Sole witness in 1988 murder says he identified wrong man as killer
Nearly 23 years after he fingered a Humboldt Park man as a killer, Orlando Lopez is now saying he identified the wrong suspect.
Jacques Rivera is serving an 80-year sentence for the 1988 murder of Felix Valentin, who was shot 11 times in a car.
Chicago Police detectives visited Valentin in the hospital twice, and he identified two different men as his shooter, including Rivera.
But Valentin died 18 days after the shooting, leaving Lopez as the only eyewitness. Lopez — then 12 — identified Rivera in a lineup and later pointed to him from the witness stand during his trial.
Last year, though, Lopez recanted his eyewitness identification after an investigator from Northwestern University Law School’s Center on Wrongful Convictions visited him at his Ohio home.
As they drove to a Starbucks to talk, Lopez started crying and said: “Redemption — this is all about redemption,” the investigator, Cynthia Estes, testified Thursday at a hearing on Rivera’s petition to reverse his conviction. Lopez “spilled his guts” and told Estes and her colleague that he had identified the wrong man, she testified.
