- Son warns suspected killer may 'get away with murder' after conviction tossed in mom's execution-style slaying
A Wisconsin family faces renewed anguish after a judge overturned the conviction of Miguel Cruz, who was previously sentenced to life in prison for the 2000 execution-style murder of Juanita Zdroik. Cruz's conviction was vacated following an appeal challenging DNA evidence and sheriff's office conduct, with his son Zach Zdroik warning he may 'get away with murder' if a plea deal results in a lighter sentence.
