Unfortunately the interpertor for Rosa Lopez changed what she said. I believe what I know she said in English and what a friend of mine told me she said but the interpretor saying he found nothing in the backyard is backwards, Rosa said that the detective found a blue bag and left it in the back yard, the interpreter said she said he found nothing. I am very glad someone who spoke Spanish as a first language was in my house during this testimony as the Interpretor massacred her testimony. She admitted the filling out the unemployment form and tried to explain why and they said she said she didn't fill it out. Many Hispanics called the court in LA to complain of the interpreters lies but they got someone worse. They were making sure that Rosa Lopez's testimony would never be used for the jury and it wasn't.
