HOUSTON – Senator Paul Bettencourt and Crime Stoppers of Houston held a press conference on “Caitlynne’s” bill filing on Personal Recognizance Bonds (PR bonds) Monday. Introduced by Bettencourt, the bill focuses on a growing public safety issue. The bill would prevent defendants from release on multiple PR bonds.
The press conference started at 10 a.m. at the Crime Stoppers of Houston Building and included several community leaders/officials.
The press conference comes nearly two years after pregnant Pasadena mom Caitlynne Infinger Guajardo was allegedly killed by her husband, who was out of jail due to a PR bond.
Police said Alex Guajardo, 22, had just been released from jail on a personal recognizance bond after he was accused of killing the family cat and hitting his wife in the face. Police said the man admitted to killing his wife, stabbing her nearly 20 times.
