Post 23 – Trial – Elisa Rodriguez (part 1)
Elisa was not a part of the PHCA for any of the “theft” in question. It was clear that the State was desperate to find people to lie and testify against Jason. It is clear that since Jason caused her husband to leave the community center and her credit card fraud from the community city center, she had an ax to grind. Continue reading…

How would Anita not believe something was wrong if a quarter of a million just disappeared? Pay close attention to the meeting minutes. They show a lot. Continue reading…
