At 12:08 hours of Thursday 30th of April, Victoriano Medina was released early from a 27 year sentence in CEFERESO "El Hongo", for the killing of Journalist Hector Felix Miranda, Co-director and founder of Zeta Magazine.

Medina who left prison dressed in prison uniform, affirms to be innocent of the crime committed against "El Gato", in which he always had the support of his boss Jorge Hank Rohn.


Update tomorrow.



For the Spanish speakers there is short press conference with Victoriano Medina outside "El Hongo".
Quality is not so good, due to wind noise.

  2. Just another day in Mexico
    Sad to say say but true.
    There can never be hope until the government is behind bars and men like the great D.r. Mireles is set free.

  5. J-H Rohn is THE true crime boss. He is the invisible spider in the web that pulls all the strings and collects on EVERY deal in TJ and northern Baja. Blowing up his race track one day when it is full with him and all the scum paying him would be a major service o everybody in the region.

  7. I question the article "Killer is set free" ?? Why Free ? Both men spent 25 and Victoriano 27 years of their life behind bars. Not a pretty place old Mesa Prison and Super Max Puente Grande. Regardless both were tried and sentence by a court and did their time. Now are old men; So walking free is an incorrect term!
