at least mine is both david mallory an carter cervantes receive mandatory sentences of life in prison with no possibility o parole it was not enough or ashley mom and stepdad. the death penalty was what wanted it s what monica wanted. it was not to be they cling to memories of their actually tell us about the last time you saw your daughte physically in person it was november about a week before she died, ashley had invited monica to play bingo, monica was bus almost said no something told her to stop wha she was doing and go she is glad she did. i walked into the bingo hal and, oh my god, there s that little girl of mind. i smiled at her and i walked over to her and i kissed the side of her neck and i told he
go david mallory to but detectives had a theory. cooking. that carter and david killed ashli. out of revenge of being fire from the burglary. but they also wanted ashli ski to the american eagle. because they were planning t rob the store again. those key is where the onl thing missing from the murde scene. and one store manager, chris looked at the surveillance video from earlier that morning? he told police what they wante to hear. describe what you saw on th videotape? somebody dressed in dar clothes, with their face wrapped. walked right up to the store and tried to get in with cheese that, he said, was carter trying to pull off another bigger burglary. police just knew one day after killing ashlea and taking her case. carter was trying to break int american eagle where this time, tens of thousands of dollars, of black friday profits were in the
safe but the key did not fit. because after ashlea was murdered, chris change the locks. i wasn t going to take an chance, whether it be a deposi or them harming someone else i the store. we need to lock them out detectives pulled the surveillance video and look at this carter, slipping away from the mall, having already changed from her sweat clothes int pinks grabs. had to be trying to fool potential trackers this is after police saw her talking to dave it in th parking lot. then she walked all the wa home over the next few days, police got a warrant for carter and david s cell phones. that camera app, so useful well, we learned that the had conducted surveillance at ashley s apartment week before they had a picture of he apartment. her actual door to her apartment. and they had pictures of her vehicle, the white dodge ram pickup in early december, 2014
very clear to her just how far he would go to make sure absolutely sure that she would do what he demanded. someone pushed me down righ when i got into the apartment. during the night before the break in attempt, she said david brought strange men into their apartment. she heard an angry voice above her. he said, i ll make he follow directions. then her story got even mor harrowing. he took off my sweatpants and pull them down to my ankle and they raped me. raped twice, she said sobbing, by two different men. were you in pain? yes, i was screaming. prosecutors kevin russo and ashley dino were taken aback i know what i think
racial bias, she guessed wrong the jurors did not believe i not for a second they found her guilty in les than two hours as for david mallory, hi attorneys argued he had nothin to do with the murder. he was involved with carter, yes, but not with any killing. the jury did not buy tha either they were entered a guilty verdict in no time at all. the verdicts were some consolation for those who love ashlea harris. i still miss her. she saw the best in everybod even when you couldn t see it. she could see it she had such a big heart this world is worse off.
