"DENVER — A Salt Lake City attorney's quest to prove his brother was murdered while in federal custody received a boost from judges in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, who expressed serious concern over an alleged government cover-up of the case.
"'This is a terrible case," said 10th Circuit Judge Robert Henry during oral arguments Wednesday. "The federal government doesn't look well for it."
"Attorney Jesse Trentadue said in his investigation into his brother's August 1995 death in a federal holding facility in Oklahoma City, he ran across what he claims was a concerted effort by the FBI and U.S. Department of Justice to cover up the circumstances surrounding the death of Kenneth Trentadue.
"Jesse Trentadue claims his brother was killed during interrogation by the FBI who thought, in a case of mistaken identity, he was a suspect in the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building that took the lives of 168 adults and children.
"Trentadue says he ran across evidence that government workers had destroyed documents and had encouraged witnesses to lie about what took place, at the instruction of top Justice Department officials, including the department's solicitor general, whose job it is to police corruption within the department.
"Trentadue filed a petition with the President's Council on Integrity and Efficiency, asking for a formal investigation. Not having heard from the council for months, Trentadue was told that his case was dismissed but given no reason. Under the Freedom of Information Act, Trentadue petitioned to see the evidence the council was given but was rejected.
"Before a 10th Circuit panel on Wednesday, Trentadue said his case goes to the heart of open government and attempts by government officials to keep things hidden.
"'I think I'm here for the benefit of all people in this country," Trentadue said. He held up a copy of the report on his complaint given to him by the Justice Department to show the judges that all 54 pages were blacked out but for 55 total words.
