The man was acquitted of the lesser charge (tampering with evidence) and the hung jury that prevented his acquittal on the main charge (interfering with a minor girl) was because of one single holdout. Yet that same person voted to acquit Sergeant Garcia on the evidence tampering charge. It doesn't make sense. In addition, in cases in which a hung jury voted 11 to 1 it's generally understood there is something off with that single holdout -- and this applies whether the majority voted to convict or acquit. After his trial was over, the Albuquerque Police Department reinstated Sergeant Garcia -- gave him his job back. Had they believed he was guilty of sexual interference with a minor, never in a million years would they have done that. Cops, like prisoners, do NOT like sexual offenders who prey on children, even if it is one of their own. I am not a police officer, nor am I affiliated with any law enforcement agency or person. I consulted a police detective in a city nowhere near New Mexico for an opinion; that police department is not known for corruption, as are some law enforcement agencies in New Mexico.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-81945670707034668582008-09-01T08:44:00.000-06:002008-09-01T08:44:00.000-06:00I heard one of the Los Lunas 9 put a call into one...I heard one of the Los Lunas 9 put a call into one of the crime lab detectives the night of the shooting....hmm.<BR/><BR/>I wonder why you would need to talk to a CSI guy for a suicide.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-9235535694949078722008-08-14T17:51:00.000-06:002008-08-14T17:51:00.000-06:00Wow.Anyone who thinks this is a sworn vs. civilian...Wow.<BR/><BR/>Anyone who thinks this is a sworn vs. civilian issue is simple minded. There are great 34's, and great civilians. Bad on both sides too. What a bunch of silly comments on this issue. Anyone who thinks 34 or civilians are exclusively trustworthy over the other needs to re-think their position. <BR/><BR/>As far as the work ethic in the lab goes, it is also not so simple. There are 34's with lax attitudes, and civilians with lax attitudes. There are 34's who wouldn't lift a finger unless they are on OT, and civilians who put in on call time and scene time without a slight bit of compensation. <BR/><BR/>I read Commander Feist's post. I agree with it. 100%. And to those in the Feild, shut your mouth unless you really know something first hand. You are a bunch of gossipping freaking 3rd grade girls. To those in the Lab (civilian and sworn), try getting out in the field to see what its like. No answers the phone over there? How can they be expected to be at your beck and call when they are in a lab examining evidence? That blogger should go back to Kindergarten. That's like a citizen whining because a 34 can't get to every call for service in 5 minutes. <BR/><BR/>To those who think the lab was better as a total sworn unit, get real. The lab is not there to "support" cops or DA's. It is there to conduct analysis for a wide variety of requesters. And it is best conducted as a mix of both.<BR/><BR/>Overall, besides the Commanders post, what a bunch of crap.

The whiners and complainers hardly ever show up for work and their management is usually asleep while they are absent. Some of these highly paid civilian "profesionals" at the lab can't even bear to put in an honest 40 hour week. Many of these lab civilians, not all, come in late, leave early and disappear to lunch for two hours. Their supervisors are usually asleep or off to who knows where. Wish I could be that overworked! You so called "pros" are a big part of the problem. Do you know what a work ethic is? You can't even get anyone to answer the phone over there!

Commander Feist talks like he is different and is an honest guy, but ask him about all the traffic tickets and cases he fixes for friends and relatives. So if he says the evidence room is ok, don't believe it. APD and the Mayor fix everything and we're expected to take it at face value.

The blogger claims that evidence was ”lost” and cases have been “dismissed”. I challenge that person to come forward with specific case numbers and types of evidence. The truth is that the Evidence Unit has lost NO evidence and NO case was dismissed due to the actions of the Evidence Room employees. <BR/><BR/>Your “EYES” tell you “the situation down at evidence has degraded to the state that it was when the scandal first broke four years ago.” This too is simply not true. Your “Eyes” are completely unaware of the fact that, in reality, the Evidence Room is a nationally recognized example of how an evidence room should be managed. The dedicated Civilian and Sworn employees of the Evidence Room toil relentlessly to meet and even exceed many of the national standards set forth by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA).<BR/><BR/>The personnel themselves undergo intense training and testing to ensure their competence. After attending a two-day seminar on Property Room Management, the newly trained evidence technicians work in the field for at least one year before they become eligible to take a certification exam. Upon passing the examination the evidence techs are certified as Property and Evidence Specialists by the International Association for Property and Evidence (IAPE).<BR/><BR/>How is the Lab’s science faulty? Please have your “Eyes” give us examples of how the science practiced at the APD Crime Lab has ever proven to be less than exemplary. Have your “Eyes” expound on how “the sloppiness over at evidence seems to have moved next door to the crime lab – APD’s CSI.”<BR/><BR/>Any individual or concerned organization, to include the webmaster, of this site, and blog contributors, along with the media, are welcomed to review each and every audit, independent or otherwise, that the APD has undergone to date. Also available for review are our policies, procedures, and inspections. These documents will reveal that the APD has nothing to hide and nothing for which to be ashamed. Furthermore, they will show that there is NO “problem again” in the APD Evidence Room nor is there one “brewing” in the Crime Lab.<BR/><BR/>The APD is also willing to engage in professional, informed discussions regarding any issue should any citizen have serious, substantiated concerns. Blogged, anonymous innuendos are not professional, they are not informed, they are not serious or substantiated, they resolve nothing, and perpetuate the vicious cycle of misinformation. The innuendos spewed on this website have served no constructive purpose. In fact the site has become a mere repository for mendacity.<BR/><BR/>Paul Feist, APD Scientific Evidence Division, CommanderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4662430175624645998.post-61743867909572789812008-08-07T09:03:00.000-06:002008-08-07T09:03:00.000-06:0011:23 post"Your writing skill need some work."
