Filling the void of SPM

It’s been six years since Carlos Coy aka SPM South Park Mexican was sentenced to 45 years in prison. This accusation incarcerated SPM within the Texas Department of Criminal Justice facility on May 18, 2002. With a quick search on Google, it is easy to research that many fans are still trying to fill the music void that SPM left. There are several articles and online videos that can be found on this subject.

As published by the Houston Press in an article written by Olivia Flores Alverez. Here is a few excerpts from the article. These are the facts.

On September 1, 2001, a nine-year-old playmate of Coy’s six-year-old daughter Carley spends the night at the Coy home. Sometime during the night, the girl, later called Jane Doe, says she doesn’t feel well and asks to be taken home. Coy drives her home, sitting down to have menudo with her grandparents when they arrive. The girl’s parents are close friends of the Coy family.

On September 25, 2001, Carlos Coy is arrested and charged with aggravated sexual assault of Jane Doe.

On May 6, 2002, Coy’s trial begins. There is no physical evidence of a sexual assault presented during the trial. The prosecution’s case consists almost entirely of the girl’s testimony, which includes the statement that she thinks the assault might have been a dream.

On May 18, 2002, the jury deliberates for less than eight hours. They find Coy guilty.

On May 30, 2002, with his possible punishment ranging from probation to life in prison, Carlos Coy is sentenced to 45 years in prison and fined $10,000
