Retrial Begins in Sierra LaMar Murder Case in San Jose
Original: Sierra LaMar: Retrial for Antolin Garcia-Torres, convicted in 2012 murder of teen, begins in San Jose after conviction overturned
The retrial of Antolin Garcia-Torres, convicted of the 2012 murder of California teenager Sierra LaMar, has begun in San Jose after his earlier conviction was overturned. Garcia-Torres was found guilty in 2016 of killing the 15-year-old, who disappeared near her Morgan Hill home. The new trial renews attention on a case that gripped the Bay Area for years and raised questions about the evidence that led to the original conviction.
Why now: The long-awaited retrial follows a high-profile overturned conviction in a case that has drawn sustained public attention for over a decade.
