My wife and I attended a conference that Erica Garza/Rodriguez spoke at. She gave an update on her situation. After the conference we got a chance to talk with her, Alehandra (mother) and Erica's friend Sherry. There was more to the story than what was told on dateline. Erica told us she was escorted by a friend who was a Sheriff in the Sacremento area. He was granted temp. police powers by the city where the Beliz criminal trial was held. Sherry's car window was smashed out. The Sheriff friend (also a former JW) was DF'd for obeying the law by reporting Erica's molestation to the police. Erica told us that twice family member of Beliz threatened to kill her if she did not shut up while at the courthouse. One of those threats the judge overheard. The other threat was made to Erica in the bathroom. Erica said the exact wordsto her were, "Shut up or I will kill you, bitch."
This kind of behavior is shocking coming from Witnesses of Jehovah, the most educated and clean orgnanization on the earth (NOT).
