Monday marks a pivotal day in Bexar County court, where Sebastian Hernandez is expected to receive his sentence for the fatal stabbing of Christopher Olivarez in September 2021. Hernandez entered a no-contest plea, avoiding a trial but not the ramifications of his actions. According toKSAT, he could face up to 32 years behind bars, the maximum punishment for his crime, with testimonies from both defense and state witnesses heard during the sentencing.
Despite not admitting guilt, Hernandez accepted the consequences when pleading no contest, as detailed by a separate report fromMSN. The case unfolded nine months after the killing when Crime Stopper tips led to his arrest. A burnt car, Olivarez’s, was left outside the city the vehicle Hernandez allegedly used to flee the scene of the crime.
Investigation evidence played a crucial role in linking Hernandez to Olivarez’s death. Footage from surveillance cameras and a Ring door camera led detectives to release video clips to the public, which eventually resulted in a useful tip-off. One of the recordings,KSAT notes, featured an unknown man, later confirmed to be Hernandez, multiple days before the murder took place.
With Hernandez’s DNA found on the murder weapon, it buttressed the prosecution’s case, proving pivotal in the no-contest plea that Hernandez ultimately submitted. The trial, set to commence at 9 a.m. at the Bexar County Justice Center, will be covered closely, and updates will be provided as events warrant.KSATwill provide live streaming of the events as they unfold in the courtroom.
