José González

José Huertas González (born March 17, 1947 He was charged with murder in the death of wrestler Frank Goodish (Bruiser Brody), but stated he had acted in self-defense, and was acquitted. Critics of the acquittal alleged that the trial was marred by several contentious circumstances, which included key witnesses to the incident being unable to testify due to receiving their summonses after the trial had concluded, discrepancies in witness testimony (including allegations contrary to the testimony which event investors had corroborated), and the knife with which Goodish had been killed never having been recovered.

Wrestling career Since 1973, he was a wrestler and booker for the World Wrestling Council and wrestled for the International Wrestling Association. He held the Puerto Rico heavyweight title twelve times between 1977 and 2001, and the WWC Television Title five times between 1986 and 1991. He retired in 2006 to enter politics.

González began wrestling as The Prophet in Chicago. In 1972 he joined the WWF. González was acquitted of murder in 1989 after a jury accepted that he was acting in self-defense. Another wrestler, Tony Atlas, says he witnessed the stabbing in the locker room showers, but the knife used in the stabbing was not recovered. Tony Atlas and Dutch Mantel were called to testify, however the subpoenas were mailed late, arriving ten days after the trial ended. The investigation was criticised in Dark Side of the Ring and two books about Brody: Bruiser Brody (Crowbar Press) and Brody (ECW Press).

Home fire On August 11, 2014, a fire at González's home destroyed a car, a motorcycle and part of his house.
