And according to the information from the reports and the information that we got during this case, that was sometime in the middle of October.

So about three weeks before the murder.

Now, following this, there were two individuals who made confessions.

There was one person who made a confession to a confidential informant from ICE and another individual who made a confession to his cellmate in jail.

Both of these individuals said that they were hired to perform this murder as a hit.

It was a hit that they were paid for, which links up with the information that Willie Williams was given that Jada had overheard that stems back to this fight at the club.

One of these individuals, they both specifically named Brian Pata as the person that they were paid to kill.

One of them was known to have a .38 caliber handgun that came from the individual who was the confidential informant at ICE.

And the firearms analyst in this case testified that the projectile taken from Brian Pata was consistent with a .38 caliber projectile.

So that's another link.

And

We learned sort of right before the trial started, because we just got a response from ICE, like the day before we were supposed to proceed with opening, responding to a letter that we sent asking them for a limited deposition about this individual and this confidential informant.

And another thing we learned was that the person who confessed, his name was Wilner Yacinthi,

to this confidential informant also told him that he was practicing voodoo.

He was doing some voodoo type rituals at the grave site and told this confidential informant where he would find these certain items that were related to these voodoo rituals.

And then the ICE agent went out, looked exactly in the spot where the confidential informant told him these things would be.

He finds these things and reports

You know, reports it or writes it in his.

You know, first of all, it was our position that that opened the door to allow us to now cross-examine and bring out some of these things that had been excluded previously.

Obviously, we weren't allowed to do that.
