Garcia, the only member of Barrientes Vela’s administration besides her to be indicted, saw his felony perjury case and three counts of official oppression dismissed by prosecutors in a deal described in open court Tuesday morning.
Ex-constable Michelle Barrientes Vela and members of her family use cell phones and a camera to record a KSAT photographer outside court Tuesday morning., meaning only the judge and members of the prosecution and defense were allowed inside. Spectators and cameras were allowed back inside a third time. They saw the prosecution rest its case without calling any additional witnesses.
“We never had an issue with what Marc Garcia was going to say. The issue that we had was that it was an injustice that Michelle’s lawyer had represented him against her,” said Goss.
