Trial Starts In Murder Of Chicago Police Officer Alejandro Valadez
Trial has gotten underway in the criminal case involving the murder of Chicago police officer Alejandro "Alex" Valadez. Shawn Gaston, 22, is the defendant on trial and gave a videotaped confession to the shooting. No surprise, his defense attorney is now trying to spin a different fairytale, these comments coming directly from Jason Meisner's Chicago Tribune article:
"In his animated, hour-long opening statement, Gaston's attorney, John Paul Carroll, told jurors police broke procedure and even fabricated evidence in their 'frantic' search for the killer. He suggested the weapons may have been planted in the trunk after the car was impounded."
Really Mr. Carroll? That's what you think the evidence will show? Yeah right. And what about that videotaped confession?
And how about these comments: "Twice, Carroll referred to the investigation of is client - who is African-American -as 'lynching.' He also brought objections from prosecutors when he stated that '97 percent of white people in this country are good, God-fearing people." Hmm. . . what is Mr. Carroll doing here? Pretty pathetic.
Hopefully, justice will be served.
YOU NEED TO SIT IN COURT AND THEN POST , WHY IS THE POLICE OFFICERS CAN'T COME UP WITH CONSECUTIVE STORIES , WHY ARE THERE TWO DIFFERENT POLCE REPORTS , WHY WASN'T ONE OF THE POLICE OFFICERS WEAPONS CHECKED. THEY WANT US TO BELIEVE THAT THESE THREE ARE MONSTERS, WHEN I SIT IN COURT JUST TO OBSERVE AND I AM FINDING OUT THAT THE POLICE ARE COVERING UP A LOT OF THINGS, JUST MAYBE ONE OF HIS OWN SHOT HIM.
