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.”
