Alex Nunez is a lab technician and the mister of mail order bride and his colleague Irina Cooper. He shot her abusive husband Billy in his office using Billy’s own gun because he was prepared to deport Irina out of revenge.
The trial didn’t go in the favor of the defendants, as their race and infidelity took more focus than their motives. As a result, they were pressured into a plea bargain. In exchange for airing not being deported to serve a three-year sentence for an accessory conviction, Alex plead guilty to a reduced murder charge and was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
