SECOND INDICTMENT
HANDED DOWN IN MULTIPLE MURDER
A Denver Grand Jury
has returned an 11-count indictment against the second defendant
in the murders of four people last August.
Michael Sandoval
(DOB: 8-23-79) is charged by indictment with four counts of
first-degree felony murder (F1), one count each of
attempted first-degree murder (F2) and first-degree
assault (F3), two counts of aggravated robbery (F3),
and one count each of attempted robbery (F5),
conspiracy to commit robbery (F5), and crime of violence.
Sandoval had been
charged earlier through the Complaint and Information process
with six charges: four counts of first-degree murder, attempted
aggravated robbery and conspiracy to commit aggravated robbery.
The
investigation into the murders of Rose Amador, Blanca
Dueñas-Balbuena, Sally Mendoza and Bob Pacheco has continued as
a Grand Jury investigation. The charges pending in County Court
will be dismissed later this week and Sandoval will be advised
of the new charges when he appears in Denver District Courtroom
8 on Friday, December 19, 2003 at 8:30 a.m.
Sandoval's father
and co-defendant, Edward Herrera, is scheduled for his next
court date on January 16, 2004 for a motions hearing.
