Michael Alvarado was convicted of second-degree murder and robbery for his alleged role in a 1995 killing. Alvarado, who was not the triggerman, was convicted in large part because of incriminating statements he made during a two hour interview with a police detective. Following his criminal conviction, Alvarado brought a petition in federal district court against Yarborough, the warden of the prison where he was being held.
