I received an email regarding the death of Luis Santos. Esteban Nunez the son of State Assemblyman Fabian Nunez is about to have is day in court for murdering a San Diego college student.

This is in regards to the murder of Concord native Luis Santos and his upcoming murder trial be 4 defendants including the son of Fabian Nunez.  I wonder how all of the politicos of Nunez’s father feel now after writing all of their letters about what a “good” boy Esteban is……  that’ll come back to bite them in the butt.

Of course, the other politicians were probably trying to do Fabian a favor by writing these letters but lets be honest. As the reader points out, these letters could come back to haunt them. How can you support your story about how ‘good’ a kid is when you never actually got to know him. Especially if he’s now going to be testified against by one of the other kids arrested as an accessory to the murder.

One of four young men charged in the fatal stabbing of a San Diego college student pleaded guilty Thursday and agreed to testify against the others, including the son of former state Assembly Speaker Fabian Nuñez.

Rafael Garcia, a college student in Northern California, pleaded guilty to felony conspiracy to destroy evidence, including a bloody shirt. In exchange, prosecutors dropped a murder charge against him in the Oct. 4 death of Luis Santos.

As part of a plea bargain, Garcia agreed to testify against three co-defendants: Ryan Jett, Esteban Nuñez and Leshanor Thomas.

Garcia’s attorney, Paul Pfingst, said there was no evidence that his client took part in a street brawl that led to the stabbing.

Deputy Dist. Atty. Jill DiCarlo said Garcia was considered the least culpable of the four. No other plea bargains are anticipated, she said.

The district attorney’s recommendation on whether Garcia should go to prison and, if so, for how long, will await his testimony, DiCarlo said.

The four were charged with killing Santos, a student at Mesa College, after a night of drinking and parties near San Diego State.

Prosecutors allege that the three remaining defendants attacked Santos after being rebuffed in their attempt to crash a fraternity party. Defense attorneys say their clients acted in self-defense.

Of the four, only Jett remains in jail, unable to meet a $1-million bond.
