As we know, Junior doesn't and the informant has to then take the stand.

He says this is why on the day he acted the way he did making the statement about CRS disease.

He didn't want to be there and he wanted to do everything he could without making it obvious that he didn't actually know anything.

The informant says that eventually he was compensated for his testimony.

it's important to point out that former detective jim rivard has and continues to deny these claims made by the informant he was in fact confronted on the show by ira with this information and he categorically denies falsifying this statement so i mean he's obviously still in prison now and he's still obviously trying to clear his name it's too much reasonable doubt and even with the snitch saying he lied he gave false testimony

Just frightened him, basically.

And that's where we'll wrap it up for today.

Now, to all this information that you've heard in this episode, you'd be forgiven for wondering how on earth Evaristo Salas Jr.

is still in prison after all these years.

Well, let's not forget, even though we know the snitch says his testimony was falsified, there's still the prosecution's other key witness.

The wife of the man who was killed that night, Ophelia Gonzalez, she would eventually pick Junior out of a photo line-up and was adamant in court that this young man pulled the trigger.

Although certain information that was later discovered after Junior was found guilty

has raised more than just a few eyebrows.
