Raymond Cuevas and Jose Paredes — both members of the so-called Mexican Mafia — worked in five jurisdictions over four years as professional jailhouse informants. During that time, they used death threats to get information and were heavily compensated by law enforcement agencies, including the district attorney’s office and sheriff’s department in Orange County, California. They were paid $335,000 and got, among other things, an Xbox and leniency on charges as compensation.
Cuevas and Paredes are representative of the kind of informants Orange County has worked with for more than 30 years to extract information and confessions from jailed defendants, according to an American Civil Liberties Union lawsuit. They were used in more than 300 undercover operations.
Prosecutors used informants to do what would have been illegal for them to do directly — question individuals awaiting trial without their lawyer present and, even worse, use threats of murder and violence to coerce confessions.
