She articular Winston as her declared aggressor afterwards acquainted him in a new chic at the alpha of the division in January 2013. Angulo confused the case to open/inactive a ages later, and it backward there until a anchorman approved TPD annal in November of that year.
Though antecedent shortcomings in the analysis accept been reported, aboriginal by the New York Times in April 2014, Angulo says there were added accomplish he could accept taken in the ages amid Kinsman’s antecedent address and if she articular him.
Angulo said in the canicule afterwards Kinsman appear her declared assault, he collection about the breadth for hours and articular Legacy Suites as the acceptable area she had recalled. At that time, she had not articular Winston as her declared attacker.
“Did it cantankerous your apperception to ask the administrator whether or not he knew somebody at Legacy Suites that akin the concrete description?” asked John Clune, one of Kinsman’s attorney.
“No, sir,” Angulo replied.

He said he approved to clue down the cab disciplinarian who collection Winston, Kinsman and two added football players from the bar to Winston’s apartment, but it was “sporadic at best” to analyze cabs by GPS and that use of FSU cards “didn’t advice any.” Afterwards that, the cab aggregation beatific out an email to see if anyone recalled anything.
Angulo accustomed not aggravating to get surveillance video from Potbelly’s, adage that it “absolutely” should accept been done.
“I relied on added people’s advice that Potbelly’s does not record,” Angulo said. “And that is — they all knew, I fabricated that mistake. If they do record.”

Kinsman articular him to Angulo, adage that she had appear with a apprentice football amateur called Chris that night.
“At the time I absolutely didn’t anticipate he would be that cogent because she said that she apperceive who he was and hadn’t affair (sic) apparent him aback she larboard him at the bar,” Angulo said.
Asked how difficult it would accept been to analyze a apprentice football amateur called Chris and account him, Angulo replied, “It wouldn’t accept been harder at all.”
After Kinsman articular Winston to the TPD, investigator Paul Osborn, who was acceptable with the analysis in January 2013 while Angulo was convalescent from knee surgery, aboriginal approved to acquaintance Winston by phone. TPD next heard from Tim Jansen, Winston’s attorney, who said he would not accomplish his applicant accessible for questioning.
State advocate Willie Meggs has aback criticized the accommodation to alarm avant-garde rather than aggravating to allege to Winston afterwards avant-garde notice.
“I would accept rather gone to him,” Angulo said. “But it’s not aberrant either so…”
In aboriginal 2013, Angulo did not seek a accreditation for buzz annal from Winston, Casher or Ronald Darby, addition football amateur with them that night. He did seek one from Kinsman to try to balance a bulletin on her buzz cogent her to go alfresco in the hopes that would advance to a suspect. That bulletin wasn’t recovered.
Angulo refuted a account from Patricia Carroll, Kinsman’s aunt and her advocate at the time of the analysis in 2013, that he had told her “Tallahassee was a big football boondocks and the victim needs to anticipate continued and harder afore proceeding adjoin him because she will be raked over the dress-down and her activity will be fabricated miserable.”
Of that January 2013 conversation, Angulo said, “I don’t anamnesis anytime adage that. It was her apropos that her activity would be fabricated miserable, and she was anxious that it would go public, and that’s the affidavit she said the ancestors assassin her or was accepting her acquaintance me basically.”
The accompaniment attorney’s appointment took over the analysis in November 2013 afterwards the address became about known. DNA calm from Kinsman’s shorts akin Winston’s, but Jansen said the animal appointment was consensual.
Meggs appear on December 2013 that Winston, who now plays for the NFL's Tampa Bay Buccaneers, would not be charged. He was aswell begin not amenable of actionable FSU’s cipher of conduct afterward a audition in December 2014.
Angulo was asked to affirm in that audition but said in the degradation that his superiors told him not to.
Since the case concluded, Angulo larboard TPD’s appropriate victims unit. In the deposition, he estimated administration three or four animal advance investigations per ages during the two years he was a detective in that department. He estimated 5 or six went to trial.
In January 2014, Angulo confused to acreage crimes and in March of this year he confused to emergency car operations coordinator with the department.
Asked how Carroll’s account about him afflicted him, Angulo said, “… A lot. I enjoyed some of what I was accomplishing in SVU; I enjoyed the ICAC part, Internet crimes adjoin children, I was actual acceptable at it, I anticipate awfully acceptable at it. But that comes with blockage SVU and I acquainted like the publicity of all of this, if a victim saw me and recalled my name, that it would — she would not assurance me. She would — I could not be as able to her because she would not accessible up to me because of all of this. So I fabricated the harder accommodation and asked to go aback to acreage and crimes.”
