Judge to Decide if VP Indictments to Stick(Prosecutor has tried since 2006)

RAYMONDVILLE - New details into the indictments against Vice President Dick Cheney, former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, and State Senator Eddie Lucio Jr. This morning Judge Manual Banales will decide if those charges will stick, and District Attorney Juan Guerra says he'll be at that hearing schedule for 10:30 a.m.

Guerra first found evidence of wrongdoing two years ago, and claims his political and legal trouble brought on by other Willacy County officials was in response to his investigation. "I have had this information since '06 . But I was not being allowed to bring that information forward, because the problem was all these people were involved. And so I was being made a mockery of the whole thing, because they did not want me to investigate," said Guerra.

All of these indictments are based on murder charges against the GEO Group. The company runs private prisons in Willacy County, where an inmate was killed in his cell in 2001.

Juan Guerra told us he had to investigate this case in secret because he was afraid he might be arrested. Guerra also says these charges are serious, and he's not embarrassed for Willacy County or himself. He says, "I would have liked to have done it back in '06 when I wanted to. But unfortunately I was kept from doing it. So I went ahead and just waited until the coast got cleared and everyone assumed I had let it go. But I always had a lot of this information. I just needed to bring all of the witnesses which was what I was doing for the past four months."
