Senators Cruz and Cornyn's bill to exhume alleged serial murderer Fernando Cota from a national cemetery passes the Senate.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senators Ted Cruz and John Cornyn announced the passage of their bill in the Senate that mandates the exhumation of Fernando V. Cota from Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery. Cota is an alleged serial murderer and convicted rapist. Senator Cruz stated, "A convicted rapist should not be buried with honor among our nation’s heroes."
Senator Cornyn noted that Cota was the prime suspect in multiple murders and faced numerous sexual assault allegations. He emphasized that current laws do not permit individuals with such backgrounds to be honored in this way, urging for legislative correction.
This bill responds to a request from the son of one of Cota's alleged victims and seeks to rectify an oversight in the law that became effective after Cota's burial. Cota had a troubled past marked by violence and crime, culminating in his conviction for a brutal assault in the 1970s.
