It has been 20 years since the murder trial of the woman who killed Tejano music queen Selena.
"From now on, forever, people are going to be interested in this case," said Carlos Valdez, the man who prosecuted Yolanda Saldivar.
On Oct. 9, roughly seven months after she shot and killed Selena, Saldivar sat in a Houston courtroom before a jury of 12 men and women. It was during the trial that Valdez had the attention of a still mourning populous of Selena fans, presenting evidence that would eventually result in a guilty verdict and life sentence.
The crime created an interest not only on the fallen Tejano singer, but on an entire culture. 20 years later, Valdez says the murder and the trail still remain top of mind for so many people.
