Day One: Prosecution; "Sammy Rivera"

Prosecution says that Sammy Rivera made it clear to officers that he was an eyewitness to the shooting, but was unwilling to give information of the identity of the shooter. She says all Rivera would say was that "the shooter was a black male wearing a white hoodie." She says that he knew "much more," but "failed to give that information to police."

She says that the main reason was that he was afraid for his family's safety, and of the police. She says he didn't trust the police, as in the hours following the death of Lindsey, the officers "treated him as if HE were Lindsey's assassin."

She said that for eight days, Rivera stuck to the story that he was an eyewitness to the shooting, but had no more info on the shooters identity.

That changed eight days later, she said, when, after Rivera consulted with two attorneys on the drug charges he faced, finally disclosed the identity of the shooter. Prosecution then pointed to Flaco, saying "THIS man...Wesley Molina-Cirino...also known as Flaco." saying Rivera was once a friend of Flaco.

She tells the jury to listen carefully to what Rivera says, as he is an important witness.

"Truth is, indeed, stranger than fiction," she tells them.
