He should NOT be charged with murder can you imagine how he felt after that guy stabbed his mom? He should be able to take revenge for his mom. I would’ve done the same thing. Especially within 24 hrs. He wasn’t even thinking clearly he just had rage. Obviously he loved his mom.. let him out to mourn and grieve
I so agree
Michelle Luna was my very best friend…we literally lived 1 block from each other and we even worked together and rode to work and back together!! My friend deserves justice!! Raul disposed of part of scum of the earth!!! Unfortunately and sadly Michelle’s life was taken and the state of idaho failed!! He was supposed to be serving a 23 year sentence for rape and other dangerous heinous crimes in which he was let out of prison for!!!! REST IN PEACE MICHELLE LUNA LOVE VICKIE
Thank you for sharing words on Ms. Luna. I am looking to do a story on her if you, or others, are interested in sharing stories. I am also researching Urrutia and his criminal history.
