What the attorney thinks - Raymundo Chagolla

Well it's that time again! Today I sit down with the man they call the voice of reason Mr. Michael Leonard from Leonard trial lawyers in Chicago Illinois to discuss the latest case, which today is the case of Raymundo Chagolla.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

On January 10, 2000, Raymundo Chagolla, who was 18 years old at the time, was at home recovering from the flu and watching The Simpsons. Around 8:40 p.m. at the Stardust Motel in Riverside, California, a tragic incident occurred. Billy Medlin, a resident of the hotel, was helping someone at the motel’s soda machine when a man approached them. The man yelled at Medlin, referred to him as “white boy homie,” and shot and killed him. The shooter then fled towards the back alley, firing his gun at the building before disappearing from view.

Despite the prosecution being unable to establish a clear motive for the shooting, Raymundo was charged and convicted based on contaminated eyewitness identifications and unrecorded hearsay statements. Raymundo consistently maintained that he was at home during the shooting and cooperated with the police throughout the investigation.

During the trial, it was not disclosed to the defense that there were others who had a clear motive to want Medlin dead.
