Luis Espinoza walks free following Capital Murder case

Sarah Harper - Legal Affairs Reporter

On Wednesday the 11th of November, 2020, the Superior Court of San Andreas ruled that Luis Espinoza was not guilty on all charges laid against him by the District Attorney's Office. Luis was accused of Capital Murder, discharging a firearm and carrying a unlicensed firearm. The case was brought forward on the 22nd of September, 2020. 

 

The court case lasted two months, Luis Espinoza was represented by Terrence Fogel, a high profile criminal defense attorney. During the case, the defense provided multiple sworn statements mentioning that Luis was with them at the time of the shooting. The prosecution didn't serve the subpoena's to the two witnesses, Mia Vasquez and Sylvia Taylor, alleging that "phone calls went unanswered". 

 

The Justice issued his ruling on the 11th which cleared Luis of all charges laid against him, siding with the Defense's sworn affidavits from three witnesses that state Luis was with them at the time of the shooting, the Justice also noted while Luis' DNA was located in the vehicle, it was his vehicle after all so that's not out of ordinary. Along with a missing murder weapon, the court was unable to find enough reasonable doubt that Luis was involved and or was the shooter. The Court did acknowledge that there was time discrepancies and noted a GSR test would of helped, but finished the filing off that the prosecution had failed to meet the burden of proof.

Both Terrence Fogel and the District Attorney provided a statement to Los Santos News.

On Wednesday, November 12, 2020, the Superior Court of San Andreas found Mr. Luis Espinoza, 47, not guilty of the murder of Officer Wade Carter. We are disappointed with the outcome as the evidence clearly linked Mr. Espinoza to the crimes; however, the burden for proof in criminal cases is set to the highest bar making it imperative that witnesses immediately report any crimes they have witnessed. We grieve with the family and friends of Officer Carter and regret we could not help them find closure with the conviction of Officer Carter's killer. - District Attorney Spokesperson

 

I'm happy to see that the justice system saw through the reeking bullshit the case was - even though the burden on the defense was high. I hope the real killers are caught and that the memory of officer Carter is laid to rest - Terrence Fogel**

 

** Statement is slightly edited to resolve a typo issue with Officer Carter, previously Certer

Comment:  A landmark case for San Andreas, gone are the days of LSPD doing half ass police work to get hard working citizens off the streets. The officers involved should be punished for such a bullshit job in an investigation approach. Looks to me like they just wanted to fill some sick quota.
