There are ways to respond to police when you're being questioned about possibly sexually abusing a kid. Defense lawyers would probably not suggest using Raymond Garcia's template.
Garcia, 24, was identified in a police lineup by a San Antonio mom and her 8-year-old child, who said he was the man who broke into their apartment and sexually abused the boy.
To which Garcia replied: Hey, I was kinda high on meth -- not too high, you understand, but high. Oh, and if the kid had been a girl I woulda never touched her.Verrry subtle way to build the foundaiton blocks for your defense, dude.
An affidavit describes events, the San Antonio Express-News reports.
__Garcia allegedly told police he'd injected methamphetamine shortly before he wandered into the apartment, but apparently remembered what happened.
__"He attempted to mitigate his actions on the issue of the drug use," the affidavit states, "but admitted that the major portion of the high only lasted a short time, and that if he would have had to drive a motor vehicle, he would have considered himself capable."
But he wasn't finished with explanations quite yet, KENS noted:
__According to the warrant, the suspect also admits to inappropriately touching the boy "just two or three times."
__According to the arrest document, Garcia also claims he would not have acted on the victim if the child had been female.
A true gentleman.
