Gavin Newsom is getting blasted by San Luis Obispo County prosecutors after he declined to intervene in the parole of a convicted murderer, a decision that cleared the way for a man who served more than 50 years for a brutal 1974 killing to be released from prison.<\/p>\n<p>District Attorney Dan Dow is sharply criticizing both the parole decision and the governor\u2019s refusal to act, saying the outcome represents a failure of California\u2019s criminal justice system and a devastating denial of justice for the victim.<\/p>\n<p>Alberto Tamez was convicted of kidnapping, raping and strangling Genevieve Adaline Moreno in Nipomo in 1974.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Booking photo of Alberto Tamez, Jr. <span class=\"credit\">County of San Luis Obispo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI am deeply troubled that our criminal and victim justice system has reached a result where the man who brutally murdered Genevieve Moreno over 50 years ago will now walk free,\u201d Dow said.<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutors say the attack began outside the bar where she worked and ended nearby where her body was later discovered.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-primary-tag\">\n<\/aside>\n<p>Moreno was attacked during the late-night hours of June 17 into the early morning hours of June 18, 1974.<\/p>\n<p>Her body was found later that morning in a grove of eucalyptus trees roughly a quarter mile from the bar.<\/p>\n<p>San Luis Obispo County Medical Examiner Dr. Karl Kirschner determined Moreno died from \u201chomicidal strangulation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She also suffered multiple bruises, abrasions and cuts to her face, forearms, abdomen and thighs during the attack.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"nyp-slideshow-modal-image wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><figcaption>Aerial view of California Men\u2019s Colony, a male-only state prison. <span class=\"credit\">Shutterstock \/ Sundry Photography<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Investigators identified Tamez the same morning of the murder after he was found with bloodstains on his shirt and hands, along with foxtails and other debris linked to the crime scene.<\/p>\n<p>He was later convicted of first-degree murder, robbery, kidnapping and rape by force and sentenced in September 1974 to life in prison with the possibility of parole.<\/p>\n<p>Now 75 years old, Tamez was granted parole by the California Board of Parole Hearings on Dec. 30.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single__inline-module inline-module inline-module--newsletter aligncenter inline-module--nypostbusinessunit aligncenter wp-block-nypost-editor-newsletter\" data-source-unit=\"Inline Newsletter Module Cali - Morning Report\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__inner\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__title-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"inline-module__unsubmitted-title-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"inline-module__title headline headline--combo-sm-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSign up for the California Morning Report newsletter\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n<p class=\"inline-module__cta\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCalifornia&#8217;s top news, sports and entertainment delivered to your inbox every day.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"inline-module__title headline headline--combo-sm-md\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tThanks for signing up!\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Dow said his office fought the release at every stage and argued there was no question about Tamez\u2019s responsibility for the killing, calling it a \u201chorrific, senseless act of violence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy office fought this outcome at every stage, opposing his attempt to vacate his conviction and making clear to the courts that Alberto Tamez, Jr. was not a peripheral figure or a legal technicality. He was the killer. He admitted it.
