El Paso man gets 54 years for killing mom
San Antonio jury decides sentence after retrial moved from El Paso.By Craig Kapitan - Express-News
An El Paso man convicted of strangling his mother after she confronted him about dating his stepsister was sentenced by a San Antonio jury Wednesday to 54 years in prison.
David Marmolejo, 31, had no visible reaction as state District Judge Gonzalo Garcia announced the sentence. He will have to serve at least half of the term before he can apply for parole.
The sentence, which took jurors six hours to reach, came one day after El Paso County District Attorney Jaime Esparza reminded jurors of testimony that it would have taken up to a minute of choking for Gloria Marmolejo, 54, to have died.
