THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT

Sacrificial Soul Sellers


17-year-old murder suspect Jose Reyes, 15-year-old murder victim Corianne Cervantes

Jose had sold his soul to the devil and he wanted his 16-year-old unnamed friend to do the the same.

So, the two boys got their younger school mate, Corianne, into a vacant Houston, Tx apartment and tortured and murdered her.

A neighbor found the girl dead in the apartment a couple of days after she went messing. Beside her body were what prosecutors call "religious cult items". An upside down crucifix was carved on her stomach. She had been beaten with an ashtray and a toilet seat and sexually assaulted.

UPDATE -- TRIAL BEGINS

Corianne died a brutal death at the hands of her friends. I hope both of the boys are locked up for good (assuming they're guilty, which looks to be a very safe bet).

Snip:
Opening statements began in the trial of 18-year-old Jose E. Reyes, who prosecutors say is responsible for the February death of 15-year-old Corriann Cervantes in a vacant apartment southeast of Houston.

A 16-year-old boy also is charged with capital murder and is expected to stand trial later.

Reyes, who was 17 at the time of the crime, faces a life sentence if convicted of capital murder but would be eligible for parole after 40 years, according to the Houston Chronicle. If he's convicted of murder, the jury would determine his punishment.

Prosecutors contend the two teens were hoping to make a deal with the devil when they disfigured the girl's body, including carving an upside down crucifix on her stomach.

"Whether or not the devil was involved, what happened in that apartment was sadistic and inhumane," Harris County Assistant District Attorney John Jordan told jurors. "He said he had no regrets."

Jordan told jurors Cervantes and the alleged assailants, who attended school together, went to the apartment to have sex after a late night of alcohol and marijuana use at a friend's apartment. He said the scene descended from consensual sex to a brutal beating with the heavy porcelain lid of a toilet tank.

"There were pieces of porcelain embedded in her face," Jordan said. He said the teens used a screwdriver to stab Cervantes in the face and torso dozens of times.

Defense attorney Jerald Graber told the newspaper the defense team would "zealously represent" Reyes.
