Two criminals,

Two of the six perpetrators who were charged in June 2022 and who defeated the death of an inmate colleague in the US state of Colorado were sentenced to 20 years on Monday.

The 28-year-old Miguel Alvarado and Drew Anderson, 42, were charged on June 21, 2022 after the beating of the 49-year-old Samuel Garcia due to the first degree.

Alvarado and Anderson are guilty of being guilty in the second degree, a crime of class 2, with a defined documentary of 20 years to pursue successive sentences that are betting them.

Before the conviction on Monday, Anderson had entitled to the probation in July and had an esteemed obligatory release date of October 29, 2031.

Garcia's sister Christine Garcia spoke to each of the men on Monday during her separate hearings.

“Mr. Alvarado has hurt people for a long time,” she said. “Not only my family, but also the families of his other victims, not only his victims on the street, but his victims in prison, and he did this to his own family.”

She wondered why he repeated the same pattern, to hurt others and himself and whether he wanted a better life.

“Time is not on your side, the time was not on my brother's side, and one day they won't be 26 or 27 or 28 years old,” she said. “One day you will be 38 or 48 years old or 50 like my brother. There will always be someone in line, as you are waiting for the opportunity to encourage you, just like you hunted my brother.”

She said he was as dangerous in the prison system as in the free world.

“You have no regrets for what you have done to my brother, and that's okay, but think about what you do to your family,” she said. “You have to change the way you live.”

During the hearing of Anderson's afternoon, Garcia expressed grief for his actions, which led him to achieve a 20-year prison sentence shortly before he was entitled to probation.

“Now, instead of being a freelance man at some point this year, he has another 20 years now,” she said. “That makes me sad because Mr. Anderson is now in the early 1940s that he is somewhat older than the others in this case, and he should know better. I don't know how the circumstances were that he was drawn into my brother's murder, but I am sad that nobody will have the future they deserve.”

The surveillance from the scene shows that Samuel Garcia of six people who were identified as Ricardo Castro, 33, in a day hall are physically attacked, Dominik Jaramillo, 25, Jody Mabley, 56, Enrique Arellano, 31, Alvarado and Anderson.

A monitoring camera recording of the attack showed that Castro interacted a few minutes before the attack started with Alvarado.

According to an affidavit from the investigator T. Matarazzo of the General Inspector's office for the Department of Corrections, Castro, which had previously published two medical crutches due to a recent knee surgery, Alvarado Alvarado released a crutch. Alvarado made physical gestures with the crutch and meated a movement that was a spear that was aimed at invisible individuals in other scale in other contents that were on the line of sight. Alvarado returned the crutch and followed Garcia from the lower level, the stairs to the upper level, where the attack was initiated. When Alvarado Garcia tracked down the stairs, Castro went to the base of the stairs, where he was waiting.

After Garcia had initially been attacked, it tried to flee by raning the stairs from the upper level to the lower level.

Jaramillo, Arellano, Castro, Mobley and Alvarado came together in a circle around Garcia, and Jaramillo, Arellano, Alvarado and Mobley delivered all several closed patties on the head and upper body.

When the four criminals attacked the victim, Castro helped the attack by hitting him twice with the crutch and tried a third strike that was not successful in order to contact the victim, it says in the affidavit. Immediately after Castro Garcia had hit the crutch, Castro Arellano allowed him to take it over to continue to use the crutch as a weapon against Garcia, according to an affidavit.

A few seconds later, Arellano Garcia hit the face with the crutch and impaired his ability to defend himself. The crutch finally broke into several parts used by the perpetrators to continue to tackle Garcia.

Castro, who stayed near the attack and a direct view, went to Garcia (from the camera view), who was not reacting now and was on the ground on the base of the front glass wall in a large smile of blood. During the time when Castro was at Garcia's location, Arellano continued to attack him.

Castro is again seen by the camera that bends over Garcia, it says in the affidavit. Castro reappears in the camera view and holds two parts of his crutch, one piece in each hand. After that, Castro can be seen partly in the camera view. His body movements show that he probably kicks Garcia.

Castro went with two parts of his crutch onto the back of the lower level, where he lay on the floor and waited for the reactors to hold it back.

After the affidavit, Castro, who was also accompanied by the day hall when Garcia was removed from the day hall in a Gurney, looked at the victim and screamed: “The (Expletive)!”

Garcia was first brought to St. Thomas More Hospital and later to the Penrose Hospital in Colorado Springs, where he died of his injuries on June 28, 2022.

The final autopsier results showed that he died of the consequences of a blunt force trauma due to the physical attack.

Jaramillo is to be charged on July 7th. In a separate case, he was faced with a new murder suspicion.

Castro received a defined prison sentence of four years of supervised probation for his complicity in the attack, and Arellano was sentenced to 20 years in the department for corrections. Mobley reports reportedly on November 16, 2023 from suicide.
