I’m in court this morning as a witness for the Coroner’s historic Inquest in the killing of Andrés Guardado by a Compton Sherrif. These videos are a key piece of evidence. Word is the shop manager, Andrew Haney, who I interviewed here, has disappeared. #andresguardado

Update: Deputy Miguel Vega, who shot Guardado, is out of the country. He intends to submit a declaration in lieu of testifying invoking the 5th. His partner, Hernandez, submitted a declaration invoking the 5th. Detective Davis, the on-site investigator, is invoking the 5th.
Homicide Investigator Joseph Valencia is also invoking the 5th.
The Sheriffs have provided evidence in a sealed file. It is not allowed to be viewed by the public, only by the judge. After the judge views it, it will be returned to the Sheriff.
Judge is questioning if it’s appropriate for investigators to invoke the the fifth. She will be seeking further advice on this.
Dr. Omalu, an independent forensic pathologist who performed a 2nd autopsy on Andrés testified that his opinion is that the death was homicide. Investigation is not over, needs Sherrifs’ docs, but he feels that regardless what is in those documents, it won’t change his findings.
The hearing has adjourned, judge says she will be looking to see if the officers and investigators are protected under the fifth amendment and will look to schedule a second inquest. There are still outstanding subpoenas for witnesses.
Since this is getting some new eyes, I’m adding this thread with threads filled with everything you need to know about Andrés Guardado and Sheriffs corruption surrounding their “Deputy Gangs”. Deep dive here 👇🏽
