in connection with the gang.
Co-leader Juan Francisco Estrada Gonzalez was sentenced Tuesday to nine life terms.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
The co-leader of a violent Mexican drug gang convicted of several murders was sentenced in San Diego County to nine life terms of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Tuesday's sentencing of Juan Francisco Estrada Gonzalez ends the longest criminal trial in county history, lasting 15 months including jury selection, U-T San Diego reported (http://bit.ly/1w5otCz).
In January, a jury found him responsible for six murders and four kidnappings, plus an attempted kidnapping, and allegations that made him eligible for the death penalty.
The bodies of some murder victims were left in cars, dumped on roadsides or dissolved in vats of acid and buried in the Tijuana River Valley, the newspaper said.
The jury deadlocked over whether to recommend life or death, ruling out a death sentence without another trial.
Estrada thanked his defense team for their work.
"Due to their tremendous effort, they succeeded in saving my life," he said in a letter read Tuesday by one of his lawyers, Keith Rutman.
Estrada apologized to the judge for any "unacceptable behavior" he might have demonstrated in the courtroom. He offered his condolences to the victims' families.
Estrada was one of the top two figures in Los Palillos, or the Toothpicks, a breakaway cell from the Arellano Felix cartel that established a foothold in the U.S., prosecutors said.
Estrada was one of 18 people indicted in connection with the gang, which prosecutors said kidnapped and held people in stash houses in San Diego County while demanding money from their families.
The kidnappings and killings happened between 2004 and 2007.
Estrada and Jorge Rojas Lopez, the head Los Palillos, were already serving life in prison without parole on previous kidnapping convictions when they were tried in the latest case.
Rojas was expected to be sentenced Wednesday.
