Israel Mireles testifies in Emily Sander murder trial

Mireles

Mireles is accused of killing college student Emily Sander in Butler County, and Kansas AG Steve Six is serving as the prosecutor, the Wichita Eagle reports. Closing statements should start this afternoon. The defense has argued that a second man came to a motel room where Sander and Mireles had had sex and that, after Mireles and this guy fought, Mireles left for a bit, only to return and find Sander's body.

Six tried to poke holes in the narrative -- namely, that Mireles, upon finding Sander's body, would try to dispose of the corpse if he hadn't killed her.

Six also went over other details of Mireles' story -- that he was so panicked he grabbed a knife that had Sander's blood on it, "the murder weapon," Six called it, and Sander's body and put them in the trunk and disposed of the body.

Mireles said that was correct.

"Does this make any sense to you?" Six asked.

"None of it makes any sense to me," Mireles said.

What a lying coward. Now do to a promise to crime-riddled Mexico,the maggot gets free room & board for life, on the U.S. taxpayer.Should have caught 'em before he made the border-then he could have had the needle!

The US should have Mexico pay for their little darlings ...

He raped her with a knife.. this has got to be on the top ten lists of horrifying thoughts. Maybe, just maybe, someone will return the favor.
