Vanessa Champagne Paris, the transgender individual known legally as Porfilio Rodriguez, has been facing a charge of aggravated assault for threatening Caleb Orozco's sister, but tonight, he's closer to being acquitted if the complainant does not show up on the next adjournment.
His accuser is Golda Orozco and she says that he pulled a knife on her. The problem is that for the past 2 days, police have been trying to get Golda Orozco in court to testify against him. She and Paris didn't show up yesterday, and today, she didn't show up today either.
The sitting Magistrate, Herbert Panton, has marked February 9, 2015 as the last adjourned date. The prosecutor must start his case then, with Golda Orozco as the witness against Paris, or the case will be thrown out.
