Kidnapping gang’s leader gets 12 life terms

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The convicted 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. Rojas was convicted of four murders and pleaded guilty to five more. Authorities say Rojas was the head of Los Palillos — Spanish for “the Toothpicks.”  

To keep Rojas from getting the death penalty, 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.

One thought on “Kidnapping gang’s leader gets 12 life terms

  1. Life no parole.

    Typical liberal BS. Pay for that POS for the rest of his life instead of killing the POS.

    Take out the trash you libtards, don’t pay for eternal storage & upkeep.
