Youth killer Bucio seeks rehabilitation over prison
In a tearful Friday hearing Bucio, 13, pleaded for mercy after being found guilty of murder and child endangering in the June 16 2003 death of his 13 month old half-brother Jesus Rodriguez. The defense cited abuse and urged placement in the juvenile rehabilitation center for a six to nine month program rather than adult prison. The victim’s mother, Dalia Rodriguez, asked for mercy while noting past help requests were denied. The state cited the brutal act against a defenseless baby and urged continued accountability.
