STATEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF PRETRIAL

NOW COMES the defendant, Cirino Gonzalez, by counsel, David H. Bownes, and

respectfully identifies potential issues with respect to trial in the above-captioned matters.

1. The Admissibility “Co-conspirator’s Statements” after Mr. Gonzalez left the Brown

residence in June of 2007. US v. Serrano, 870 F.2d 1 (1st Cir. 1989).

2. The admissibility of the statements made by the co-defendants, while in custody, or in

the alternative made to law enforcement agents. Crawford v. Washington, 1245 S.Ct. 1354

(2004).

3. The admissibility of a whole range of weapons and explosive devices that can not be

linked in any manner to this defendant. The defendant is awaiting forensics.

4. It is submitted that while Mr. Riley has a right to proceed pro se and has been afforded

a stand-by counsel, that situation presents procedural and substantive difficulties.

5. This preliminary pretrial statement is intended to identity only preliminary issues for

purposes of the pretrial conference currently scheduled for January 8, 2008.


Respectfully Submitted,
Cirino Gonzalez,
By His Attorney,
