(Since I don’t want to subject readers to the killer’s ugly mug, above is the picture of the victim, Serenity Jade Reedy.)
An autopsy showed Serenity had at least two skull fractures, hemorrhaging around her eyes and a cut to her vaginal area, according to court documents. Miller said a key part of his case was two medical experts who determined and were willing to testify the cut was an indication that Serenity was sexually abused…Aguilar fled the house hours before Serenity was found dead. He reportedly stole cash and a car from his former girlfriend and headed to California. Prosecutors believe Aguilar was headed to Mexico.
Prosecutors are asking for a sentence of 40 years, which is above the standard range for Aguilar’s crimes. Aguilar could spend the rest of his life in prison if a parole board decides he is a threat to the community.
Yes, you read that last paragraph correctly. Most child rapists and murderers serve less time in prison. A parole board might deem Aguilar “a threat to the community.” When it comes to a two-time sex offender and murderer, how is that up for debate?
