He was singled out from line-ups, and was repeatedly identified by bank workers as the guilty man; clerks at the BBV bank in the town of Becerreá trembled when they saw him again. Rodríguez Díaz is an attorney, which for some would be proof of his innocence, for others of his guilt. But he was, in fact, innocent.
