HOUSTON (AP) — A detective who arrested
Ricardo Aldape Guerra in 1982 for killing a police
officer insisted Tuesday that witnesses were not
deliberately shown the Mexican man before a
police lineup.
"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?”
