SUSPECT ARRESTED IN MAN�S STABBING
By RICHARD FAUSSET

A 33-year-old homeless man was stabbed just after midnight Wednesday as
he sat on a Glendale bus bench, authorities said. His alleged attacker
was arrested nearby.
James Young was at Glendale Avenue and East Windsor Road when he was
approached by a man, Glendale police said.
The man spoke to Young in Spanish, which the victim did not understand,
and then stabbed Young once, puncturing his lung and stomach, police
said.
Young called police from a nearby pay phone. When officers arrived,
they found Young bleeding severely.
Officers arrested Jose Fercano, 22, of Highland Park a few blocks away.
Young identified Fercano as his attacker before the injured man was
taken by ambulance to Glendale Memorial Hospital and Health Center,
said Burbank Police Sgt. Rick Young, who is not related to the victim.
Young was reported in stable condition, hospital officials said.
A knife was found near the scene, Sgt. Young said.
Fercano was charged with attempted murder and is in custody at Glendale
City Jail.
He is scheduled to be arraigned Friday in Glendale Municipal Court.
Police are uncertain of the motive for the attack.

INFORMANT SAYS PAIR CONFESSED TO KILLING CLERK
Trial: Witness testifies that two Santa Paula men apparently shot woman
because she sounded alarm.
By ANNA GORMAN, Times Staff Writer
Murder defendants Alfredo Hernandez and Jose Castillo confessed to
shooting Santa Paula shop owner Mirna Regollar less than an hour after
the crime was committed, a police informant testified Monday.
Rene Moreno, 26, who is now in the witness protection program, said
that he went to the home of his longtime friend, Jose �Pepe� Castillo,
on June 2, 1998, soon after he heard on the scanner what had happened
at the market.
Moreno said Castillo and �Freddie� Hernandez, both 22, who was living
in Castillo�s garage in Santa Paula at the time, told him �they had
killed a lady at Junior�s Market,� and showed him the guns, a .22-
caliber revolver and a .32-caliber semiautomatic.
Responding to questions by Deputy Dist. Atty. Don Glynn, Moreno told
the jury that the pair said they wanted to rob the market to pay for
drugs.
�They were hard up for money, so they went to the store . . . to see if
they could get some,� Moreno said during the second day of Hernandez�s
murder trial.
Castillo pleaded guilty in March to planning the robbery and shooting
the 25-year-old Regollar at the market she and her husband owned.
Castillo is expected to testify against Hernandez today.
Prosecutors say Castillo shot Regollar in the back, and that Hernandez
fired the fatal shot into her head.
Hernandez is being tried for murder, attempted robbery and commercial
burglary, charges that could bring him life in prison without the
possibility of parole.
During his testimony Monday, Moreno recounted what his former friends
told him about the shooting.
* * *
Hernandez and Castillo went into the store on Oak Street and saw
Regollar stacking shelves in the back, Moreno said. When they told her
to go up to the register to get the money, she followed their orders.
But then she pressed a silent alarm.
�I guess they shot the lady because she pushed an alarm button,� Moreno
said.
Moreno added that both Hernandez and Castillo shaved their heads the
day of the shooting. �They both wanted to change their appearance,� he
said. After the two shaved their heads, Moreno said, he then drove them
to the Ventura County Government Center so Castillo could put himself
on the court�s calendar as a possible alibi.
Robert Schwartz, one of the two defense attorneys representing
Hernandez, attacked Moreno�s credibility throughout his cross-
examination. �With all due respect, you�re lying through your teeth,
aren�t you?� he asked the witness.
Moreno shot back, �No, that�s your job.�
Schwartz confronted Moreno about possible inconsistencies in his
testimony: on what time he went to Castillo�s house, the size and color
of the .22-caliber gun, when Hernandez and Castillo shaved their heads,
and what Hernandez was wearing that day.
Moreno admitted lying to the police in the past, but �not in this
situation.�
* * *
Schwartz also questioned Moreno�s truthfulness, saying he cut a deal
with the Ventura County district attorney�s office. Moreno has a
criminal record of his own. And in return for testifying and taping
conversations with Castillo and Hernandez, Moreno said representatives
in the district attorney�s office told him they would try to help him
get his sentences reduced in two separate cases.
Moreno was also moved out of Ventura County under the witness
protection program, which provided about $1,500 per month for rent,
food and other expenses.
While he was wearing a wire, Moreno succeeded in getting Castillo to
talk about the shooting of Regollar, he said, but he couldn�t do the
same with Hernandez. On one occasion, Hernandez called him a rat and
hung up on him. On another, Hernandez said he didn�t know anything
about Regollar�s murder.
�He denied everything, didn�t he?� Schwartz asked.
�Of course he did,� Moreno answered.
In other testimony Monday, Chief Medical Examiner Ronald O�Halloran
testified that Regollar had two gunshot wounds�a fatal shot to the head
and another to the back.
Testimony is expected to continue today in front of Superior Court Ken
Riley at the Ventura County Hall of Justice.
