| Paraphrased summary of comments made by prisoner and/or others: |
| Exequiel was arrested in March of 1995 for 1st degree burglary and receiving stolen property. Exequiel pled guilty, but the court |
| decided to hold the verdict in abeyance for one year, conditioned upon Exequiel successfully completing a one year in-patient |
| drug program. If successful, then the judge was going to reduce the counts to misdemeanors. Exequiel was unsuccessful in |
| the program and arrested again, so the judge sentenced Exequiel to 28 years to life. |
