Yolanda Saldívar Blames Selena for Own Death Ahead of Parole Hearing

Yolanda Saldívar, who is serving a life sentence for the 1995 murder of Tejano music icon Selena Quintanilla, is claiming that Selena's aggressive confrontation contributed to the tragic shooting. Family members of Saldívar assert that had Selena approached the situation differently regarding allegations of embezzlement, the outcome might have been avoided. Saldívar, who has consistently maintained her innocence and described the incident as accidental, is nearing her parole eligibility date of March 30, 2025. Her family argues she has already served enough time and feels like a 'political prisoner.' As the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles prepares to review her case, the dynamics surrounding Saldívar's potential release have intensified with these new claims. This narrative has sparked discussions among fans and the public regarding justice for Selena and the implications of Saldívar's assertions on her trial and conviction.
