IN v Rios - Victims: His wife and 3 children
Allen County, Indiana prosecutors today filed papers that will allow Simon Rios to plead guilty to murdering his wife and children in exchange for life in prison.
Simon Rios already struck a plea deal with Delaware County prosecutors earlier this year sparing him the death penalty for the rape and murder of 10-year-old Alejandra Gutierrez in December 2005. Part of the reason Delaware County agreed to the plea deal was because the Gutierrez family did not want to have to go through the pain of the trial. The other reason was that Delaware County prosecutors were under the impression that Allen County was going to seek the death penalty.
Sentencing for Alejandra’s murder is set for November 8, 2007. No date was provided for a sentencing date for the case against Simon Rios for the slaughter of his family.
