Sentence expected Monday for the woman who helped dispose of Vanessa Guillén's body texasnews
During the sentencing hearing Monday, federal prosecutors called three witnesses before the lunch recess, a Texas Ranger, a deputy U.S. Marshal, and an expert from the University of North Texas Center for Human Forensics and Anthropology, the team that examined and interpreted Guillen’s remains.
There was an emotional response in the courtroom from Guillen's family as federal prosecutors interviewed witnesses who described what was done to Guillen’s body following her murder. Aguilar’s attorneys told the judge she had prepared a written statement and they were expected to share that in the afternoon.Guillén’s death and claims by her family that she was harassed and assaulted at the Texas base sparked a social media movement of former and active service members who came forward about their own experiences using the hashtag #IAmVaessaGuillen.
State and federal lawmakers passed legislation in 2021 honoring Guillén which removed some authority from commanders and gave survivors more options to report.
