Yolanda Saldívar seeks parole, claims Selena partly to blame

Yolanda Saldívar, who was convicted of murdering Selena Quintanilla in 1995, is preparing for her first parole hearing after serving 30 years in prison. Family members report that Saldívar believes Selena was partly responsible for her own death, claiming that the singer confronted her aggressively, which escalated the situation leading to the shooting. While Saldívar maintains that she takes responsibility for her actions, she argues that if Selena had approached her differently, the confrontation would not have ended in violence. The Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles is currently reviewing her case, which includes interviews and letters from the Quintanilla family. Critics, including former police officials, have dismissed Saldívar's claims as a continuation of her previous lies. The parole board hearing is set for the end of March 2025, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of Selena's death.
