Nelson Gonzalez, who served 22 years and was released in 2016, called on Foxx to seek charges against Guevara.

And I’m asking Kim Foxx to press charges, to pursue, to prosecute not only Guevara, but the other CPD agents that helped him convict these individuals,” he said.

He “remains in custody pending further court proceedings,” Foxx said in a news release.

At the state’s attorney’s office news conference, Foxx said Guevara had repeatedly pleaded the Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself “and then when asked questions, was not truthful.” She added that her office hasn’t actively pursued charges against Guevara yet.
