    After decades without justice, Irene Garza’s case finally moves forward. Now in his 80s, John Feit is living in Arizona but is extradited to Texas when a grand jury indicts him for Irene’s murder. The trial begins in late 2017, and the lead prosecutor on Irene’s case brings witnesses forward to paint a picture of what happened the Holy Saturday evening when Feit heard her confession. After two weeks, the jury deliberates for more than seven hours before finding Feit guilty. Snow falls in McAllen, a rare occurrence, as Feit faces his sentencing.

    McAllen police chief Victor Rodriguez recounts when he first met a key witness in Irene’s case, Father O’Brien in an unlikely place – a state prison in Huntsville, Texas. After submitting their discoveries to the DA’s office, Rudy and Victor feel hopeless because of comments made by the district attorney and his lead prosecutor. By 2003, the grand jury decides not to indict Feit in Irene’s murder, leaving a wave of disappointment again for Irene. A whole decade passes until a new district attorney decides to take on Irene’s case one more time.

Ranger Rudy Jaramillo and his partner reopened Irene’s case, finding an unlikely witness to John Feit’s confession–an ex-monk. During the same time as Irene’s second investigation, the Catholic church was under scrutiny.

I guess pigs do fly!

This podcast about Irene Garza was done so well. What a talented group of people who brings this to the community. So much detail. I felt like I was there.
I was so blown away by the perseverance of the law enforcement officials who never gave up. They were all super interesting to listen to….you could still hear the emotion in their voices. Rudy Jaramillo, Victor Rodriguez, and all the others who just wouldn’t quit!
Big kudos to the prosecutor that fought against all odds to see justice served.
So sad how seemingly good people could and will work together to cover up evil because of power and money. Religious institutions should be held accountable for what is done and what is covered.
God rest Irene Garza’s soul and bring peace to her family and those who love her.
