Mario Edgardo Garcia-Aquino, the youth soccer coach charged with murdering a California teenager, is so dangerous to young men that he needs to be taken off the streets — that’s what the alleged victim’s lawyer is saying.
Luis Carrillo was at an L.A. courthouse for Mario’s arraignment Wednesday, where Luis straight-up told us Mario deserves life behind bars at the very least … and he thinks the D.A. might even push for the death penalty — but if they do, that decision would ultimately be up to the jury.
Catch the clip, because Luis doesn’t hold back. He calls Mario a cold-blooded killer and breaks it down, saying he had no business being in a job where he was around young boys in the first place.
Bottom line, Luis tells us that no matter what happens, justice will be served — one way or another.
We told you earlier this month, the Los Angeles County D.A.’s Office alleges Garcia-Aquino killed 13-year-old Oscar Omar Hernandez while committing a “lewd and lascivious act.”
Garcia-Aquino was originally arrested in connection with an unrelated sexual assault, and prosecutors eventually gathered enough evidence to charge him with Oscar’s murder.
He waived his rights to a speedy trial during his arraignment Wednesday, where his alleged victim’s mother Gladys Bautista was seen sobbing. Garcia-Aquino was ordered held without bail … he did not enter a plea. Mario’s next court date is set for June 18.
