Lately, it seems that the revolving door of criminal injustice has been showing us that even cold-blooded killers can dream of (and attain) freedom. Next up is Yolanda Saldívar, the convicted murderer of Tejano superstar, 23-year-old Selena Quintanilla- Pérez, who is edging closer to a potential parole date.

Yes, the woman who robbed the world of one of its brightest stars is eyeing an exit from prison, possibly as soon as 2025. Apparently, justice has a shelf life.

For those unfamiliar with the 1995 tragedy, Saldívar was sentenced to “life” for shooting Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, the beloved “Queen of Tejano Music,” in the back after being confronted for embezzlement.

Saldívar was a super-fan who eventually became the president of Selena’s fan club. She was reportedly going to get fired by Selena after it was discovered that she embezzled about $60K. The tragedy was made into a movie starring singer and actress Jennifer Lopez called “Selena” in 1997.

And yet, nearly 30 years after Selena’s murder, the woman who obliterated a cultural icon’s life might be rewarded for “good behavior.”

The parole system, in all its infinite wisdom, is set to review Saldívar’s case soon. While Selena’s fans continue to mourn and celebrate her legacy through tribute concerts and biopics, the injustice system is seemingly preparing to send her killer off with a “have a nice day.”

What message does this send? A disgusting message to be sure. And one that’s been going on all over the country due to progressive Democratic policies. Murder someone and you too can be out in time to enjoy retirement. The scales of justice don’t just tip – they topple when it comes to cases like this.

For Selena’s family and countless fans, this looming parole hearing feels like ripping open an old wound. Is there even a shred of consideration for the pain and devastation this woman caused? Or does good prison conduct, whatever that entails, now outweigh the permanent harm done to victims and their loved ones?
