Jorge Guerrero, who stands accused of killing 9-year-old Diana Alvarez, failed to reach a plea deal. Guerrero’s attorney said they don’t see one happening in the near future, though he was granted a continuance in negotiating for a plea deal. There will be another pre-trial hearing Thursday, March 14, at 8:30 a.m. Guerrero is already serving a 40-year sentence in federal prison for having pornographic photos of Alvarez on his cell phone. On Feb. 20, the judge in Guerrero’s case ruled not to allow statements that he made during his interrogations following his arrest in 2016 for his upcoming death penalty trial. The ruling was made because Guerrero did not understand his Miranda rights during his interrogations because of a language barrier. Diana’s mom, Rita Hernandez, says she feels powerless. “It’s in their hands. I’m not anyone. I can’t make that decision, but I am the person who lost their daughter, and I will carry that pain with me wherever I go. That pain will always be with me. I will never forget my daughter. Nobody will. Losing a child without answers is the worst pain you could ever experience in life,” she said. “There will never be another Diana in my home. There will never be another Diana to tell me, ‘Mom, I’m home.’ Never again,” Hernandez said. Guerrero was in prison when law enforcement uncovered her remains in Yeehaw Junction, serving 40 years for creating and possessing child porn on his phone, porn featuring Diana. Her mother calls a possible plea bargain insulting. It was noted during the ruling that Guerrero said he wanted to stop speaking several times throughout the interrogation process. A plea would mean that the death penalty could no longer be an option for Guerrero, which upset Alvarez’s family. They’re wondering why he is receiving another chance at life while Diana’s has been cut short.
