Trial Begins for Julio Díaz Accused of Murdering a Member of the Masonic Lodge
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The trial against Julio Díaz, accused of murdering Robert Wise, a member of the Masonic Lodge in McAllen in 2023, continues with the presentation of new testimonies by the prosecution. During the proceedings, investigators testified about a series of fires and acts of vandalism reported at Masonic lodges in the Texas Valley, allegedly linked to the accused. Experts previously noted that traces of gasoline were found at one of the fire sites and concluded it was intentionally set. Another member of the fraternity recounted to the jury the moment he found Robert Wise dead, who had been shot multiple times outside the McAllen Masonic Lodge. One of the most emotional testimonies came from Wise's wife, who, visibly affected, recalled the last moments she shared with her husband on the day of his murder. So far, the prosecution has presented over 15 witnesses, while several others are waiting to testify. Prosecutors aim to conclude their witness presentations by Tuesday; if they do not succeed, the trial will continue on Wednesday with the remaining testimonies.
