Homero Zamorano’s wife, Jennifer Duncan, offered a mini-interview to the New York Post in which she assured that her husband is “a good man”, despite the fact that he is accused of being responsible for trafficking a group of immigrants in a trailer in which 53 people died.
“I’m in shock, I mean, I just don’t know what to say about it,” he revealed.
Jennifer Duncan also indicated that her husband would never do anything to harm other people: “I know he would not do anything if he knew he would harm someone.”
While Duncan stands up for her husband, the San Antonio police have announced that Zamorano was arrested Monday night in a field outside San Antonio, Texas, very close to the trailer that was full of dead immigrants and others under difficult conditions.
They also indicated that, at the time of Zamorano’s capture, he was under the influence of methamphetamine: “He was heavily drugged with methamphetamine and had to be taken to the hospital”.
According to one report, the driver of the trailer tried to pass himself off as one of the survivors, however, he was photographed by a security camera, smiling behind the wheel when passing through a United States Border Patrol checkpoint in Encinal, Texas.
Homero Zamorano’s outlook is bleak since, according to federal prosecutors, he, as well as his other accomplices, they could spend the rest of their lives behind bars or they could face the death penalty.
Today Zamorano will have his first court hearing.
