I Can't Believe I Missed This

Laurie Reyes was killed in Marshalltown last week by Pedro Perez. I knew Laurie from prosecuting Jorge Reyes-Sanchez for Aggravated Domestic Assault against her in 1997, and Child Endangerment for an incident involving her in 1999. In looking up her alleged killer, Pedro Perez, on Iowa Courts online, I find this:

Title: STATE OF IA VS PEREZ-FUERTE,PEDRO
Case: 02641 AGCR057998 (MARSHALL)
Defendant: PEREZ FUERTE, PEDRO
Count 01 Charge
Charge: 708.2A(2)(C) Description: DOMESTIC ABUSE ASSAULT W/INTENT OR DISPLAYS A WEAPON (AGMS)
Offense Date: 04/02/2003
Charge: 708.2A(2)(B) Description: DOMESTIC ABUSE ASSAULT WITHOUT INTENT CAUSING INJURY (SRMS)
GUILTY Adj.Date: 02/14/2005

It's a little convoluted, but it looks like he pled to an amended charge and got 30 days and a fine.

Rest in peace, Laurie. I'm sorry things never got better.
