Uh, we also found a clean set

of fingerprints on the weapon...

and based on that evidence,

obtained a search warrant.

We returned to the house where Detective

Mackay was stationed and we served the warrant.

- You conducted a search?

- Yes, sir.

- What did you find?

- We foundjewelry... watches and rings...

uh, that kind of stuff...

in a shoe box in a closet.

We also found four women's handbags

with wallets in them.

The wallets contained driver's licenses...

social security cards and food stamp cards...

all belonging to the Southside victims.

- Are these the items you're referring to?

- Yes, sir.

And they were all found in the home

of the defendant, Mr. Hector Andujar?

- Yes, sir.

- And then what happened?

We arrested him

and then we Mirandized him.

What do you mean

when you say you Mirandized him?

Uh, we read him his rights.

We told him he had a right to an attorney...

that one will be appointed for him

if he couldn't afford one...

that he had a right to remain silent.

Uh, you know, his rights. All of'em.

And then what happened?

He confessed. Now, we told him

he didn't have to say anything...

that he could have a lawyer, all that stuff.

He said he wanted to confess

and waived his Miranda rights.

We asked him ifhe knew what he was doing,

ifhe understood what waiving his rights meant.

He said, yes, he understood...

and he confessed to the killings.

We took him downtown and booked him.

He repeated his confession to a stenographer.

Thank you, Detective Wiggan.

No further questions, Your Honor.

Yeah. Uh, Detective Wiggan...

I'd like to go over

some of your previous testimony if I may.

Of course.

Now, you stated

that you didn't search the garbage can...

in front of Mr. Andujar's home

because you didn't have a warrant.

Yes, sir.

Right. So you waited

for the contents of the garbage can...

to be deposited in the garbage truck?

- Yes, sir.

- Hmm.

- You then searched the contents in the garbage truck itself?

- Yes, sir.

Okay. Detective...

tell me exactly

what kind of garbage truck it was.

What?

What kind of garbage truck was it?

I don't know. It was a garbage truck...

the kind that comes up the street

and collects garbage.

Well, let's be a little bit

more specific than that, shall we?

Was it a big open truck?

Was it an enclosed truck?

Was it the kind of truck

that had a big scoop in the back?

- Was it a...

- Yes, that kind with a... with a scoop...

Huh. The kind with a scoop.

- That kind?

- Yeah.

Uh-huh. Now, did you search

the contents of the scoop...

or did you wait

until the contents of the scoop...

were dumped into the body of the truck?

Well, we, uh, searched the scoop
