Union Pacific faces sanctions over perjured testimony in Texas case
Former Kenedy County deputy sheriff Michael Goss admitted in a June hearing that he signed a false October 2006 affidavit about a collision with a Union Pacific train and later provided false deposition testimony. He testified that Gilbert Benavides handed him about 4000 dollars cash, with no proven quid pro quo. Rosenthal and Sosa defend that payment was not tied to testimony. The matter ties to a May 2006 Tapia case Rosenthal filed for Tapia and others against Union Pacific in federal court, later settled. The Sosa case in 197th District Court accuses Union Pacific of negligent crossing maintenance and signals. The hearing addressing sanctions alleges paid-for perjured testimony introduced by Rosenthal in Sosa’s suit.
