Guevaras plea closes the door on a very, very sad, emotional case when you have the death of a mother and a 5-year-old and, of course, a baby found in a dumpster, Kleine said. Its just hard to imagine that somebody would do that to somebody else, let alone a child.
Guevaras defense has said that she suffers from possible battered-partner syndrome at the hands of Martinez-Marinero and post-traumatic stress disorder from a previous crime. As a 13- or 14-year-old in Mexico, she says, she was the victim of a kidnapping by a boyfriend who wanted to force her into the sex trade. Mexican police did nothing, the family said, so the family fled to the United States.

Guevara told police she couldnt believe what was happening and didnt know that Martinez-Marinero would throw Josue into the river until he ripped him out of his car seat.
