How odd that I came and checked this thread today and found your interesting posts. First, the insinuation that I'm not who I said I am is curious. What would someone's motive be in pretending to be me? And if a websleuth can't find that Mr. Serna is married to me, I'm disappointed! I hope I remember to post a photo when I'm finished here.
I know I wrote a lengthy reply (twice) about some of the details, and for some reason they were deleted. Someone suggested I try 'validation' and without a law license or paralegal certification or law enforcement background, your administrator couldn't see a way to fit me in so to speak. So, here I am anyway.
I've worked at Mr. Serna's office for over 12 years. We've been married for 22. I don't usually work with client cases at all except for evidence, and I only to to court if I'm super interested in the hearing. This case was a Goliath of investigation and nearly overwhelming in terms of discovery. I had to help. I did help, and I know the facts of the case on a level few others do.
I'm pretty sure someone mentioned the magazine of the gun, and an allegedly damp towel. We believe the magazine was seated and the photos showing it, which weren't good enough for the state, shows it was. At any rate, no mention was made of it in the audio made on site describing what they found, nor in the police reports, draft or otherwise. Det. Jones 'recalled' the unseated magazine and the damp towel years later when it became apparent they needed some red flags from that night.
Here's a pic from 2000. I can't believe hubby and I have both gone so grey in the past 13 years. Mr. Serna's shirt says "Justicia para todos" and that's what we still believe. I hope you will recognize the gentleman standing between us. I support the work he does, and recommend you check out any of his books. It is far to common that people are sent off for years for crimes they did not commit.

Maybe I can find a photo of hubby and I that shows how much we've aged!
