Chivis Martinez for Borderland Beat
Rest in Peace Marisela..
She was one
of Mexico’s heroes, Marisela Escobedo had but one mission in life after the 2008
murder of her daughter, Rubi Marisol; to
bring her daughter’s killer to justice.
The confessed
killer was Rubi’s boyfriend and father of her baby, Sergio Rafael Barraza
Bocanegra, aka comandante Bamino or “Piwi”, all of the violent Mexican city of
Juarez.
Marisela petitioned,
marched, and kept her daughters case alive in the press. Barraza gave a written detailed confession of
his torture and murder of Rubi, and led
authorities to the burned corpse. In 2009
he went on trial in Chihuahua.
Incredibly he
was found legally innocent by a panel of three judges. In a misunderstanding of
the new American style of the administration justice- without the benefit of
training- resulted in implementation of a system whereas a conviction standard was so
great it was impossible to convict.
Absurdly, the
three judges unanimously enacted a killer his freedom.
In courtroom
footage Mareisela is seen and heard releasing all hope, grief, and the pain of
injustice as she rises from her seat in the court and completely “loses it”. Her screams are felt and impossible to
forget.
The judges
were removed from the bench and were hunted down by outraged citizens. They applied for asylum in the US.
She continued
her protest, now against impunity, and spoke of the many threats she
received. “I have threats from him and
against my family, if he is to kill me let him do so in front of the government so they can feel shame.” A prophetic statement
from the brave woman.
She accused
Ciudad Juarez of protecting Rubi’s killer because he was part of a cartel, so
they did not act.
On December
17, 2011 Marisela was murdered in front
of the Government Palace of Chihuahua on while conducting a sit-in protest
demanding justice for the murder of his daughter. She ran across the street towards the government
palace being chased by her assassin who easily caught up to her and shot her in
the head, on a busy highway, with many witnesses, and filmed on security
cameras.

Reported by Sol Zacatecas events unfolded on Friday in the municipality of Joaquin Amaro, Zacatecas that resulted in the killing of Barraza by the Mexican army. His wife of three months identified the body announced the Procurator of Justice of the State of Zacatecas Nahle Arturo Garcia. The body was in the facilities of the Forensic Medical Service (SEMEFO) where the wife identified and claimed the body.

Marisela Son speaks after his mother's killer is apprehended. He rejects the notion and blames an American for the killing and the government of Chihuahua. Below video is the narrative of his speaking in the video...

“This time
they looked for somebody that was similar to the killer. For obvious reasons I
am not going to say the name, at this time I am not going to say it. What I am
going to say right now is that the Mexican authorities know who the killer of
my mother is and they don’t want to arrest him. This man is an American citizen.”

“The only
witness of the case, my uncle Ricardo Escobedo was able to identify the killer
by photograph. All these information was given to the PGR, directly to the
Lawyer Cesar Peniche, after this, the communication from the PGR was broken,
after three months approximately the Prosecutor office appears with this man, El
Wicked, which is not the killer, but this time they looked for somebody very
similar to him. Once again we have found lies, tricks and corruption.”
“And I am
always going to say it: The government of Chihuahua authorized the death of my
mother, these people didn’t show up just like that and killed my mother; you
are talking about the spot with most surveillance of the state of Chihuahua, in
2010 of course.”
“The
Prosecutor of the State of Chihuahua is responsible, I can’t give a name, I
can’t say it was this one or that one but I know it was from the prosecutors
office of the State of Chihuahua and of the government of Chihuahua.”
(The video
repeats the first paragraph again)
“This time
they looked for somebody that was similar to the killer. For obvious reasons I
am not going to say the name, at this time I am not going to say it. What I am
going to say right now is that the Mexican authorities know who the killer of
my mother is and they don’t want to arrest him. This man is a U.S citizen.”
“There is one
true that this man said, it was half true, that the murder of my mother was an
agreement between the zetas and la linea, that is true and we have always known
that a long time ago but what he didn’t said was that it was an agreement but
it was allowed by the government of Chihuahua”.
Thanks Badanov
woot woot!
ReplyDeleteYES! It's a small victory, but a victory nonetheless! Glad to hear he finally got what he deserved! I was wondering how long it would take until this happend, and it wasnt actually all that long. I wish he couldve been tortured, dismembered or beheaded, but a good shooting will do. 2 things though-commandante bamino? was he really that high up to be called a commandante? i guess in juarez life is short, so theres always promotions happening.. And a woman really took his hand in marriage? That's astonishing.
ReplyDeleteWe already know about Marisela Escobedo but what is lacking are the circumstances of his death!
ReplyDeleteHey moron you think everyone knows the history of Marisela? Read the last paragraph what the fuck else do you need? Lets see, death photo, check
ReplyDeletelife photo, check, where killed, check, who killed, check, who identified, check, who says, check.
looks complete to me and any reasonable reader
i for sure would have gone nuts watching the judges dismiss the bastard.
ReplyDeleteGreat news,this ugly little motherfucker deserved much worse than this after what he did to her daughter.The human race is for real better without human shit like him.I don't even want to mention what this piece of shit did,suffice it to say that he indeed deserved a much worse death than he got.
ReplyDeleteFuck him,this is about"Marisela Escobedo"a Mexican woman who disgraced and showed more balls than her male counterparts.Fuck Mexican men,you should be proud to have women like her.I don't believe in heaven and god but wouldn't it be great if she was reunited with her daughter?Marisela Escobedo,what a woman,any man would be lucky to have her as his woman,she would push you on,she would drive you.
DEP RIP MARISELA ESCOBEDO AND RUBI.And the rest? Hang your heads with shame!
You're an idiot man
DeleteWell said! So sad to see Mexican people put up with many injustices. If they would just unite to overthrow that corrupt government. And those judges did not deserve to obtain asylum in the u.s.
DeleteWhat was the last thing that went through the mind of Sergio Rafael Barraza Bocanegra?
ReplyDelete7.62x51 NATO round
Coward
DeleteHe was an ugly little pussy in real life,in death?
ReplyDeleteBoy,you is uggggly,he looks like the circus gimp who bites the heads off rats.This piece of shit doesn't deserve his name mentioned with Marisela Escobedo,so he won't be mentioned by name.Put him out for the rats to eat,they gotta live to?
I just had an aunt murdered last week in Michoacan in a home invasion robbery. She was 78. Everything they do in life will eventually come back to assholes like this. DEP Madrina.
ReplyDeleteEl Chiludo
Condolences amigo. Sorry for your loss.
DeleteThen the judge applied for asylum they should get none and own up to their decisions, were is your viva la Mexico now savages.
ReplyDeleteI wrote the post as a tribute of Marisela, therefore intentionally left anything about Rubi's killer to the bare minimum, at first not even adding anything about El Wicked, but thought better of it.
ReplyDeleteThis IS Marisela's story not killer 1 or killer 2.
I will look for the courtroom footage a bit later when I have more time.
I mean no disrespect but I think this is hardly a tribute and only the story of her death and misery. I would like to read more about the good things she did if it is considered an honor to Marisela.
DeleteAnyone notice how his left ear is folded?
ReplyDeleteChivis, I don't think anyone needs to see her anguish from the courtroom. Especially on a day when we show how thankful we are for what we have. Anyone with a heart could know her anguish by the story alone. Glad to see Karma doing its job. One down, many many many more to go. Karma is a bitch and it will eventually even the score. Always does.
ReplyDeleteLegalize drugs, and cut the head of the Dragon and its associates. The impunity is absolutely absurd, and many laws need to change. Reform the jails, drug test all cops, mount cameras on all squad cars, and GPS. Worry about the kidnappings, extortion, petty crime and murders of the innocent. Those judges are corrupt, and deserve to be shot for backing Los Zetas and a murderer. The cartels try to be tough, instead of cleaning their trash ASAP.. they protected that rat and know the world understands yhe deep corruption. All the sold out politicians, empresarios and money launderers of the cartels deserve to be shot like the trash they are.
ReplyDeleteWow, Zetapuke-orejona looked even skinnier than before. No more Maruchan for their Thanksgiving bonuses?
ReplyDeleteDEP Marisela. I'm looking forward to the day when they put you and Maria Gorrostieta Salazar's faces on the money as you BOTH are national heroes.
DCDQ (Descansa como Dios quiere) Zetapuke-orejona. Your faith is up to God now.
burn in hell you, and all pieces of shit, like you.
ReplyDelete12:40 what u mean fuck mexican man? u talking like u would of done something jst like u are now typing behind a computer and talking shit.its ez to talk when ur not in the situation.but whatever thers alot like you.
ReplyDeletebut the lady mis respetos thats how far a mother's love well go.senoral le arrebataron a su hija y le arebataron su vida pero no su dignidad DESCANSEN EN PAZ
Yes Fuck Mexican men. Letting other men rape and kill your females. The road to destruction for your whole nation is lined with the bodies of the innocents real men would fight and die for.Yes I said fight and die for.You would rather they die than you. Hang your heads in shame men in Mexico. Continue to take the silver while your women take the lead.I pray for your nation that one man will rise up and lead the millions of you that outnumber the criminals strength is in your numbers real men of Mexico.Rise up and rid the country of the demons who prey on you. Become the hunter not the hunted. You will have the backing of the whole world. The wieght of righteousness will rest on your shoulders the strength of honor will fill your body. Many of you will die but the freedom of your women ,children and elderly will be worth more than all the gold and silver of every cartel boss,politician and Carlos Slims combined.
DeleteWhen is the last time you risked dying for an honorable cause you believe in? You are neither man or woman or entity. You are damned if you think gender has anything to do with this. There are women sicarios out there too just as well as female, corrupt officials. This shit happens but what on Earth are you going to do about it? Read another article and tell us how all men are sick
DeleteI don't condone violence but I'm glad this little fucker got what he deserved.
ReplyDeleteI just added a video and translated the narrative of Mariselas son in the video. This was response to the apprehension of el wicked as his mothers killer. He says no. I believe him.
ReplyDelete4:42 this is a Mexican drug war blog, painful posts with photos are posted and as far as I know do not break for your holiday. Don't be an insensitive idiot. Myself I am thankful that the killer of Rubi is dead and rotting in hell. It made my day and the photo of Marisela is a must in any tribute to her.
ReplyDeletefool
Wrong guy. Eye witness testimony is many times false id. Oh well whats one more death in mexico. Im sure he did something wrong in his lifetime to deserve death.
ReplyDeleteHer breakdown in court video is heart wrenching
ReplyDelete@1:13pm do you know who was responsible?
ReplyDelete...as my pastor, marine teacher, would say--COWARDS DIE A THOUSAND DEATHS---but
ReplyDelete...a true hero's legacy of "RIGHTNESS INDIGNATION" IN THE FACE OF DEATH LIVES ON AS A REMINDER TO US TO LIVE A LIFE OF HONOR, INTREGITY, AND TO STAND FOR WHAT' IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO IN THESE WORLD...
....THESE WORLD IS IN SEVERE NEED OF GOOD EXAMPLES TO LIVE BY, AND MANY WOMEN FROM MEXICO HAVE BOLDLY STOOD--AND FOR THAT WE CAN CALL THEM "HEROS"'
Glad he's dead. Scum was not worth the air he breathed.
ReplyDeleteIm fkn disgusted in this,my heart goes out to this poor lady.
ReplyDeletewhat comes around, goes around
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why americans are so upset with mexican drug cartels. What would the greatest druggie nation in the world do without them????
ReplyDeleteYou sound like druggie yourself bro
DeleteSe Lo Llevo La Vena, Por P*ndejo
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to know he got killed.
ReplyDeleteI never get over the dumb look on the judge's face when Marisela reacts after the verdict is read. It's like she's surprised that the mother would be upset.
ReplyDeleteWow Mexico is officially the most screwed up, satan controlled country on the planet !!! How can this scrawny, ugly, stupid kid can kill with impunity ? Mexico = failed state
ReplyDeleteWow happy for the son that his mothers killer is dead. This guy reminds me of that squirrel looking freak that was smiling and his bobbing head when presented. There was so much cover up with this case and I did not know the judges were removed from the bench. @4:42 telling chivas no one needs to know her anguish in the courtroom, what in the actual fuck are you talking about. Sorry it is so uncomfortable to see a mothers heartbreak and if you don't like what chivas writes keep it moving. You say especially on a day like thanksgiving, oh please get your head out of your ass and go back to reading the enquirer, sorry that people are killed and tortured everyday in Mexico and the news is reported on a holiday and you can't handle it?? Lame remarks like yours add no value other than to stir the pot. Are reporters only to write lollipops and unicorns on holidays? Your reality is sad. Grow up and make a difference instead of whining. Thank you chivas for your excellent reporting.
ReplyDeleteCan't handle violence? You don't get it do you? Why do you read about this if it is not an attempt to satisfy your vulgar appetite? How can you act like you give a damn when all you do is read? That is not justice and Marisela would be ashamed of your lame attempt to "defend her" on a web page article about her misery. Wipe your mouth before you insult another person. That other comment was way more respectful than yours. How can you believe that reading about violence and misery justifies it all? Yeah, these kinds of tragedies and accounts of corruption exist but what is it to you, reader? So, you pay some damn respect to all people before you spread hate over the Internet. Think about your actions and act your fucking age
DeleteNovember 22, 2012 6:35 PM .
ReplyDeleteWell dude from your response we all know what you would do,don't we?Hasn't he got a point?
If all humans would practice integrity, the world wouldn't be the way it is right now. Satan has control over humanity still and here are the results.
ReplyDeleteGod help us all! :-(
"I don't understand why americans are so upset with mexican drug cartels. What would the greatest druggie nation in the world do without them"
ReplyDeleteFuck off loser,look at the storyline you whining little bitch,this is about Mexican justice you fuckin fool.This is about justice for a mother and a woman with more balls than a bitch like you whining about the US again.You that stupid your little mind can grasp it.MARISELA ESCOBEDO the story is about her and this disgraceful miscarriage of justice in Mexico.
@ November 23, 2012 5:12 AM
ReplyDeletePeople like you are no good for Mexico.
Try and concentrate.
Absolute national disgrace.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine there were a lot of people who were happy she was silenced,judicial disgrace.
@9:23pm um really? fuck Mexican men? So now we are lumping all Mexican men into one category? If you take the cotton out of your ears and put it in your mouth you would see NUMEROUS WOMEN being presented and connected with the cartels. You sound like one of Jesse Ventura's students and probably dress up like a cop patrolling the border seeking to defend the country. get real. What a racist backward view of Mexican men. Was there not some video circulating of a woman sawing off someone's head, get your facts straight before you start your armchair politics, it's not a good look and for the record I am not a Mexican nor am I a man. Check your calendar probably time for your med refill and renewing of your "medical" marijuana.
ReplyDeleteEnough with the back and forth bullshit can we please focus on the where these judges are hiding in the U.S....somebody has to know where they are. Let's find out...if anyone knows where they are please post the information.
ReplyDeleteSocialists in Mexico are more concerned with the "civil rights" of criminals than they are with justice for the victims.
ReplyDeleteUntil they put the victim first and REALLY punish criminals there will only be more death.
How many more Mexicans will have to die???
I hate Mexico and i am Mexican.. The corruption and lack of any institutional controls keeps this nation as a third world country as it should e.
ReplyDeleteGOOD. That piece of shit is finally erased from existence. He was a filthy rat, not a human being. Case Closed.
ReplyDelete(AJ)
"Fuck mexican men" is way to broad of a statement, and that is why you got shit for saying it. No matter what you say after that point will make it any better. Now, if you said "fuck the spinless men in mexico that won't stand up for themselves or others" that would be a lot better. But now you just look ignorant. There are plenty of mexican men who stood up, you just don't hear about them because most are now dead. That's how it works. You speak out, and stand up, you die. This woman does have more guts than most of the men, I whole-heartedly agree, and she is a god send, and one hell of a woman/mother. But stop with the ignorant statements. Think before you type please. But my guess is 10-1 you wouldn't say a damn thing, make any kind of attempt to seek justice in such a noticeable (sp) way, for fear of your beloved family members getting the retribution of your actions. I know I would have a hard time doing it. If it was myself that would be harmed/tourtered/killed, and only myself, then yes. But when you cant say definitively that you will be the only one who suffers, those huge balls of yours suck right back up into your intestines. God bless this woman and her daughter, and I hope her son and whatever family is left can sucessfully seek, and get, asylum in the U.S. and somewhere far away from the border. But hell, I've seen a migrant who was shot in the neck, head, and chest try for asylum and never got it. Actually, I havent heard from him since he was rejected. Maybe they came back and finished the job. Amazing how life is so priceless to most, but yet so worthless to others.R.I.P. to all those souls who have been lost, especially the brave who tried to make a difference. The world, and especially MX could use a lot more.
ReplyDeleteI guess this is good. Yeah, its good. Most of the main players both good and bad are dead or running. The pictures are something, wow, the second one down is the poster boy for our future. A lead pipe pillow and dead eyed grin. Everyday is a rerun. RIP Marisela.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting that women seem to be at the forefront of the social/political action in Mexico against corruption/violence. Most likely because they are mothers and feel a more maternal connection to those lost. Furthermore it does appear that men are more "corruptible" and willing to commit crime than women....maybe women are smarter and we are just a bunch of dogs running around the planet causing problems....
ReplyDeleteJesus could Marisela's son not wore something a little bit better for a speech with the press than a fucking batman shirt!!?
ReplyDelete@ 2:11 am He's poor with no money you dumb idiot. He wore what he had.
ReplyDeleteI know the poor girl is dead but she was stupid enough to date a known cartel animal. Because of here stupid decision making skills her whole family has been murdered and destroyed. She introduced this filth into all their lives and it destroyed them. This should be a lesson to other dumb little girls who think dating a cartel member is cool.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder I left Mexico 27 years ago, the goverment is full of shit, I mean come on!!!! This bastard confessed and he is still exonerated from his murder!!! Wtf?!?! Well at least this scumbag got what he deserved. Rip
ReplyDeleteNovember 23, 2012 8:45 PM
ReplyDelete"maybe women are smarter and we are just a bunch of dogs running around the planet causing problems"
Brother you fuckin get it!Thats why i couldn't give a fuck how many of us fuckers get killed as long as women are left alone.Of course there are aberrations,but its us dudes who cause cain,and i know it for a fact.Its our nature,its infectious.Maybe women would sort shit out?Anyway,women are our saving grace,our gift,enough said.
November 23, 2012 10:06 AM
ReplyDelete"So now we are lumping all Mexican men into one category"
We only have your word that your a"woman"
Maybe you that ugly that you shirk sunlight and love all the shadows?Have you got any teeth?
Did you know they can fix that?And the fat on your arms,they can suction that away.
Dont despair,not yet anyway,get on a treadmill?

And bleeding heart? Nah. Not in the least actually. But assumptions are fun to make, I understand. And lies? Wrong again. I have facts that back up anything I say. And btw- I'm a 23 yr old rancher who lives in PR, and I perfer cigs.
