In a statement, attorney Shawn Nolan, a member of Sepulvado’s legal team, called his client’s death a “sad comment” on Louisiana’s decision to bring back the death penalty.
“Give me a little time,” Christopher Sepulvado’s ex, who also served time for her son’s murder, told The Independent.
He was convicted of murdering his six-year-old stepson in 1992] Sepulvado, who admitted to hitting Wesley but insisted he had fallen into the water by accident, was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death.
A terminally ill Louisiana man on death row for brutally murdering his six-year-old stepson in 1992 died Saturday of “natural causes,” three weeks before his scheduled execution date.
Sepulvado, who was 69 at the time of the murder, was “deeply remorseful and has turned to God as he struggles to atone for his crimes,” the letter said.
