After Esteban Armando Núñez was arrested Tuesday night in connection with an Oct. 4 killing, former Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez released a statement Wednesday calling the situation "a very difficult and painful experience for every family involved."
Here's Núñez's statement in full*:
"This is a very difficult and painful experience for every family involved. Maria and I love our children very much. We are confident our son Esteban will be cleared of the charges he is facing. We will continue to fully cooperate with all law enforcement officials and have faith in our system of justice. We ask that the media respect our family's privacy as the process moves forward."
The Bee's Jim Sanders and Kim Minugh have the latest information on the arrest.
*CORRECTION: We inadvertently left off the last sentence of Núñez's statement in the original post.
