Josue Flores murder: Judge sentences Andre Jackson to life in prison for stabbing 11-year-old boy to death in 2016 - ABC13 Houston
[...]
Before learning his sentence, Jackson, who was convicted just the day before, remained defiant of the guilty verdict from a jury of his peers.
"I worked very hard in my life. I will always have self-respect and defend my character," Jackson read from a lengthy, prepared statement.
In his presentation, he insisted that prison "is not where I belong," and that his DNA was not on the clothing worn on that day.
He then talked about Josue and the doubt of whether he was indeed the killer.
"I can't say much to Josue and his family. At this point, they have a guilty verdict. I'm not sure if they believe they have the right guy," Jackson said before invoking race. "This is about Black men in America."

The state's last witness was Josue's best friend, Angel Nario, who was likely the last person to see him alive. He recalled leaving school with Josue the day he was killed, later parting ways with a handshake and a hug.
"To this day, I have not had a best friend like Josue," Nario said, adding that both he and Josue should be graduating high school together this month.
