of that charge?
883
00:41:44,969 --> 00:41:46,903
- Christopher gonzalez was
convicted of murdering
884
00:41:46,971 --> 00:41:49,171
Dora almontaser
and angel serbay.
885
00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:51,040
He pled guilty to both counts
886
00:41:51,109 --> 00:41:53,510
And was sentenced to 20 years
to life for each crime
887
00:41:53,578 --> 00:41:57,113
To run concurrently.
888
00:42:01,019 --> 00:42:02,452
- Christopher,
you left not one,
889
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,654
But two families destroyed.
890
00:42:04,722 --> 00:42:07,489
But believe me, I will be
angel and dora's voice.
891
00:42:07,491 --> 00:42:10,860
I will make sure I am at every
parole hearing and court date.
892
00:42:10,928 --> 00:42:12,995
Wherever you are,
I will be pleading
893
00:42:12,997 --> 00:42:14,998
That they keep you behind bars.
894
00:42:17,201 --> 00:42:21,571
- I'm so grateful to
the detectives.
895
00:42:21,639 --> 00:42:23,939
But they should have just,
like,
896
00:42:24,008 --> 00:42:26,576
Given him the death penalty.
897
00:42:28,813 --> 00:42:32,214
- How does it feel?
- It feels great.
898
00:42:32,283 --> 00:42:36,852
It's about time, you know,
he gets what he deserve.
899
00:42:36,921 --> 00:42:38,954
I'm happy with the decision
that they made.
900
00:42:39,023 --> 00:42:41,090
And my main thing was my mom.
901
00:42:41,158 --> 00:42:44,294
I was always worried, like,
oh, man, if we go to trial,
902
00:42:44,362 --> 00:42:47,163
How she's gonna take it.
903
00:42:47,231 --> 00:42:51,301
I think god did
what he had to do.
904
00:42:51,369 --> 00:42:52,502
- I said, "oh, wow."
905
00:42:52,570 --> 00:42:54,837
I said,
"oh, thank you very much."
906
00:42:54,839 --> 00:42:57,874
I'm happy he got caught.
I'm happy he got caught.
907
00:42:57,942 --> 00:43:01,911
- I never thought that
my childhood friend
908
00:43:01,980 --> 00:43:05,982
Would be murdered like this.
909
00:43:06,050 --> 00:43:08,484
- These people are
in terrible pain
910
00:43:08,553 --> 00:43:10,552
For the rest of their lives
911
00:43:10,554 --> 00:43:13,789
And that's who we work for.
912
00:43:13,858 --> 00:43:15,658
We not only work for
that dead person,
913
00:43:15,727 --> 00:43:17,793
To give that dead person
justice,
914
00:43:17,862 --> 00:43:20,262
But also the people
who are left behind
915
00:43:20,264 --> 00:43:23,365
That are still experiencing
this pain.
916
00:43:23,367 --> 00:43:25,535
- Even though it don't bring
her back to life,
917
00:43:25,603 --> 00:43:28,137
It doesn't bring her
back to life.
918
00:43:28,206 --> 00:43:30,940
But I was happy.
You know why?
919
00:43:31,009 --> 00:43:33,275
Because that way,
he won't kill nobody else.
920
00:43:33,344 --> 00:43:34,343
That's it.
921
00:43:34,412 --> 00:43:36,178
[gentle music]
922
00:43:36,247 --> 00:43:38,614
Dora was
a very friendly person.
923
00:43:38,616 --> 00:43:41,017
She was a very loving person.
924
00:43:41,085 --> 00:43:43,786
She was my daughter.
I miss her.
