Selena
Yolanda Saldivar, convicted of murdering Tejano music star Selena, asked the Texas Court of Criminal appeals to order an appeal filed nine years ago in Nueces County to move forward.
On Wednesday, the court denied Saldivar’s appeal because it was filed in the wrong county.
Saldivar is serving a life sentence for shooting Selena, 23, in a Corpus Christi motel room in 1995. She was the founder of the singer’s fan club and ran the Selena Etc. clothing company. She was accused of embezzling thousands of dollars from the business.
Mug shot of Yolanda Saldivar.
Selena went to the motel room to confront Saldivar about the embezzlement. Prosecutors said she shot Selena deliberately, but Saldivar claims the gun went off accidentally while she was gesturing with the weapon.
Saldivar will be eligible for parole in 2025.
