In season 8, episode 6, we see the love
story of Melissa Garcia and Edward Garcia who committed the murder
of Herbert Tracy Whitey5 in the state of California. A love story gone
twisted, that ends with Melissa Garcia pleading guilty to
voluntary manslaughter and other charge and being sentenced to 16
years and Edward Garcia being convicted of first-degree murder and
sentenced to life without parole.
Oxygen describes the show as a couple
of drifters befriend a good Samaritan with horrific results.
Her appeal includes:
Police surreptitiously recorded jailhouse conversations between Rivas and others. The conversations included threats and plans of violence against witnesses. Rivas said people from his gang were snitching on him and he was waiting for "paperwork" to verify who was snitching. Paperwork was documentation that a person was talking with police. Rivas suspected Alvarez was snitching.
Jose Villanueva, an MS gang member in 2001 and 2002, testified he had
been a "shot-caller" for the gang in San Fernando Valley. He knew
Alvarez. She was an MS gang member. A person named Comandari was the
leader of MS in Los Angeles. At the end of 2001 or the beginning of
2002, Villanueva met with Comandari and persons named Gato and Enano.
Gato and Enano were MS gang members. There was paperwork proving women
were going to testify against Rivas, and Comandari ordered Villanueva to
kill two women. Enaro and Comandari indicated they wanted Villanueva to
kill Alvarez too. Villanueva did not try to kill the other two women.
