There's a lot to do here. You can splash in the surf, eat like a king, dance until dawn, sail a boat at sunset. According to the 2010 census, there's 2,496,435 people who call this city home. And when one of them dies, that's when I go to work; I write a blog.
The story you are about to read is true. The names have not been changed. The defendant is presumed innocent.
On October 7, 2013, an Arthur Hearing was held at the Richard E. Gerstein Justice Building. This is how it unfolded as tweeted by Herald reporter David Ovalle:

In court for missing body Arthur hearing. Actually this is my first hearing of any substance in Judge Hendon's. Det. Juan Segovia up first
David Ovalle
Det. Segovia says Maqueira, laughing and mocking, constantly challenged them to show him Raquel's body.

Alex Michaels bellowing re: why MDPD never records most interviews (this case, post-sworn statement). Judge calmly overrules objection

For leverage in interrogation, Det. Segovia showed Maqueira that his daughter was in office talking to cops. "He looked like he saw a ghost"

Alex Michaels objected. "Not sure the detective is familiar with ghosts ... what they look like," Michaels said.

Prosecutor asks about unnamed jailhouse informant. "You can call him Rat No. 1," Alex Michaels says. Judge shakes head, says nothing

Alex Michaels just went ballistic, pointing out Maqueira's phone located at scene of vanishing, not neccesarily defendant himself

To explain why his phone pinged in area of estranged wife's disappearance, Maqueira claimed that he gave it to her as an impromptu gift.

This is one of those rare, but not unheard of cases of a murder prosecution without a body. The arthur hearing didn't conclude on Monday.
See You In Court.
Hendon up for election...dude gets detained.
ReplyDeleteHad Segovia as Lead Det. in a trial last week. Segovia said Photo Line ups are more reliable then DNA in IDing perps
ReplyDeleteAnyone up for election.....everyone gets detained.
ReplyDeleteSegovia is a hack. Shitty police work and making up theories is his idea of investigation.
ReplyDeletesegovia will be indicted one day. dirty lying cop.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure about those population numbers? Sounds like the number for the county and not City of Miami proper. But it does not matter. South Florida was never defined by its population unlike, say, China. We have images:
ReplyDelete1. 1960's: Jackie Gleason and the June Taylor Dancers.
2. 1970's: 17-0.
3. 1980's: Miami Vice
4. 1990's: Courtbroom
5. 200'0's: South Beach Excess
6. 2010's: The Heat
