Witness: Bleeding Julie Ann Gonzalez tried to call for help

In 2013, the witness said De La Cruz was venting one day reportedly almost in tears and felt bad about having an altercation with a girl he had a child with. De La Cruz told him the argument was about a guy she was talking to and that the fight was about her interest in another guy, the witness told the jury. Hesitant and crying, the man revealed that De La Cruz told him about a physical fight with Gonzalez where Gonzalez fell, hit her head and was bleeding. The witness said De La Cruz told him that Gonzalez tried to call for help but that he tried to stop her.
I know she was knocked out, and he freaked out, said the witness on the stand.
Even with those details, the witness admitted his memory about specifics of the conversation has faded. He also told the jury that he had arranged a meeting with detectives on this case through his attorney, and he has been given no benefits or leniency in exchange for his testimony. In fact, he pointed out that this process has been more of a setback than a gain for himself.
