In an exclusive confession from behind bars, accused murderer Omar Pena-Romero has revealed his remorse and desire to protect his child amidst an ongoing custody battle. Pena-Romero, who is awaiting arraignment on capital murder charges for shooting his wife, Cassandra Pena-Romero, claims that he was driven by weakness and a desire to save his family. However, his claims are contradicted by divorce papers filed by Cassandra just days before her death, in which she accused Pena-Romero of being unfit and threatening. Despite his confession, Pena-Romero denies the rape allegations made against him by Cassandra. Notably, his sister claims that surveillance footage shows Cassandra’s lover entering the apartment after Pena-Romero’s arrest, suggesting that he may not be guilty. The custody battle for the couple’s child is ongoing, with Pena-Romero’s family expressing concern for his well-being.
