The following is Part 1 of 5Â  statements from Carlos Ramos, otherwise known as the gardener who states he saw the three suspects in the car near the pond. The gardener places the three suspects at a location different from where they had stated. The pond was subsequently drained.

“What’s interesting is the time — 2:30 a.m. — when the three were supposedly on their way home,” said Twitty, referring to their previous accounts to investigators.

The witness, a gardener whose name was not disclosed, gave his account to investigators on Friday, Twitty said. (MSNBC)

Also from Diario April 26, 2006: Tacopina and his model client.

Tacopina has a problem with the witnesses his compatriot brought forward? Let him deal with him, not with me. Further, the gardener’s testimony stands as valid and concrete to this day. He confirmed this in front of a judge. He passed a lie detector test successfully! Nothing of what he has said has been contradicted with solid proof to this day.
