Man sentenced to life for killing LA bride-to-be

In a heart-wrenching court hearing Tuesday, 34-year-old Omar Armando Loera pleaded guilty to murder with the special circumstance of murder during the commission of a burglary. He entered his plea in Los Angeles Superior Court in Van Nuys as part of a deal with prosecutors to avoid risking a potential death sentence.
He apologized to family and friends of Cheree Osmanhodzic, also 34, who was killed July 24, exactly two months before she was scheduled to be married. Loera, wearing an orange jail jumpsuit and shackled in handcuffs, said he would trade his life for the victim's if he could.
"I will pay in full," Loera said. "I will give my life, as we speak, if I could bring her back. I'm sorry I put them through all of this because of me."
In sentencing Loera, Superior Court Judge Jessica Perrin Silvers said the defendant trampled on the lives of the victim's family and caused a loss that is incalculable.
"You did away with a person as if she didn't count," Perrin Silvers said. "You destroyed any impact for good she was capable of giving."
Loera was captured in October in the border town of Mexicali following a manhunt. Deputy District Attorney Bobby Grace said Loera was linked to the crime through DNA evidence found on an Apple iPod Shuffle not far from the crime scene as well as a neighbor identifying the defendant. The only item believed to be taken from Osmanhodzic's Los Angeles residence was her driver's license, Grace said.

With the neighborhood closely following the case, Schoenfield {Public Defender) addressed the victim's family, and said, "My heart goes out to the family members of Ms. Osmanhodzic and I'm very sorry for what happened and hopefully the court process won't cause them any more sadness."

When asked whether a fair and impartial jury of Loera's peers can be found in such a high profile local case, he reflected, "Good question, it can be awfully difficult. It depends on how much time has passed." Attorney Schoenfield, time is passing... we will NOT forget! |
THEY FOUND HER KILLER. THANK YOU L.A.P.D AND U.S. MARSHAL'S
