Testifying through tears this afternoon Lissete Tejeda identified defendant Eric Moore as the man held her down while she was being robbed.
Three men broke into Tejeda’s home on 2012 bellevue ave. on August 19, 2008. A man with a gun was standing next to Tejeda when she woke up, she said. Two more men were in the bedroom. Tejeda says the man with the gun got on top of her, and duct taped her mouth and hands. Another man went through the drawers searching for a shoebox.
Moore’s brother, Charles, has pleaded guilty to first-degree burglary.
The third man has not been identified.
Tejeda said she recognized the man on top of her when he turned his face to the side. “I said, ‘Eric why are you doing this to me?’” Tejeda said while Assistant District Attorney Michael Kasmarek questioned her. ‘He said to me, “my name is not Eric bitch, that’s not my name.”’
An emotional Tejeda pointed to Eric Moore to identify him.
Tejeda said she knew it was Charles Moore going through the drawers, “I automatically knew who the other person was, ” she said. “His walk stands out.”
Tejeda said she gave them 500 dollars when they threatened her children.
“He told me not call the police or he will be back” Tejeda said when asked why she did not identify Moore immediately
Moore was visibly upset with Tejeda’s testimony, often shaking his head in disagreement.
“I’ve got nothing to hide,” He said to reporters outside the court room during a break before Tejeda testified.
