Marcelino Lopez was inappropriately represented by his  Attorney Craig Cascarano and Judge Perkkio should have dismissed herself from the case believing that she knew the family from the West  Side. And had the attorney conned Marcelino into having the trial heard in front of her.  You never tried a murder trial without a jury,  but Marcelino Lopez didn't know that,  he was only 19 at the time and never been in trouble a day in his life,  may be a driving offence but that's it. His attorney would not subpoena anyone Marcelino wanted for defense and witnesses for Marcelino. The attorney allowed stuff to be said agaisnt Marcelino by ex girlfriend that set the whole thing up and she had no proof of anything she said,  but Marcelino 's attorney never disputed it. He was misled by his attorney and his attorney took his 25,000 and threw the black boy,  which is Puerto Rican, German,  French, Italian,  Spanish. What they say Hinez 57. But looks black so Dakota county threw him under the bus just to solve the case.  3 of the state's witnesses lied.  But Marcelino attorney allowed it. We need a new trial he does not deserve Life without parole,  his first offense in his life.
