Case File State v. Sanchez

By: Boals, Elizabeth I.

Was Ernesto Sanchez in the wrong place at the wrong time, or is he a member of a violent criminal gang? Sanchez admits that he was caught up in a parking lot gang fight in his rough neighborhood and stabbed Patrick Connor, who died of the wound. Sanchez says he stabbed Connor in self-defense after Connor hit him with a baseball bat. The witnesses agree that Sanchez was on the ground and Connor was standing over him. What happened next is in dispute, as is whether Sanchez is a gang member or just a local resident who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. This unique file focuses on gang activity and non-traditional experts whose qualifications are experience rather than education.
