Deborah Roberts

He was convicted of first degree murder in 2016.

Jury didn't seem to be too conflicted about that.

But during the trial, they were shown some pretty disturbing images of the crime scene and all of that.

That's sometimes a tactic by prosecutors sometimes.

to really drive home how intense this case was.

And in this case, it seemed to work.

And as you said, the DNA under her fingernails.

I mean, it's sort of hard to argue with that.

Well, these are two young people.

I mean, obviously just so tragic for her death, but also just sort of tragic.

This young guy would resort to something like this.

Rosa Roman was convicted.

He was 20 years old, though, at the time of the murder.

So...

it looks like he could potentially be eligible for parole in 2028.

We don't know for sure that he'll be paroled, but to be eligible, but he was 20 at the time.

have thoughts about that?

Because it is a very interesting concept when you think about the brain and you think about a 20-year-old.

I've got 20-plus-year-old grown children in my life.

Do you have any thoughts about that?
