In the courtroom on Tuesday, the judge was expected to accept a 22-year prison sentence. However, Zamora claimed he was “confused” about the plea agreement; something that even surprised Zamora’s own attorney.
The judge listened to emotional testimony from Hernandez’s wife and brother about their loss, but in the end, the judge declined to finalize a decision on sentencing Tuesday. She mentioned she’ll give Zamora another two weeks to have his questions answered about the plea.
Zamora is facing 22 years in prison because he was only 17 when the murder happened. The judge indicated in court on Tuesday she’ll impose a final sentence at a hearing next month.
