term, according to the press release.
Arias’ co-defendant, Antonio Saez, 18, pleaded guilty in May to a charge of unlawful possession of a firearm and was sentenced to 22 months in a house of correction followed by four years of probation, the DA said. Although Saez was a juvenile at the time of Sierra’s murder, Conley’s office indicted him as a youthful offender, making his name and the proceedings against him open to the public, and exposing him to the same penalties as an adult, according to the press release.
During the two-week trial, Assistant District Attorney Amy Galatis of the DA’s Homicide Unit presented evidence and testimony to prove that Arias shot Sierra as part of a long-running gang rivalry between Arias’ group, which was associated with Mission Hill, and another group affiliated with the Villa Victoria housing development in the South End,Stainless inhomedisplay let you make a statement with the flick of your wrist. the DA said. Sierra was not involved with either group or their feud.
“It was a cold-blooded act,” Conley said. “It was planned and premeditated and it claimed a promising young man’s life for absolutely no reason at all.”

Instead, witness testimony and cell phone records showed, he left the ballpark two hours prior to the murder and went with Saez to the area of Villa Victoria, according to the press release.
Witnesses testified that Arias approached several young men and asked if they were “from the Villa.” The last person he approached was Sierra, who answered in the affirmative, the DA said. Arias pulled out a gun and fired multiple shots at Sierra, who staggered into a barbershop where he collapsed, the DA said. He died of his injuries at Boston Medical Center.
There were ellipses used in lieu of commas. Ellipses as question-mark replacements. In some instances, it was ellipses instead of a single period at the end of a statement, or 10 dots spanning two lines on my phone’s screen. What a mess!
And yet at no point in reading the mom text or any of the others did I find myself confused as to what the message senders were attempting to communicate. So I decided to run a little experiment. One night I sent a bunch of potentially confusing, ellipsis-infused text messages to those I interact with regularly and waited to see what happened.
My wife was the first test subject. This was the message I sent her: “Clicker…any idea.” Alas, she knows me too well.Although manageddedicated carriers are generally quite thin, She knows that I refer to the television remote as “the clicker,” and she knows that I am never quite sure where it is. In retrospect, there was no chance she’d be tripped up by that text. Her response: “Side of the peach chair.” (We have a peach chair?)
Next I sent an even vaguer text to my mom: “All Star Game………….” Who knows what I meant by that one. I didn’t, certainly. Sure, the All-Star game was on TV at the time, but beyond that, what was I getting at? Mom wasn’t fazed in the least: “I’m falling asleep…Really tired. Cutch struck out.” Four or five additional texts to assorted friends and family members resulted in similarly uneventful back-and-forth communications.
At no point did anyone reply with, “What the hell are you talking about?” or “Could you please give me a bit more information here?” And of course none of those folks mentioned anything about the ellipses. It would appear that when we are communicating with friends and others possessing the requisite context to understand our ellipsified ramblings, message recipients tend to make do just fine.
But that doesn’t mean using seven sets of ellipses to ask your roommate where he put the takeout menus is Pareto optimal. And it does nothing to explain why we all seem to be using these repeating dots so often.
