And with that, my 5th most wanted post-AMW fugitive of '013 is off the streets, another vacancy is left on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted, and hopefully they can lock up that sex killer and throw away the key! On the side, the FBI's Ten Most Wanted doesn't seem nearly as saturated with sex killers anymore!

Does anyone else find it surprising that considering CNN is airing The Hunt now, the home news page doesn't have a story about Guevara's capture yet? (Unless they'll add it tomorrow).

Not entirely surprised. Usually FBI Top Captures make the news. Not trying to take anything away from how serious and terrible a crime this was, but it is also nowhere near as high publicity as the other top 10 cases, so perhaps that's also why. If it were Jason Derek Brown it might make front page news. If it was as a result of The Hunt (which is of course impossible since it wasn't a Hunt case), then it would have DEFINITELY made the front page.

www.watchfox29.com/content/newsexpress/story/Prosecuting-Illegal-Immigrants/-EYUQvvtKkSxhz7lStfA2w.cspxAccording to the above article, Guevara actually surrendered in LATE 2013! They're just now informing us that he was captured since he was successfully extradited. Authorities also addressed any illegal immigrant like Guevara who commits a serious crime in the US and then goes on the run, that the world is a much smaller place than it was 30-years ago. Authorities also said Guevara is an example as to why they are so proactive in checking worker status.

That reminds me of how AMW didn't mention the fact Jamie Edwards had been captured until 2003, when he was actually captured during the summer of 2001. I guess better safe than sorry though, because it would look foolish if they mentioned he was caught but not extradited and then the extradition process ended without him being returned.

More former AMW fugitive- and this case- former FBI Top 10 fugitive trial news- Jose Guevara has been found guilty of second-degree murder and will spend the rest of his life in prison. One thing I learned about Louisiana only because of the trial of Errol and Tonya Victor is it works a bit differently from other states. The only difference between 1st and 2nd degree murder is 1st carries the death penalty- and 2nd does not. It's not about premeditation or anything of the like in any sorts. Other states 2nd degree may not mean the same. I've seen a couple of New Orleans cases on The First 48 where the suspect is captured and charged with second-degree murder and internet commenters will say "That's premeditated! How can it not be 1st degree!" Well that's your answer- just means it's not a death penalty case. Can't blame them for thinking otherwise. I thought the same thing until the Victors. And of course in this case life was the only option or Mexico would have never agreed to send Guevara back. www.kplctv.com/story/27962894/garcia-guevara-found-guilty-in-2008-rape-death-of-lake-charles-woman

In Iowa, there's just one difference between first- and second-degree murder. In first-degree murder, prosecutors need to prove that the defendant had "specific intent" to kill. Second-degree murder doesn't have that requirement.
Since Iowa doesn't have the death penalty, first-degree murder is an automatic life sentence. Second-degree murder is a 50-year prison sentence with a mandatory minimum of 35 years.
