Emilio Sanchez (or just simply known as "Sanchez") is Thurgood's luckless Cuban friend, who can't talk, because he smoked a lot, or because of Haiti Lady's Voodoo powers, as hinted in the episode, Haiti Sings the Blues." Emilio has to use an electronic voicebox, held up to his throat in order to communicate with other people. He once wanted to become an Opera singer, back when he had his voice. For some reason, Emilio wears a blue and white trucker hat with "Nevada" written on the front.
