COULD YOU CONVICT THIS FATHER? David Barajas Murder Trial

[Duchess]

What about the cousins claim that he was following the dude to make sure he got home safe? Any witnesses support that?

I haven't seen it reported anywhere but I'll enclose their testimony so you can see what they had to say about that -

Tellez and Banda's half-brother, Antonio Rodriguez, who also testified, said they were following Banda home in another vehicle after a night of drinking when the crash occurred.

Details of Rodriguez's testimony also contradicted his cousin's account of the night, including whether Barajas was inside or outside of the truck after the crash.

Both men admitted to leaving the scene after a confrontation with Barajas. Neither called 911 and did not contact authorities until days after the incident. During their testimony, the men told jurors they were in shock and expressed remorse.

"What happened was horrific," Tellez said from the witness stand, his voice cracking. "It was horrible."
