We looked into Galarza's criminal history. It spans a decade. In 1999, he was convicted of burglary. Four years later in 2003, a judge sent him to prison for receiving stolen property evading arrest and driving under the influence. Galarza was on parole in 2006 when police arrested him for evading arrest and driving under the influence.
Defense Attorney Erin Ormonde reviewed the cases against Galarza and gave us her opinion. Ormonde says, "The circumstance are really dangerous, just from what I've heard … what the courts are concerned about and what the state is concerned is how dangerous is this person to society. That is their number one concern."
Ormonde believes a judge will come down hard on a man who twice was arrested while on parole. He also faces drug charges for being high on meth.
