nobody ever talk to her about whacking someone, or murdering someone, or shooting someone. mesereau was ready with those arguments and more. and who knows where the jury might have done. remember the movie my cousin vinny where joe pesci plays a lawyer who gets his client an acquittal of charges? well, this movie didn t end that way. on the eve of trial, claudia decided not to fight the charges. she pleaded no contest to two counts of attempted murder. she received a sentence of 12 years and four months. claudia s friend julie. on the deal that she is offered, she will be out in a few years and see her daughter grow up. that s why she took it. and after her sentencing, joe pesci supported his ex-wife and showed up. as for what miguel quiroz and jorge hernandez, they got plea deals. haro was sentenced to life in prison, with possibility of parole. he was released in july 2017.
murder charges against miguel quiroz wouldn t be easy. multiple witnesses said they saw and spoke to quiroz at his pizza parlor on the night of the shooting. these witnesses were not really beholden that mr. quiroz? they were not members of his family, there are just customers. yes they were, they were frequent customers of that establishment. plus he had receipts. so it was a pretty good alibi. and so, at quiroz s preliminary hearing, evidence pointed both ways. witnesses put quiroz nearly 80 miles away from the scene of the crime the night it happened. but then why did quiroz have gareth s picture hidden in his car?
we go back round and round about this and finally he admits that he was one of the middlemen. miguel quiroz admitted that while he wasn t the shooter, he was in on the plot. and that he was caught by his own carelessness. he explained that that hid note had been sent directly to him, that he had put it under the spare tire, in the trunk of his car, and literally, he said, he had forgotten about it. so the reason you ended up fighting that hid note under the spare tire in the trunk of mr. quiroz s carr was because he put it there for safekeeping and forgot it? this is one of those stranger than fiction, kind of things. certainly no one would write a script like this because it would kind of look like any self respecting director or producer and saying, come on, that is ridiculous. but people forget things. disorganized crime? yeah. luckily for prosecutors, miguel quiroz had not sworn a
a misspelling of the word a gura. the word is the word is misspelled in the exact same way. claudia insisted that she had never given any notes or maps to miguel quiroz. know that i can think of, and no. so if we had, someone s address written in your handwriting? i don t know. not for me. i don t know. she claimed to know very little about what her brother manny haro might have been up to. why would your brother, who had never even met garrett, want to kill him? i don t know. that s not why would he tell us that you re the one that asked him if he d kill and help arrange it? i don t know. did you ever give your brother a large amount of money?
the plot thickens . faith in, los angeles county, california. was garrett warren was gunned down, shot four times in his own home, but somehow survived. if it is character, really. a hollywood stuntman, martial artist, and former fighter. not only did he survive, he was able to identify a shooter. a man who had been caught with what looked like a hit note in his car. and they tell you his name is miguel quiroz? yes. did that name mean anything to you? not at the time at all. it s needed at first like a strong case. but the more law enforcement and prosecutor chun investigated, the less clear became. you did a lot of work and was somewhat you did was help prove your defendants alibi? sure, so far. remember, multiple witnesses put miguel quiroz about 80 miles away from garret s home
