For example, Robinson had the support of his former church. The pastor was a highly respected community leader. He asked for and got a meeting with the District Attorney, Gil Garcetti prior to the Robinson trial in October 1993. <br /><br />After meeting with the pastor, Garcetti called Paul Turley into his office for a meeting. Garcett asked what he had for evidence. Paul told him "fingerprints." Garcetti said, "That's it?" Paul replied in the affirmative. Garcetti's parting comment was "sounds like a tough case."<br /><br />As it turned out, Paul Turley was able to use the fingerprints and Navy records to lock up a dead-bang guilty case.<br /><br />David In TNAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
