A Site For A Free Cuba
DURING A TRIAL IN MIAMI, THE PROSECUTING ATTORNEY CALLED HIS FIRST WITNESS, AN ELDERLY CUBAN ABUELITA TO THE STAND. HE APPROACHED HER AND ASKED, "SENORA SANCHEZ, DO YOU KNOW ME?"
SHE RESPONDED, "SI, I KNOW YOU MR. RODRIGUEZ. I KNOW YOU SINCE YOU WERE A MOCOSO, AND FRANKLY YOU'VE BEEN A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT TO ME, TO YOUR FAMILY AND TO YOUR COMMUNITY. YOU LIE, YOU CHEAT ON YOUR WIFE, AND YOU MANIPULATE PEOPLE, AND YOU THINK YOU'RE A BIG SHOT. THE ENTIRE CUBAN EXILE COMMUNITY KNOWS YOU ARE NADA, PURA BASURA. YES, I KNOW YOU WELL ."
THE LAWYER WAS STUNNED, NOT KNOWING WHAT ELSE TO DO, HE POINTED ACROSS THE ROOM AND ASKED, MRS. SANCHEZ, "DO YOU KNOW THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY?"
AGAIN SHE REPLIED, "CLARO QUE SI. I'VE KNOWN MR. WILLIAMS SINCE HE WAS A MOCOSO TOO. HE'S LAZY, AND HE HAS A DRINKING PROBLEM. HE CAN'T KEEP A NORMAL RELATIONSHIP WITH NOBODY, AND HE IS THE MOST SANGANO LAWYER IN THE STATE, AND NOT TO MENTION HE CHEATED ON HIS WIFE THREE TIMES. ONE OF THEM WAS YOUR WIFE. YOU REMEMBER? I KNOW MR. WILLIAMS. HIS MAMA IS NOT PROUD OF HIM EITHER."
THE DEFENSE ATTORNEY ALMOST DIED.
THE JUDGE THEN ASKED BOTH COUNSELORS TO APPROACH THE BENCH, AND IN A VERY QUIET VOICE SAID, "IF EITHER OF YOU COMEMIERDAS ASK HER IF SHE KNOWS ME, I'LL SEND YOU TO THE ELECTRIC CHAIR."
