Where is Amit Livingston, the East Asian man convicted for the 2005 of murdering teacher Hermila Hernandez and burying her body in a shallow grave off the furthest access to South Padre Island National Seashore?
No one knows.
Livingston was convicted in disgraced District 404th Judge Abel Limas' courtroom after he was sentenced to 23 years in prison. He stood up, walked out of the courtroom — and has never been seen again.Livingston, then 38, at first denied any involvement in her death and lied to investigators about his whereabouts around the time she was killed. On Feb. 13, 2007, Livingston pleaded guilty to murdering Hernandez. He told 404th state District Judge Abel Limas that he killed her because she "pushed the right buttons" and insulted his manhood.
And although convicted District Attorney Armando Villalobos said that he had objected to allow Livingston 60 days to get his affairs in order, Greg Gladden, Livingston’s attorney, said at the time there was no objection by the prosecutors.
What is know is that Villalobos concurred that a parallel civil lawsuit by the victims' family where the Livingstons had posted a $500,000 bond should be released and that the family receive $300,000 and their attorney – his former law partner Eddie Lucio – should get his $200,000 fee.
A federal jury found Villalobos guilty of racketeering, conspiracy to commit racketeering and five counts of extortion, while acquitting him of two other counts of extortion, including one conviction for extortion involving the $200,000 that Lucio received from the Livingston murder case,and another count involving paying former state District Judge Abel C. Limas $9,600 to $9,700 to squelch the inquiry into the murder case.
Now the Livingston family has informed Cameron County that it is filing a claim to recover the $200,000 that Lucio received. A grand jury found Lucio innocent of a five-count indictment of giving Villalobos an $80,000 kickback in connection with the Livingston case and of giving $1,000 to Limas for his silence in the same case.
The agenda item will be heard in executive session during the 8 a.m Thursday meeting of the commissioners court at the Dancy Building in Brownsville.

have Amit Livingston come and collect $$
Good one
(have Amit Livingston come and collect $$)
I mean, just to ensure all is in order, huh?
Dags.
Based on the conviction of Armando villalobos and the testimony that was presented and on record, the Hernandez family should sue for the amount that Eddie Lucio kept. This lawsuit by the family on Amit Livingston was based on false pretenses and not discovered till Villalobos' trial. That being mentioned, the family should be able to file suit and the two year statute should not apply. Hey Austin, you should make that short bald headed girlie chaser pay it back when you apply the death sentence on Lucio and make him actually work for his money. Hell, for that matter sue Villalobos, even though he won't pay because he will be in PRISON!!!
Well if it's up to our
Commissioners I am sure they would approve it. It seems like they approve expenditures for all the wrong reasons.
MONTOYA....SE NECESITA UNA LIMPIA TOTAL EN TODOS LOS NIVELES DE GOVIERNO ESPECIALMENTE EN LA CUIDAD DE BROWNSVILLE EMPEZANDO POR EL MANEJANTE DE LA CUIDAD QUE ES UN 'LADRON'Y SEGUIRLE CON TODA SU CAMARILLA DE LADRONES EN DIFERENTES DEPARTAMENTOS. Y LUEGO EN EL CONDADO,COMO ES POSIBLE QUE SE SIGAN HACIENDO TANTAS CHIONGADERAS Y NADIE HAGA NADA.
