VISALIA, Calif.

A man who says he was a cartel enforcer pleaded guilty Tuesday to nine counts of murder in California.

Jose Manuel Martinez will be sentenced next month to life in prison without the possibility of parole under the terms of a plea deal.

He also pleaded guilty to one count of attempted murder of a 17-year-old.

After being arrested in 2013, the 53-year-old Martinez opened up to investigators about his violent career with more than 30 killings.

You would think this would put him first in line for the death penality, but no, this is California.

Hell, in California he'll be given automatic citizenship and will be elected to the state legislature.

Jeb says he "did it for love". More fodder for Trump. LOL

0banga doesn't care if he lets in all these murderers, just so long as they vote someone in the White House who'll keep all of his (0banga's) crimes COVERED UP.

Wasn’t some state talking about giving prisoners the right to vote?

It’s reassuring that “life without parole” in California means about five or six years of actual prison time before the parole hearings begin in earnest.
