Deny the Freedom of Yolanda Saldivar


Deny the Freedom of Yolanda Saldivar
The Issue
Yolanda Saldivar, the convicted murderer of Tejano pop star Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, was sentenced to life in prison in 1995 for her crimes. We, as a community, are calling on the Justice Department to firmly deny any form of parole that could potentially free Yolanda Saldivar. As stated by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Saldivar will become eligible for parole in 2025 but that day passed but we should make sure she rots because of her crime [source: Texas Department of Criminal Justice]. This causes deep concern for those who believe justice was served in this case and who want this ruling to be upheld. The worst thing about her is that she says that she did not kill her meanwhile, there were eyewitnesses. Sign this petition to uphold justice by ensuring Yolanda Saldivar remains imprisoned for her crime.
