Murder of Glady Ramirez Blog 5

On Wednesday, April 17, 1980, Police Officers and the Fire Department were dispatched to 374 Eland for a house fire. When the Fire Department arrived, they found the Complainant inside the house, burned and deceased. Dr. Ruben Santos of the Medical Examiner's Office. They performed an autopsy on the Complainant. The results of the autopsy showed the Complainant had also been stabbed and strangled along with being burned, and the death was ruled a Homicide. Gladys Jean Ramirez was only 29 years old at the time of her death. In 2004 this case was solved it took 24 years for this case to be looked at in consideration. In 2004, a former San Antonio resident who was residing in Virginia saw Gladys Ramirez's case on the SAPD Cold Case web page. The witness came forward and provided detectives with a statement that identified the husband of Gladys Ramirez as the suspect in the murder. Detectives obtained statements from two additional witnesses, and on October 7, 2004, SAPD Homicide Detective George Saidler obtained a Murder Warrant for Jose Angel Ramirez. The husband of Gladys Ramirez. Jose Ramirez was arrested the same day, and is currently awaiting trial. I believe that the criminal justice system has many flaws on approaching cases. How could this case go unsolved for 24 years and not catch the person who stabbed Glady Ramirez. Her husband is finally being put on trial and I don't get how that didn't suspect him in the first place. The thing i would like to change about the criminal justice system is that there are so many steps in proving that the defendant is guilty. I believe that it is too confusing to go through each step before putting someone on trial.
