Four young men went to trial, accused of trying to kill rival gang members.
Both attempted murders were motivated by the victims’ apparent association with another gang. The leader of the clique, 32-year-old Andy Tovar of White Post, Va., entered a guilty plea days before trial on his involvement in one of the attempted murders and a 2017 murder in Charlottesville.The first victim was attacked in March 2019. In a wooded area in Bristow, Va., he was shot multiple times and stabbed in the neck. Three months later, the second victim was shot.
Tovar, Cruz Moreno and Perez Sandoval will each face a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years and up to life in prison when they are sentenced later this year. Torres and Rosales Juarez face up to 20 years in prison.The defendants argued they were being blamed for crimes in which they played little or no part, while the major players were given immunity in exchange for their testimony.
“The people that did the murders are not here,” Thomas Walsh, who represented Cruz Moreno, said in his opening statement. Assistant U.S. Attorney Nicholas Murphy countered in closing that all were willing participants who understood completely what they were doing. “Joining MS-13, a gang that they know is defined by violence, is a choice,” he said. “The victims … didn’t have a choice when they were brutally attacked.”

THE TALENTED MS. HOLMES | Vanity Fair | October 2016From the moment Elizabeth Holmes arrived on the tech scene, around 2003, as a 19-year-old Stanford dropout with a world-changing idea, an epic ambition, and a Steve Jobs-ian aura, her rise was meteoric.
