Joshua Rocha’s sentencing hearing ends with arguments over his mental health and trauma in the 2022 murder of Officer Daniel Vasquez.
The sentencing phase of Joshua Rocha’s trial concluded with closing arguments after the defense presented evidence of Rocha’s autism spectrum disorder, low IQ, PTSD, and a traumatic childhood, including surviving a house fire that killed two siblings and his grandmother.
Witnesses, including a neuropsychologist and family members, testified about Rocha’s mental health and hardships.
Prosecutors disputed claims of intellectual disability and argued the trauma does not excuse the 2022 murder of North Kansas City Police Officer Daniel Vasquez, whom Rocha was convicted of killing.
Closing arguments were set for Tuesday morning.
