  • In 1988, Folsom Prison inmate Angry Bear Nieto was shot in the back by guard Moses Guerro. There had been several conflicts between Guerro and Angry Bear, including one in which Guerro was reprimanded for interfering with Native American religious rites. Angry Bear9s father, Tony Nieto, immediately began an investigation that has now lasted eight years. Prison spokespersons and prison doctors could not agree on a story. The first story was that Angry Bear was shot in the chest as he attempted to stab another inmate. When the autopsy declared the chest wound to be an exit wound and the fact no knife was found at the scene came out, they had to come up with other explanations. With the support of a state senator,Tony Nieto went to the local prosecutor who conducted an investigation that consisted of asking a PRISON GUARD to interview Tony9s witnesses. A second state investigation by the Attorney General9s office involved asking the original prosecutor what he knew. The FBI did no better, avoiding all Tony9s witnesses and 3overlooking2 the inconsistencies in the autopsy report. After all these frustrating cover-ups, Tony is still not giving up. He is still writing letters and leading protests. He is currently participating in the 3Coverup Quilt2 project that memorializes victims of cover-ups and draws attention to their cases. As he puts it, 3Justice may be delayed, but justice will not be denied.2
