Jocelyn Nungaray, 12, fought back with her dying breaths
[NYPOST] Little Jocelyn Nungaray fought back against her attackers after she was lured under a Houston bridge and assaulted for two hours — leaving scratch and bite marks on one of the illegal migrants colonists who is accused of killing her, prosecutors revealed Tuesday.

Johan Jose Rangel Martinez, 21, still had the marks Jocelyn left on him when he was arrested, Assistant District Attorney Megan Long said in a Harris County court.

Rangel Martinez’s alleged accomplice, Franklin Jose Pena Ramos, 26, told cops he tried to convince Rangel Martinez to stop but he allegedly refused and climbed on top of the girl and strangled her, according to Long.

However,
today is that tomorrow you were thinking about yesterday...
Rangel Martinez allegedly responded that he had to "finish what he started" as he covered her mouth, Long said.

The chilling details came as a judge set a $10 million bail for Rangel Martinez and labeled him a likely flight risk.

Prosecutors said he shaved his beard in an attempt to alter his appearance after the horrific attack.

Jocelyn’s family, including her mother, Alexis, was in court for the appearance. One family member was later escorted out of the courtroom after yelling at Rangel Martinez through tears.

Long said Rangel Martinez — a father of two whose family is not in Texas — admitted to tying the little girl up and throwing her body in a bayou, but claimed he did not kill her.

His court appearance follows the bond hearing for Pena Ramos, who entered the country just a month before Jocelyn’s murder.

#4 TX is a capital punishment state, but it still comes down to:

1) Soros DA?
2) Can premeditation be proved?
3) Jury nullification?
4) Appeals
5) DoJ / liberal federal judge interference?

#5 IIUC the evidence of sexual assault (they're running lab tests right now) makes it eligible for the Death Penalty. Even a Soros DA can read the tea leaves right now.

#6 Florida added death penalty for child rape - murder not necessary. It remains to be seen if SCROTUS will allow it to stand when a case gets there. That's years away.
