Rose Rosario Translates Garbage Truck Confession That Sealed Conviction

Описание: Rose Rosario Translates Garbage Truck Confession That Sealed Conviction

Day 4 of the Florida v. Soto-Escalera death penalty trial brought devastating testimony from translator Rose Rosario. With 21 years of experience, Rosario spent 110 hours translating August 24, 2018 garbage truck recordings - captured one day after Tania Wise's murder. Unlike the FBI's earlier translation showing planning, Rosario revealed the aftermath: defendant's own words about blood on clothes, multiple baths, and cleaning hands with brake cleaner.

The translated conversation included the damning statement "I had it all over the clothes, but without the evidence, they can't do nothing." The defendant discussed taking two baths at the victim's house and using brake cleaner on his hands. Most chilling: his statement that "no one is going to be looking for her" - knowledge only the killer would have. These admissions led to a guilty verdict after just one hour of deliberation.

This testimony completed the prosecution's centerpiece evidence. FBI translator Norma Campos had presented the planning recordings ("I'm going to blow her brains out"), while Rosario captured consciousness of guilt. The defense challenged only peripheral issues - a date typo and Rosario's payment - but couldn't dispute the translation's accuracy. The recordings' poor quality actually strengthened the case by justifying professional translation.

For death penalty purposes, these statements establish crucial aggravating factors under Florida's new 8-12 jury threshold. The casual discussion of evidence disposal demonstrates the cold, calculated nature required by statute.
