California Judges Gone Wild
Protecting cop killers, illegals and terrorists.
On September 28 near Modesto,
California, Dutch Hollow Farms will open a memorial for Ronil “Ron” Singh, the
legal immigrant from Fiji who came to America to become a police officer.
Singh’s wife and child will be the first to enter the massive maze bearing the
officer’s image. Those paying tribute have good cause to track the path of the
man charged with killing him.
On December 26, 2018, one day
after Christmas, Singh pulled over a suspected drunk driver. He pulled a gun
and shot the officer. The shooter fled and seven other illegals
aided his flight before police apprehended him in Bakersfield.
The accused shooter called himself Gustavo Perez Arriaga, one of his many
aliases, but later claimed his real name was Pablo Virgen Mendoza. The
gang-affiliated illegal had two previous DUI arrests.
His case is being handled by
Stanislaus County Superior Court Judge Ricardo Cordova, a former public
defender appointed as a judge in 2003 by Gov. Gray Davis, a Democrat recalled
that year in favor of Arnold Schwarzenegger. On January 2, Cordova suspended the
proceedings against the accused cop killer on the grounds that
his mental competency had come into question, a dubious claim but predictable
tactic by the defense.
Cordova is also handling the
cases of five illegals arrested for helping Mendoza flee. The judge complained
that having all five in court at one time would be “unwieldy,” a claim even
more dubious than the mental competency of the accused cop killer. To the
surprise of no one, he was indeed competent, and in May Cordova set the
preliminary hearing for December 10, nearly a year after the murder of Ronil
Singh. His many supporters have good cause to wonder whether Cordova will
reprise his role as a public defender with the accused illegal.
Last month, California’s First
District Court of Appeals, packed with Jerry Brown appointees, reversed the gun
conviction of Jose Inez Garcia-Zarate, a previously deported
criminal illegally present in the United States. In what amounted to a show
trial, Garcia-Zarate was acquitted of murder in the July 1, 2015 shooting of
Kate Steinle, 32, on a San Francisco pier. Despite the reversal of the gun
charge, the illegal did in fact discharge the weapon that killed Steinle.
In May, Ismael Huazo-Jardinez
crashed into a Sutter County residence claiming the lives
of three people, including a ten-year-old child. The drunken illegal
attempted to flee the scene, but Judge David Ashby, a 2016 appointee of Gov.
Jerry Brown, allowed Huazo-Jardinez to post bail. He was arrested by ICE and
found to possess two stolen firearms, two dozen cell phones, and $12,000 in
cash.
In California, the anti-ICE
prejudice goes all the way to the top. In 2016, California Supreme Court Chief
Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye charged that federal agents were “stalking” illegals in
courthouses. The former blackjack dealer thus showed her hand as an advocate
for violators of U.S. immigration law. Other judges are eager to cut convicted
terrorists some slack.
Last month, U.S. District Judge
Garland Burrell ordered the release from federal
prison of Hamid Hayat, convicted on terrorism charges in 2006.
That delighted Hayat’s defenders, CAIR and the Muslim Legal Fund of America
(MLFA), who had gone judge shopping.
By releasing Hayat, Burrell was
following the recommendation of magistrate judge Deborah Barnes, who allowed
relatives of Hayat to testify from Pakistan by a video hookup. It remains
unclear how these witnesses were identified, under what law they were sworn in, and
how they were cross-examined.
To the surprise of no one, they
testified that Hayat could not have attended a terrorist training camp, one of
the crimes for which he was duly convicted. Despite the crowing of CAIR bosses,
the premature release of Hayat does not mean that he is innocent of the
original charges.
Back in 2015, Islamic
terrorists Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik gunned down 14
people in San Bernardino. The Muslims carefully planned the
attack, rigging explosives to kill first responders. Had the terrorists
survived, Californians could easily believe that state courts might have
ignored their motive and questioned their mental competence.
California Attorney General
Xavier Becerra, once on Hillary Clinton’s short list as a running mate,
recently tipped his hand that 10 million illegals reside
in California. Automatically registered to vote by the DMV, illegals have
become the Democrats’ electoral college, so Democrats protect even the violent
criminals among them at all costs. State judges, in effect, serve as a pro-bono
law firm for illegals, and rank their concerns above those of their victims.
As legal immigrants and
legitimate citizens might note, it was a private entity, not state government,
that created the memorial to Ronil Singh. Those who show up on September 28
will be admitted free, and all donations will go toward the Corporal Ronil Singh
Memorial Fund.
Meanwhile, legal immigrants,
legitimate citizens, and anyone concerned about public safety might monitor the
way former public defender Ricardo Cordova handles the case of Pablo Virgen
Mendoza, accused of gunning down Ron Singh. Mark your calendars for December
10.
