Trial judge weighs juvenile confession in Benavidez case
A new trial over Benavidez's murder confession hinges on whether police interrogation of the 16 year old violated juvenile rights. Judge Connally cautioned that hours of questioning followed a tense day after Blackwell's killing. The defense argues coercion and improper statement collection tainted the result.
Connally blocks use of Benavidez statement in trial
Texas judge ruled Friday that prolonged police questioning violated the Family Code, barring the confession from evidence in a new trial. Benavidez led police to Blackwell's car and two TV sets she allegedly took after the shooting, but no solid link to the crime emerged and she was found innocent. The decision concludes a three year legal fight, with Bowden calling it courageous and Augesen lamenting the ruling's limits on appeals.
