Attorney Robert McCabe said during closing arguments, Nuñez, waited until the house was almost empty before the girl to the secluded part of the court.
"He raped her and he killed her and he mutilated her body, and he did not give a damn," said McCabe.
He said Nuñez typically a lighter and pocket knives, which was said to several witnesses. And Nunez was the only one in the house, and smoked a cigarette lighter would have on him, "said McCabe.
Dr. Leisha Wood, a Travis County Deputy Medical Examiner, testified that Cecilia was sexually abused before her death. The autopsy revealed that Cecilia five fifty-six slashes on her neck, probably caused by a sharp instrument, as had a knife, she said.
Wood ruled out electrocution as an option, since none of the usual signs were present for such a death. DNA collected from wood Cecilia's body revealed that sperm were determined Nuñez's.
Nuñez is a child killer. There is nothing worse. This is a crime of a predator. It is a crime of a coward, and it is a crime of a monster, "said McCabe.
