Wonder what he did to violate bail?

Sure, you made me look!

"A judge says Levi Chavez, the former Albuquerque Police Officer accused of killing his wife in 2007, violated his conditions of release and ordered him back to jail after increasing his bond.

Levi Chavez is charged with the murder of Tera Chavez. He's accused of shooting her with his police-issued gun in 2007, then staging the scene to look like a suicide.

Tera's brother Josh Cordova accused Chavez of following him into a bathroom on CNM's main campus, then cursing at him in a threatening manner. Cordova is a potential witness in the murder trial.

Chavez was ordered to have no contact with potential witnesses, which Cordova is."

In the courtroom adjusting the camera's. I hope someone complained and we get better picture's and sound.
 
Prosecutor talking to himself for a better way to present and organize the pictures.
 
Interesting tidbits from lawsuit:

"...missing diary was apparently taken. The latest diary remains missing."



"Tera’s cell phone kept making and receiving calls and texts after her death, even though her cell phone was secured in evidence at VCSO. After her birthday gift in late August, there were two phones using the same number,
one being a “clone phone”.


"Her legs were crossed at the ankles, and she was propped up against some pillows against the wall where a headboard would be. By all appearances, Tera Chavez fell asleep watching TV late Saturday night or early Sunday morning, October 21, 2007. "


"When the Cordovas went to Tera’s house to get clothes for the viewing and for the grandkids prior to the funeral, they were shocked to find that Levi Chavez and reportedly “cop friends or relatives” had already removed or packed every single thing in the house that was owned by or referred to the existence of Tera Chavez, including all photographs, clothing, furnishings, art work, wall hangings, jewelry, writings and her current diary"
 
Here is the pdf file of the lawsuit brought forth by the estate of Tera Chavez against Levi Chavez......it is interesting. Very very interesting! Poor Tera!

14. Defendant Levi Chavez met the Cordovas’ only daughter when she was in
high school. Tera Andrea Cordova became pregnant and gave birth to a
daughter in 1998 when she was sixteen years old.

15. Defendant Levi Chavez and Tera Cordova were married in February, 2000,
and the couple had their second child in October, 2001.






Let's see how badly that link blows the margins..... I might need to take the link out!

Only on page 17 but here is another woman planning her life with her kids and no longer with the husband.

We heard earlier testimony about Tera's cell phone being recharged. Who recharges their phone as they plan to kill themselves?
 
LOL, discharge from the groin area, sometimes referred to as skid marks!

For some strange reason when they referred to the discharge before I assumed fluid from sexual intercourse of some kind.

BBM - that's exactly what I thought when I heard testimony about her phone being charged. Also according to the Cordova's civil suit, Tera didn't usually have her phone on that dresser to charge it. Additionally, the civil suit says, in #86, there were NO FINGER PRINTS found on the gun, grip, or bullets. NO FINGER PRINTS?!?! Hmmm....
 
The web gets deeper....Nick Wheeler who was the officer having an affair with Tera was calling officer Aron while Aron was at the scene.......

Aron did not know about the affair until Mr. Cordovas told him a couple days later........
 
"A pack of lies is better than the truth" You can then dig a little and go back and impeach what was said......the truth then is easier to get at!

Oh my! This guy has dealt with liers before would be my guess!
 
Holy shhhh guys.... if this wasn't so tragic I would bring out the :popcorn:

No kidding!!! I am so bummed right now I have to leave to get my husband from work bc he is to tired to ride his bike home. Thanks in advance to everyone when I get back I know will not have missed anything.

86. The gun was subsequently tested for fingerprints, and there are no fingerprints
of Tera Chavez on the gun, nor on the magazine clip, nor on any bullet.

87. The gun was also tested for DNA evidence and there was a mixture of DNA of
Tera Chavez and Levi Chavez on one side of the grip handle, which is not
surprising as it had reportedly been shot recently by both of them on the
range. There is DNA from Tera Chavez on the muzzle.


So who shoots themself dead and then wipes their fingerprints off the gun?
