Angel-faced Paula Guiterrez was 15 when she met 14-year-old Nestor (Chino) DeJesus on a subway platform in New York City. Almost immediately they began a torrid affair fueled by sex and marijuana. But while Chino charmed Paula's parents, behind closed doors he was a sadistic control freak who forced Paula into submission and beat her when she tried to escape. Moving to Tampa, Florida, the couple found themselves penniless and hungry with a two-year-old daughter to feed. The only thing going for them was a semiautomatic Mac 11 pistol and a reckless plan. On the morning of July 6, 2001, the sordid saga of Paula and Chino finally reached its inevitable violent end. Hats and bandannas over their faces, the desperate duo rished into a bank with their gun raised and walked out with $10,000. Believing they'd made a clean getaway, within the hour they found themselves in a tense standoff with two SWAT teams - one dead cop in the street. The only way out was suicide. Pointing guns at themselves, Chino began counting to three. . . but only one would die.
I'm not sure whether or not I believe the girl was responsible. some people do strange things for love or when your terrified. Fear will do a number on you! I think she should have to do jail time but I don't think she should have been convicted of murder.
