Fired worker pleads guilty in boss' 1992 slaying
By Craig Kapitan - Express-News A San Antonio woman with a history of mental illness pleaded guilty Monday to an 18-year-old cold case involving the shooting death of her former boss.
Prosecutors have agreed to seek no more than 20 years in prison for Carmen Hinojosa Najera, 51, who approached police with a confession in 2008. She will be sentenced next month before state District Judge Juanita Vasquez-Gardner.
