Esteban Nuñez letter to Judge Robert O’Neill
In a deal with prosecutors, Esteban Nuñez pleaded guilty to assault with a deadly weapon in the nonfatal stabbings of two men. The plea agreement was reached shortly before he was scheduled to go on trial, accused of murder in the stabbing death of Luis Santos, 22. Shortly before Nuñez was sentenced, he wrote this letter to Judge Robert O’Neill expressing confidence in O’Neill’s “fairness” and saying he still had “hope the truth will be seen and heard.”
