Taco Land trial update

From MySa.com:

Just before his capital murder trial would have started, Jose Najera pleaded guilty to two counts of murder in exchange for a 50-year sentence.
The state had planned to seek the death penalty for Najera, accused of the June 24, 2005 deadly shootings at Taco Land. He and Joseph Gamboa were each charged with the slayings of Ramiro "Ram" Ayala and Douglas "Gypsy Doug" Morgan, as well as the attempted murder of Denise "Sunshine" Koger.
The deadly robbery ended the 30-year run of Taco Land, once a fixture on the city’s music scene.
Gamboa was convicted last year and sentenced to death.
