The punishment phase of  her trial is set to begin today before Juvenile District Judge Andy Mireles. <font color=\"Blue\" face=\"Verdana, Arial\" size=\"+1\">She faces up to 40 years in prison<\/font>.  <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Courier\" size=\"-2\">Although the girl now is an adult legally, the San Antonio Express- News is not printing her name because <font color=\"Blue\" face=\"Verdana, Arial\" size=\"+1\">she was a juvenile<\/font> at the time of the offense.  <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Courier\" size=\"-2\">The verdict, returned by a seven-woman, five-man jury after <font color=\"Blue\" face=\"Verdana, Arial\" size=\"+1\">less than an hour of deliberations<\/font>, capped two days of testimony in the guilt-and-innocence phase of the trial.  <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Courier\" size=\"-2\">Defense attorneys Diane Rivera and Joseph C\ufffdrdova rested their case without calling any witnesses.  <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Courier\" size=\"-2\">In her closing argument, Rivera maintained that the defendant was not involved in the attack, she didn&#8217;t take anything from the  home and she did not encourage others to harm the victim, Borge Hansen.  <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Courier\" size=\"-2\"><font color=\"Blue\" face=\"Courier\">&#8220;What&#8217;s her participation? How does all this pertain to her?&#8221;<\/font> Rivera asked the jury.  <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Courier\" size=\"-2\">But prosecutor Jill Mata said the girl had set up Hansen, and noted  she told police in a statement that she and her friend planned to take Hansen&#8217;s money without having sex with him.  <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Courier\" size=\"-2\">&#8220;Her counsel tells you <font color=\"Green\" face=\"Verdana, Arial\" size=\"+1\">what she did was stupid<\/font> . . . this is  criminal,&#8221; Mata said. &#8220;They were out to take advantage of him.&#8221;  <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Courier\" size=\"-2\">Most of Wednesday&#8217;s testimony came from Hansen, an Army retiree and volunteer Shriner clown who said he was propositioned for  sex after meeting April 8 with two teen-age girls at a Northeast Side coffee shop.  <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Courier\" size=\"-2\">After both sides agreed on a <font color=\"Green\" face=\"Verdana, Arial\" size=\"+1\">$100 payment in exchange for sex<\/font>, the  girls accompanied Hansen to his home. But after spending only a  few minutes at the house in the 4600 block of Iron Weed, <font color=\"Blue\" face=\"Verdana, Arial\" size=\"+1\">the girls declined sex<\/font>, then wandered throughout his home without permission, Hansen testified.  <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Courier\" size=\"-2\">As he was driving them back to the coffee shop, Hansen said the girls threatened to tell his wife about their encounter if he did not pay them.  <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Courier\" size=\"-2\">A short time later, Hansen said the girls returned to his home with  two men. One of the men attacked him with a knife.  <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Courier\" size=\"-2\">During the struggle, <font color=\"Red\" face=\"Verdana, Arial\" size=\"+2\">Hansen fatally shot one of the girls, Jessica Longoria, 17.<\/font>  <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Courier\" size=\"-2\">Among some of the items taken from him after the struggle were  <font color=\"Green\" face=\"Verdana, Arial\" size=\"+1\">jewelry, liquor and power tools<\/font>. Hansen was <font color=\"Red\" face=\"Verdana, Arial\" size=\"+1\">not charged in the incident.<\/font>  <\/font><\/p>\n<p><font face=\"Courier\" size=\"-2\">Two men, Charles David Cameron, 17, of the 13200 block of Larkplace Drive, and Robert Edward Kennedy, also 17, of the 3400  block of Ridge Smoke Street, are awaiting trial on aggravated robbery charges in state court.   <\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Borge Hansen Jury says teen is guilty of robbery By Matt Flores _ Express-News Staff Writer _ December 18, 1997 A jury convicted a teen-ager of aggravated robbery Wednesday after she was accused of baiting a 65-year-old man into having sex in exchange for money, then participating in a subsequent attack on him that left [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-teens-on-trial"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mynameiskate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mynameiskate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mynameiskate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mynameiskate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mynameiskate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.mynameiskate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mynameiskate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mynameiskate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mynameiskate.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
