Houston, Texas – The Conditional Release Council announced on Thursday that the woman who was convicted of killing the Tijano legend of Selena Quintanella Perez has been deprived of a conditional release and will continue to spend a life sentence to shoot at the young murderous singer in one of the Texas Mots in 1995.
Yolanda Saldifar, 64, was for the first time since the murder of the singer, who is known to the masses as simply Selena.
One of the first Mexican American artists to stormed the prevailing music scene, Selena shattered barriers in front of women in Latin music. She was 23 years old and is about to cross into pop stars in English when she was killed.
The family of the singer and Chris Perez, widowed, expressed their gratitude to the Amnesty Council for Texas and Bardon.
They said in a statement published on social media: “Although nothing can restore Selena, this decision reaffirms that justice continues in the beautiful life that was taken from us and millions of fans around the world very early.”
In explaining the decision to reject the conditional release, the council said in a statement that the committee found that Saldfar was still a threat to public safety. He also said that the nature of the crime indicated “a conscious ignorance of the lives, safety or property of others.”
SALDíVAR, who is serving her in Gatesville Prison, will be eligible to review it again for a conditional release in 2030.
SALDívar established Selena’s Fan Club and was the director of the singer’s clothing store, Selena, etc., until it was launched in early March 1995 after the money was discovered.
Celina, born in Corpus Christi, was shot at the back with a 38 -caliber pistol in A Days Inn Motel at Corpus Christi on March 31, 1995. She was able to run to the motor lounge, where she collapsed, and her death was announced in a hospital one hour later.
The mail staff witnessed that Selena was named “Yolanda” in “Room 158” as its striker.
“I didn’t mean to do this. I didn’t mean to kill anyone,” Saldfar said, crying during a nine -hour confrontation with the police. The officers told that she bought a 38 -caliber pistol to kill herself.
More than 50,000 people lined up to see Selena’s body on the day she was previously developed in Memorial Park in Said on April 3, 1995, just 13 days before her twenty -fourth birthday.
Saldívar’s trial was transferred to Houston due to the propaganda surrounding the case. Saldívar saw that she was intending to kill herself while confrontation with Selena, but the Venice made a mistake.
On October 23, 1995, the Saldifar jury was convicted of first -class killing. She was sentenced to life imprisonment with the possibility of conditional release after 30 years.
While in prison, Saldívar, a former nurse, got the degree of base and assistant in criminal justice. Many complaints of civil rights that claim to be abused by the state’s prison system, according to court records, have also helped to provide petitions for other prisoners.
In the court documents as of 2016, Saldívar said that she was detained in preventive reservation – this means that she was separated from other prisoners – because prison officials were interested in her safety because of the “prominent” nature of her case. She made several calls of her condemnation, but she was all rejected.
Known as “Queen of Tijano”, Selena rose to stardom and won my grassy during the Tijano music boom in the early 1990s. Her songs included “Bidi Bidi Bom Bom”, “Como La Flor”, “Amor Prohibido”, “No Me Quada MAS” and “Tu Solo Tu”.
The flood gates opened a new generation of contemporary artists of Latin origin who will continue to enjoy very popular with the prevailing American masses. I often sang in Spanish and spoke in English, reflecting a multicultural identity that resonated with listeners.
“Dreaming of You”, released her cross -language album a few months after her death, topped the Billboard 200 game and was characterized by “I can fall in love” and “Dreaming of You”.
Jennifer Lopez, the singer, played in the 1997 “Selena” biography.
