Sentenced: Jesus Campos Jr, 18, recorded his gf, 15 begging for her life as he raped & strangled her to death

A teen who raped and murdered his 15-year-old girlfriend in Texas has been sentenced to life in prison.

The jury took less than an hour on Wednesday to convict Jesus Campos Jr., 18, of South Houston, Texas, of the murder of Karen Perez, which carries the automatic sentence of life in prison with parole possible in 40 years.

'I've tried several capital murder cases,' Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Meriwether said in a statement. 'But the recording of Karen being raped, and pleading for her life before she was so viciously murdered, will stay with me for the rest of my life.'

The police had found video with a black screen on Campos Jr.'s cell phone where the last moments of Perez's were were audibly recorded, KTRK reported.

During the trial, jurors listened to the victim crying and begging him not to kill her: 'I don't want to die, Jesus.'

Campos Jr. also had shared a graphic image of Perez's lifeless body with other teens who refused to turn him with one of them texting 'bros before hoes,' according to the Harris County District Attorney's office.

Campos Jr. initially denied knowing what happened to his girlfriend after she disappeared on May 27, 2016, but a tip eventually led to discovery of the body.

Perez body was later found under a kitchen sink inside an abandoned unit in a Houston, Texas, apartment

Bros before hoes must mean a free pass for killing women

I’m disappointed he didn’t get the DP, but at least the best years of his life will be spent rotting in prison.

What a beautiful girl she was.
I really hope his time in prison is full of the worst human suffering imaginable. Then to top it all off may he die behind bars

I'm also surprised the death penalty wasn't on the table. Texas isn't usually too hesitant to use it. I'm a total supporter of the death penalty bit with rather specific criteria that would omit many of Texas death row population. This case, however, really appears to have a prime example of the type of person who is not capable of living in society, so I'd include him on my death row list for sure.

This girl was unspeakably violated & I am heartbroken for her. He planned her murder & was a monster who made sure she suffered longer than the killing act by making her aware she was going to die. He deserves the same circumstances by providing him with an execution date. I feel sorry for those that had to endure the agony of this girl's murder.

Well, I guess he will be practicing what was preached. He will be surrounded by Bros and no hoes. Hope those bros rape, strangle and stuff him under a sink.

If he's 18 now, and he murdered his girlfriend two years ago, then he is not DP-eligible. He is also not eligible for LWOP; that's why he can apply for parole after 40 years.

To paraphrase Joe Jackson (the white one): Was she really going out with THAT?!!

 

[Satanica]

She was too young to know her own value. It happens far too often.

It always scares me that so many people are willing to lie and help monsters conceal their crimes.

I would be afraid that they could do to me what they did to that person.

There is definitely something rotten with this guys peer group and I don't think any females should date them.

Yeah, I did see an article that clarified he was also 15 at the time of the crime. I can't remember if it was one already linked in this thread or if it was one I found in my own search. It had cctv photos taken a few hours before he murdered her & showed her walking with him.

I never saw anything that had his reason for killing her, if it was in retaliation for something he was mad about or if it was just something he did on a whim. Either way, it shows he is wasting space to exist.

Disgusting he is parolable in only 40 years
