"The Traffic Stop"
My next book will go into the detail of what became a very controversial traffic stop. There were only four persons that actually know what occurred that night in February, two eMe members and two police officers. One of the eMe members, Armando “Mundi” Varela, who is deceased, and Alfred “Alphy” Sosa who is currently serving a life sentence for the murder of Ellen Delia at Pelican Bay Prison in Northern California.
When I use the term controversial, it is used by some of the defendants and their attorneys. We (Joe Delia and I) told the true story as it unfolded, the defendants told their own version of what occurred. Unfortunately, there were some fellow members on the Monterey Park Police Department that got involved in the politics that had our department split in half. These members got wound up in the arrest in an attempt to destroy the Chief of Police, Jon Elder. Due to their testimony for the eMe members on trial, most all of Joe Delia’s testimony and mine was stricken from the transcript.
This case never even made it to trial. It was at the time the longest pre-trial case in the California courts, it went on for seven years. “Alphy” Sosa pled guilty and is still serving the sentence. The cases against the others were dismissed, except for Michael Delia who got off for time served. I think the reader will find this book very interesting.
