Cedeno Still In Prison
SANTO DOMINGO AP Cesar Cedeno Houston Astros star outfielder remains jailed in the death of a Dominican woman. He is expected to spend New Year’s Day in prison after Christmas darkness. A prison spokesman said Cedeno was quiet but sad and listened to music while eating Dominican food delivered by relatives. He was indicted in the shooting death of 19 year old Altagracia de la Cruz in a hotel room three weeks ago. His bail bid failed as courts recess until Jan 8. Cedeno says the death was accidental and police exonerated him, but an investigating judge ordered him held for further investigation.
