In a civil court case currently being heard by Judge Roger Beauchesne, during testimony by CHP Officer Michael Brush, his written report came under scrutiny when attorney David Renteria introduced the Officers written report of the accident in which he stated he relied on the Coroner's report as a basis for his position that Alvarez was responsible for the accident.
Unfortunately for the Officers credibility the Coroners report was dated Jan. 27th 2006, but Officer Brush's report was dated nine days BEFORE the Coroners on Jan.18th 2006.It seemed like a very polite way to call the Officer a liar.
This and other questions asked during todays testimony make us wonder, did the Officer do a sloppy and incomplete job of his report?
How much more of the information in the report did he invent?
We'll continue to follow this case with interest
