Mabel, Yazmin,
I can't believe your behavior. I would say more but I'm afraid it wouldn't get published. Just so I know I got the story strait, Olmedo killed someone right? I mean he took a knife and pushed it into the victim's (Medrano's) neck right? Yazmin how exactly do you expect this all to just go away? Write your friend a letter tell him how you feel in private. Do not deminish what he did in such a public form. He's a killer! I don't want him living next to me I think he is exactly where he needs to be.
