So as we know, Miss Gonzalez is shown multiple lineups and has not once been able to point out Junior as the shooter.

Until of course, six months later, she's shown a lineup again and apparently screams out, that's him.

So what happened in that time that meant she all of a sudden picked Junior out of this lineup?

Well, yet another TV show covered the story of Evaristo Salas Jr.

In the show, Reasonable Doubt, they discovered something else that was very interesting.

It would appear that months after Ophelia Gonzalez is unable to pick anyone from a lineup, police have her undergo hypnosis.

And after that, she then points out Evaristo Salas Jr.

as the one who shot her partner.

This information is never brought up in trial and is in fact never even disclosed to Jr.

's defence attorney.

Why?

Well, on June 7th of 1984, State v. Martin, the Supreme Court of Washington stated, and I quote, "...in accord with recent and persuasive case law and the overwhelming consensus of expert opinion, we conclude that testimony by a witness as to a fact which became available following hypnosis is inadmissible in the trial of criminal cases in this state."

Essentially, this means that had the court been made aware of Ophelia Gonzalez's hypnosis, her testimony about seeing Junior that night as the shooter would be thrown out.

Junior, if this wasn't so serious, it would be laughable, to be honest.

I mean, it's just, I mean, what are they doing hypnotizing this woman?

So we're going to take a quick break, but when we come back, the hypnosis of Ophelia is not the only concern around Miss Gonzalez.

Because what's even more interesting is that in the six months prior to Junior being arrested for murder, the police's only potential suspect was in fact Ophelia herself.

Didn't even mention it.

Didn't even hear about it.

Didn't know nothing about it.
