I'm sorry Mary.
My multitudinous words accomplished nothing.
Detective Thomas Clipper shit on your life with his mishandling of a computer video that likely would have proven Marisa Govea Hernandez made no effort to look for you after plowing through you with her vehicle. She continued talking on the phone for nearly four minutes after killing you.
Still. She struck you with her vehicle and did not stop to render aid. Was she impaired? We will never know since BPD Officer Nino allowed her son, Cameron County Sheriff's Deputy Marin Hernandez, to explain what he thought happened on FM 803 that night, only taking her ID through the doorway.
Her boys, Marin and Mario, well-rehearsed and in uniform, explained how she "closed her eyes," then searched for your body. They likely lied to protect their mother.
Judge Banales was not your friend. He's been involved in two vehicle/pedestrian accidents and got off scot-free. Giving you justice would have been ruling against himself, but he lacked the courage or honesty to recuse himself.
I'm sorry you had such an ineffictive prosecutorial team; 29 year old Nathaniel Navey and the inept Oscar Guzman. They did not command the courtroom or get justice for you. Neither knew how to use a microphone or give closing arguments.
I'm so sorry.
