Martinez was convicted in the February 1995 stabbing deaths of a 68-year-old woman and her four-year-old granddaughter during a burglary of their home.

Martinez told police he broke into the victim's home with the intention of stealing a stereo and television. He said he stabbed the elder woman when she confronted him with a baseball bat and then sexually assaulted her when she fell to the floor. He stabbed the woman's granddaughter to death when she started crying and then ejaculated on her body.

Martinez reportedly showed no remorse for the killings. While be escorted from the courtroom following his conviction, Martinez reportedly looked at the family of the victims and said, "It's not over yet."
