Grieving loved ones of an English teacher from Westchester who was murdered and dismembered in Spain are in shock that her accused killer could be back on the streets in a decade.
'We don't want vengeance. We want justice,' Laura Cerna's brother, Thomas, 50, told The Post after returning to the United States with his parents. He spoke on Wednesday following his sister's funeral in Seville.
'Justice is, this man should rot in jail. But that's not the case in Spain.'
Antonio Gordillo, 30, is facing as little as 10 years behind bars for the rape, stabbing and dismemberment of Laura Cerna, 49, who had moved abroad six years ago from Larchmont.
Laura Cerna At his arraignment last Friday, prosecutors charged Gordillo with homicide. A lawyer hired by the family will argue that prosecutors should add Spain's most serious charge of aggravated homicide -- but even that offers a penalty of only up to 25 years in prison.
Laura disappeared on Aug. 30. Four days later, Gordillo, a waiter, was arrested, confessed to the crime and led police to where he had dumped her body parts in the Guadalquivir River. A suitcase recovered from the river bottom contained Cerna's head and left arm while the rest of her body was found in bags."
