"I was extremely cautious on that,” Francisco Ybarbo testified at a hearing which could lead to freedom or a new trial for Aldape Guerra. Aldape Guerra, 34, was sent to death row for the 1982 shooting death of James Harris, a Houston police officer who stopped him for questioning. Guerra, an illegal immigrant who had only re cently arrived in Houston, came within three days of execution at one point before receiving a reprieve. His attorneys have argued successfully before U.S. District Court Judge Kenneth Hoyt that mis conduct by police and Harris County prosecutors tainted Aldape Guerra’s 1982 arrest and conviction. The district attorney, however, won a hearing this week before a retired Texas Court of Crimi nal Appeals justice, Frank Maloney. He is to de cide if a capital murder charge against Aldape Guerra should be dismissed because of Hoyt’s 1995 decision. In the second day of testimony, Ybarbo de scribed how officers and detectives converged on a house where witnesses said two men fled af ter the Harris shooting. But Ybarbo, who retired from the Houston po lice in 1987 and is now a high school biology teacher, denied that witnesses were handcuffed, forced to lie on the ground or mistreated. Aldape Guerra eventually was found hiding in a back yard. A man identified at his trial as an ac complice was shot to death by police in a gun battle only hours after Harris was slain. Ybarbo said he handcuffed Aldape Guerra and was with him when he was taken to the po lice station for a statement and lineup. The sus pect also had bags placed over his hands so tests could be made to see if he had fired a gun. Defense attorneys contend that witnesses to the shooting can testify that as they waited at the police station, they were allowed to see him in the halls or through glass doors before the lineup. “Even from the doorway, you can’t see,” Ybar bo said. “The witnesses are kept separate.” Maloney, referring to the shooting witnesses who were seated on benches at the police station, then interjected: “Are these people all lying?” heTourn “Yes, and I intend to prove that," ElsaAlft# La S t week Harris County assistant district attorney,su headed to tin Under cross examination, Ybarbocoul®Mrli n gt 0 n for call taking Aldape Guerra to apolicelabtal] tos or for tests to see if he had fired a though the detective had signed doci indicating he was present.
