Okay, before getting into the bombing (terrorist) trial, here’s more from Karla, this time from her own words. First, she admits that she was caught using drugs before the trial but the government chose to ignore it. While in the witness protection program she used drugs and required to take regular tests. Still, the government chose to have her testify. She said at one time she was injecting cocaine into her system at 15 -minute intervals. She admits to being a former prostitute.

So now the stage has been set. Karla has been adequately rewarded for rolling for either lying or telling the truth or some combination of both; the feds have applied pressure on Bonnie Anders by incarcerating both her and her daughter so she’s ready to flip. And those are the two main witnesses against Jerry and his family during the bombing trial.

I’ve already shown that Karla should not be believed so that leaves Bonnie. Go back to the last post and read about Bonnie, look at the letters she wrote. Then make up your mind.

The trial begins in the next post.

Here’s more background before getting into the terrorist trial----read part one. Karla, ex-wife, testified but another former employee, and friend, also testified for the feds. Her name is Bonnie Anders. She was a wire-tap expert. When Karla was tried in Kentucky for selling drugs, she implicated Bonnie, who was her best friend a short time earlier, send Bonnie to prison.

But before that happened she and Jerry had several phone conversations which unknown to him she recorded. The feds later confiscated the recording and what I’m writing below are snippets of what transpired. At this time Jerry has only been through the trial where he accepted a plea. Soon after going to prison, he and Karla divorce and that’s when she goes to Kentucky and begins selling drugs to support her habit.

I’ll begin the recording ( made in Feb, 1988) where Bonnie is talking about Karla’s testimony in the Kentucky trial. She’s reading a newspaper.

Bonnie: “Cocaine dealer expected to testify. Karla Espinal, whose recent testimony helped convict five people on federal cocaine charges is expected to take the witness stand today at another drug trial. Ms. Espinal,28, will be the government’s key witness against two of her former friends on trial for trafficking in cocaine.”

This entire conversation goes on in rather crude language with Bonnie discussing Karla’s love of coke and whoring. She graphically describes Karla’s fetishes and what a disgusting person she is. She talks about Karla’s willing to lie about friends and tell the feds exactly what they want to hear.

The next thing I’ll include is a letter Bonnie wrote to friend in July, 1989. By now Bonnie is in prison, thanks to Karla. Again, I’ll include only parts of the letter. She’s in the middle of a complaint when she says, “Sometimes I feel like joining the government’s lies and going home—( they wanted her to say something against Jerry, to back up what Karla has already said) but I just won’t lower myself to that.”

Her statement about government lies is important because it was to a friend with no hard connection to Jerry. In my opinion, after reading a lot of material, she was being truthful. It is apparent from this and subsequent letters that she is not doing well in prison---her daughter is also in jail, thanks to Karla---and is susceptible to further government pressure. And that is why she eventually testified against Jerry because the feds released both her and her daughter.

I’ll try to explain how this plays out in other posts and include her testimony. But to fully understand how the federal prosecutors will do anything to win, you need to understand Karla Espinal as  a person and then ask yourself how anyone could grant her immunity to testify at a dog trial, much less a human. Whether people are guilty or not, she should not be allowed as a witness.

I haven’t posted in a while because of some concerns about the blog. Should I continue it or not? My concern is because organizations follow it and I’ve revealed things that might not be in my best interest until the book is published.  Yes, after all this time I’ve finally accepted that there are some who might not want Jerry’s story told. Why? Beats me. It’s old news, the CIA and cocaine. So I’ve chewed on this for weeks and have come up with the only thing that makes any sense to me. Someone doesn’t want me to write about the trials. For months I tried to get copies of the 30 year- old transcripts and at each juncture met a dead-end. Then, out of the blue someone told me they had copies I could have. Bingo! Reading them opened up a new avenue for the book. I’ve mentioned some of this in previous blogs. It’s never made any sense why the government would allow a confessed murderer full immunity to send Jerry and his family to prison. Could this be why people are so interested in me?

Okay, so what next? I know from sources that the DEA has been asking about me. But that agency has nothing to do with the trial. The CIA has assured me it’s okay to write the story. So who’s left? How about the Department of Justice? Maybe the FBI? Who knows? All I know is that I’ve been concerned about the wisdom of the blog.

I started the blog to share my experiences. Little did I know that the government would be interested. Naïve? Yes, without a doubt.

But all that said, I’m going to keep on with the blog. To hell with them. If it raises the possibility that Jerry’s family was sent to prison on the lies of an admitted murderer, drug addict and prostitute, that’s good. If they want to pressure my agent and publisher, I’ll live with that.  Okay, that’s about it.
