Downey CA - February 15, 2004
Yielding to community outrage and new counsel the courts have revoked Downey’s killer cops prosecution immunity and in all probability will be handing over crucial police cruiser videotape currently being withheld from the Martinez family at the June 3rd court appearance. Norma, Gonzalo’s mom Friday speaking of the tape release said the following, “I think that the judge is going to grant this (tape release) and then everybody is going to see what they really did to my son, how the brutally killed my son…”
Next month Gonzalo’s parents, Norma and Norberto will be going to New York to continue their petition for justice in the murder of their son before the United Nations and Organization of American States.
