Gonzalez talked to the cops too much during the investigation. Then he didn't take the stand, keep his lies straight and testify on his own behalf to make an affirmative defense to the charges. Perhaps he couldn't on account of what the told the cops initially. Once an affirmative defense is made, it is extremely difficult for the prosecution to debunk it beyond reasonable doubt if there is even a shred of credibility in the defendant's story. Without reliable witnesses to make his case, it fell to Gonzales to do so, and he capitulated. The guy did everything wrong.
