    Angel Mayora Medrano - Arizona




    Facts of the Crime:

    On January 31, 1987, Medrano was at a federal correctional halfway house in Tucson. After obtaining a weekend pass, Medrano spent the evening drinking at several nightclubs. Sometime after midnight, he drove to the home of Patricia Pedrin and parked in the driveway. Medrano knew Ms. Pedrin because he had served time in prison with her husband. Medrano honked the horn several times until Ms. Pedrin opened the door and let him in the house. Once inside, Medrano raped Ms. Pedrin and stabbed her over 20 times with a knife. Around 8:00 a.m. Ms. Pedrin's children found their mother's body lying on the floor in a pool of blood.

    Angel Medrano is no longer on death row. It looks as though he has been resentenced to life.
