"Get over it."Ruiz pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder for killing David Gregory, 18, of Hercules, and Darren Kretchmar, 21, of Pinole, at Fernandez Park on July 30, 2005. He also pleaded guilty to attempted murder for wounding Richard Male, of Pinole, and to an enhancement that the crimes were committed for the benefit of a street gang.Police said the victims were innocent bystanders who were waiting for a ride when Ruiz approached then and killed them because they wore red shirts, the color of a rival gang.His guilty plea enabled him to avoid trial and a possible death penalty conviction.In a packed courtroom today, Ruiz said he is happy to be alive and looking forward to a life in prison that would be safer than if he stayed in West County. He showed no remorse as the victims' friends and family members spoke about their great loss and about the devastation that Ruiz has caused.Teresita Rodriguez, 23, pleaded guilty to aiding and abetting in the shooting. She was sentenced today to three years probation and a three-year suspended prison sentence.
