Illegal alien's lawyer makes defense for client accused of murdering deputy.
The lawyer for a man charged with killing a Kenosha County sheriff’s deputy says he should not be convicted of intentional homicide.
Frederick Cohn told a jury yesterday that Ezequiel Lopez-Quintero, 45, was so drunk the night of the killing he could not remember what happened.
Cohn said his client was upset that night, because he thought his wife was cheating on him. So he had cocaine and two bottles of tequila, and his level of intoxication was twice the state’s minimum.
Cohn said Lopez-Quintero was “bombed out of his mind” and there’s no way he should be guilty of intentional homicide.
Cohn said the defendant concedes what happened, and he would do little to cross-examine the state’s witnesses.
Lopez-Quintero is an illegal immigrant with up to seven aliases. He did not have a driver’s license the night he was stopped.
Great defense. I'll just get really wasted and go kill a cop. Then claim I was having a bad day, my mommy didn't love me, I was socio-economically deprived, I had a zit on my nose that day and it pushed me over the edge. Actually, at least the ACCUSED murdering asshole isn't denying he did it, only that he shouldn't get convicted of the higher charge.
