Albert Vasquez hasn't added a story.
I am Albert's girlfriend of 3 years, Michele. I am Albert's main line of communication and his biggest supporter. He has been put into a dark and lonely situation here in San Antonio. On Easter he and a close friend ran out of gas on their way home and were approached by some police officers to see if they needed assistance. Things however got twisted and serious very fast. The police seemed to have decided what they thought of the guys(Albert&friend)'s characters. The officers attitude towards them changed completely once they saw them side by side. Muscle shirts and tattoos, they were profiled as suspected gang members(neither is affiliated in any way) Things got very serious very fast as the officers faultily determined that our Guys fit the description of some suspects in a recent robbery in the area. They were arrested and taken in, questioned separately their stories "didn't match up" and they were booked. In Bexar County this is not far fetched at all.
The general goal here is to close cases. Which furthers my plea to help get a reasonable amount of money together to possibly bond Albert out to better his chances of dismissal or acquittal. Bexar County Jail is on the top ten worst jails in Texas. It is a very very cruel and miserable place to be which prosecutors use as fuel to get defendants to sign plea agreements prematurely just so the defendant can see some hope of escaping the hell hole BCADC is. I do not want Albert to have to even face such a choice under those circumstances. There will be a couple of preliminary court dates where his attorney Ted Woods will be motioning for bond reduction. It will be at least 8 months before this case even goes up before the grand Jury. 8 months before the prosecutor will possibly release what evidence is proposed. It could be up to a year. And every month between now and then every court date he has will be an offer for a reduced sentence in return for a guilty plea possibly an offer for 8-10 years of which by Texas standards he would serve at least 50% of but more likely 85% of. Cornered into a fate such as that because it seemed like your best bet. It's inhumane and unjust. Please friends and Family seriously consider this cause and the information I've provided and consider the guy you all know... Current bond is $75,000, we hope to get it dropped to at least $30,000 of which it would take $1700 to get him out!!
