Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 19:22:17 GMT

Se trata de un episodio de enorme importancia en la identidad actual de los palestinos.“No creo que Occidente se dé cuenta de la profundidad de la vergüenza colectiva que sentimos como consecuencia de 1948 y del sentimiento de injusticia que se ...

DENVER (KDVR) — Remi Cordova was just 14 years old when prosecutors say he shot and killed 32-year-old Pam Cabriales because of a minor fender bender."I can't think of another 14-year-old that we've charged or tried to charge as an adult since I've been in office," Denver District Attorney Beth McCann said.On Monday, McCann's office will try to convince a Denver judge that Cordova's crime was so horrific that the teen, now 17 years old, should be tried as an adult in the Feb. 20, 2021, shooting at Interstate 25 and Colfax Avenue.The judge has set aside four days for what's called a "reverse transfer hearing" to determine if Cordova's first-degree murder case should be transferred from juvenile to adult court."Unfortunately, he's only 14, but he's capable of killing someone in a very, you know, just cold-blooded way with no indication of remorse or concern or anything of that nature," McCann said.Pam Cabrieles (Courtesy: Alex Cabriales)Woman killed with high-powered rifleAccording to...
