Gaspar Telles, 30, a Mexican national, was sentenced to death by a Bexar County jury for the murder of Eulalio Orosco. The trial in Ninety-fourth District Court revealed bizarre conduct by Telles, with his attorney failing to file an appeal and his mother testifying to an alibi. The defense considered insanity, but the state pursued its case based on Orosco’s statement identifying Telles as the killer, linking motive to a prior killing in August 1929.
