Saldívar, a San Antonio native, was sentenced to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 30 years for the murder of the 23-year-old "Queen of Tejano" at a Corpus Christi hotel on March 31, 1995. Saldívar is now 64 years old. Saldívar was the president of Quintanilla's fan club before she killed the singer after the star confronted her over embezzlement allegations. "The reason provided by the panel for denial was the Nature of the Offense: The record indicates that the instant offense has elements of brutality, violence, assaultive behavior or conscious selection of victim's vulnerability indicating a conscious disregard for the lives, safety, or property of others, such that the offender poses a continuing threat to public safety," the statement read. Do you agree with the decision to deny Yolanda's parole? Yes, it was a violent crime and she should stay in prison
