FIDEL IS THE OLDEST OF MY 3 KIDS, WHEN HE WAS AT HOME HE WAS DOING GOOD AT SCHOOL, WAS ALWAYS INVOLVED IN SPORTS,AND HE NEVER WAS ARRESTED BEFORE THIS SAD CASE, BUT UNFORTUNATELY BECAUSE OF MY IGNORANCE OF WORKING EXTRA HOURS TO GAIN MORE MONEY TO TRY TO GIVE US A BETTER LIFE  BEING ALWAYS EXHAUSTED,AND THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE WE WERE GOING TROUGHT  I WASN'T CAUTIOUS OF THE BAD COMPANY MY SON WAS HANGING OUT WITH. 

PEOPLE MIGHT LOOK AT THIS CASE AND AUTOMATICALLY ASSUME HE IS A BAD PERSON BUT NEVER TAKE THE TIME TO HEAR THE FULL STORY.

MY SON, FIDEL A. ROSALES, HAS BEEN IN PRISON FOR NINE YEARS, HE IS NOW 24 YEARS OLD AND HE HAS NEVER CAUSED ANY TROUBLE. HE HASNT MARKED HIS BODY WITH TATTOOS, HE FINISHED SCHOOL IN PRISON, HE STARTED WORKING, HE IS IN A BASEBALL TEAM AND HE HAS BEEN A GREAT CITIZEN SINCE HE HAS BEEN THERE.

WE HAVE HIRED LAWYERS AND PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS TO HELP US BECAUSE MY SON ACCEPTED HIS RESPONSABILITY OF FIRE A WEAPON BECAUSE HE WAS FORCED TO DO IT BUT HE DID FIRED IT TO THE AIR. NO FINGER PRINTS OR GUN WAS EVER FOUND BUT 2 PERSONS WITH PREVIEW CRIMINAL RECORD SAID THEY WERE IN SAME CAR WHERE FIDEL WAS  AND THEY  TESTIFIED BLAMING FIDEL FOR EVERYTHING IN EXCHANGE THEY RECEIVED INMUNITY FOR THIS CASE. ON THEIR TESTIMONIES THE ONLY PHRASES THAT WERE EXACTLY SAME IS ABOUT BLAMING FIDEL .. NONE OF THEM COULD MATCH THEIR STORIES ABOUT PLACE WHERE THEY WERE THAT NIGHT BEFORE THE INCIDENT  OR WHERE THEY WERE SITTING IN THAT  CAR .

EVERYTHING IS ON TRIAL  TRANSCRIPTS . 

THERE WERE TWO WITNESSES WHO NEVER WERE INTERVIEWED BY THE DETECTIVES. THE WITNESSES WERE AT THE CRIME SCENE ON JULY OF 2006, BUT THEY LEFT BEFORE AUTHORITIES ARRIVED. THESE WITNESSES SAW THAT A SECOND PERSON FIRED A GUN FROM THE SAME CAR WHERE MY SON WAS AND THEY ALSO WITNESSED THE VICTIMS FIRING WEAPONS TOWARD THE CAR WHEN IT WAS LEAVING.

A PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR INTERVIEWED ONE OF THE WITNESSES IN 2013 BEFORE THE RESENTENCE OF MY SON, WHICH WAS 50 YEARS TO LIFE, BUT HE REFUSED TO GO TO COURT. HOWEVER HE WROTE A LETTER IN 2010 STATING EVERYTHING THAT HE WITNESSED THAT NIGHT, BUT SINCE HE REFUSED TO TESTIFY IN COURT, THE LAWYERS COULDN'T DO ANYTHING.

PLEASE HELP US GIVE MY SON A SECOND OPPORTUNITY TO DEMONSTRATE SOCIETY THAT HE IS A GOOD CITIZEN WHO WAS NOT AWARE OF HIS ACTIONS DUE TO HIS IMMATURITY AS A TEENAGER, THE PRESSURE, AND FEAR HE WAS IN AT THAT MOMENT.
