A Cook County jury Wednesday found a man guilty in the deaths of six members of his extended family — including two children — at their Gage Park home, a case that prosecutors said was the result of a robbery that 'spiraled out of control.'
home, a case that prosecutors said was the result of a robbery that "spiraled out of control."
"How could one person have overpowered six people fighting for their lives and killed them in such a brutal fashion?" Assistant Public Defender Margaret Domin asked jurors in her closing argument. "It doesn’t make sense."Prosecutors countered that it was because of Uribe’s relationship to the victims that he was able to carry out the killings without anyone escaping or calling police.
Prosecutors had a strong case: They played clips of Uribe confessing to detectives and said Uribe’s DNA matched blood found at the crime scene and his cellphone records showed he had traveled to the area and then home on the day of the attack. At the small, brick bungalow, Uribe and Ramos were offered food, but Uribe declined and asked to speak privately with his aunt.
When the siblings’ mother, Rosaura Martinez, 58, threatened to call police, Uribe kicked her down a flight of stairs and stabbed her dozens of times with a kitchen knife, before forcing the two children — 13-year-old Leonard Cruz and 10-year-old Alexis Cruz — to help search for valuables.
