'He wanted to get Poochie, no matter what the cost.'
who federal prosecutors called the "most corrupt" cop ever prosecuted at the downtown federal courthouse, according to testimony at a hearing that could lead to a new trial for brothers Juan and Rosendo Hernandez.
"He wanted [the drugs] back or he’d make sure Poochie got in trouble," said Rock, who testified Monday by video conference from his home on the Caribbean island of Domenica, where he has lived since he finished his sentence for his role in Miedzianowski’s network.Rock said Miedzianowski and Guevara discussed, in vague terms, their intention to "get Poochie" several times in the months before Rock learned the Hernandezes had been charged with murder.
Guevara, who has never faced criminal charges, has refused to answer questions about his old cases under oath since a 2017 hearing at which Judge James Obbish ruled the detective told "bald-faced lies" on the witness stand and tossed out guilty verdicts against two men who’d been convicted in a 2000 murder trial.
The brothers have denied involvement in the murder since they turned themselves in to police shortly after the shooting. The evidentiary hearing in front of Judge Joanne Rosado is expected to last until Wednesday. The Hernandezes’ lawyers also have argued that Guevara put bogus information in police reports to discredit the brothers’ alibis.
