… I think there’s a special place in hell for Mr. Rubio,” said Cameron County prosecutor Charles Mattingly.
Rubio’s only emotion during the nearly three-week trial came during closing statements Thursday. He also was visibly upset as he was being led from the courtroom in handcuffs.
At one point during closing statements, Nat Perez, another Rubio attorney, had asked Rubio to stand up and face the jury. Rubio stood, but did not look at the jury with his reddened eyes.
“He’s a child of the Valley, too,” Perez said, referencing Cameron County District Attorney Armando Villalobos’s comment earlier in the trial that Rubio’s crime tore at the very fabric of the Rio Grande Valley.
Rubio’s defense experts testified that his childhood – filled with violence at home,”toxic” parents, drug use and prostitution – damaged him developmentally and set him on a path for failure.
