You make a good point. What about the co-worker's report of Mr. Garcia waving a machete around? What about Mr. Garcia's Alzheimer's disease? Several people testified (for the prosecution) that Mr. Garcia was already in the phase of not recognizing people. What about the aggressive phase? Because NO defense was presented by the public defender, these questions and so many more have been left unanswered. Until young Cottam gets a REAL trial, with a defense, justice will not be served. Shame on the public defender's office!
