Isaias Tovar-Murillo begged for mercy from the woman riding in his cab before the gun fired, Assistant District Attorney Shiv Sachdeva said in opening statements Tuesday afternoon. The trial for Misty Sunshine Moran, 39, of Gainesville, began around 2:30 p.m. Tuesday in Superior Court Judge Jason Deal’s courtroom. Sachdeva opened his speech to the jury with a summation of Tovar-Murillo’s life, a 46-year-old man who legally immigrated into the United States from Mexico and toiled for long hours as one of the hardest working taxi drivers at Taxi El Palmar.
