Meet Pedro Diaz. He's not just a mean drunk, he's a homicidal drunk. Assistant Cook County Public Defender Julie Harmon, however, said there were gaping holes in the evidence against Diaz. It doesn't exist. She said Wanic's own report of Diaz's confession is not backed by a written statement, videotaped statement, or even notes.
Innocent people go to jail.
Diaz's brother, Rudy Diaz, said he was surprised by the verdict because he felt Harmon had raised enough reasonable doubt. That's very untrue. Larry Hearn asked Tuesday during a phone interview from Texas. This was premeditated, they mutilated the body. Karyn Slover was last seen alive Sept. 27, 1996.
