New Mexico compound judge has history of issuing low bail to violent offenders

The state judge who on Monday set a $20,000 bail for five defendants arrested at a remote New Mexico compound where authorities say children were being trained to conduct school shootings has a history of issuing low bail to violent offenders.

Judge Sarah Backus, an elected Democrat, ordered the two men and three women to wear ankle monitors, have weekly contact with their attorneys and not consume alcohol or own firearms while on bail. She said although she was concerned by “troubling facts,” prosecutors failed to articulate any specific threats to the community.

The five suspects were arrested more than a week ago when police raided a squalid makeshift living structure near the Colorado state line in response to a report of children living in filth, severe hunger and dangers including a leaky propane tank. The 11 children found at the compound were placed in state custody. Prosecutors on Monday said Siraj Ibn Wahhaj provided some of the children with firearms training – including tactical skills such as “speed loading” guns and firing while in motion.

“What I’ve heard here today is troubling, definitely. Troubling facts about numerous children in far from ideal circumstances and individuals who are living in a very unconventional way,” Backus said.

Just on the issue of child abuse bail should have been denied.

“In a statement sent to KOB following the hearing, Gov. Susana Martinez said she “strongly disagreed” with the hearing’s outcome and Backus’s decision.

“Unfortunately, it highlights how extreme the New Mexico Supreme Court has been in dictating pretrial release for all kinds of dangerous criminals,” she said. “

And FYI, Governor Martinez appointed Judge Backus who, it turns out happens to be Jewish. And in other news the Taos Jewish Center is trying to “scrub” Judge Backus involvement there from it’s website.

I am sure the MS13 types are standing in line at bus stations across the country.

Good for the other 49 states, including mine.

Video of you in bed with a live boy or a dead girl might suffice. Might.

Sayyyyy, didn't they find a kid in a shallow grave at this so-called training site?...

Yup:

Investigators also are trying to understand the death of a 3-year-old child, whose body was found buried on the site about four hours south of Denver.

"Just on the issue of child abuse bail should have been denied."

Not to mention the fact that a child was missing from the compound, and that a child's body had been found there.

While a lot of patriotic Americans slept, radicals of all types have been operating in New Mexico since at least the 60’s or 70’s, from La Raza types/Atzlan to old Weathermen (Mark Rudd - had a “center” new Albuquerque), the Southwest Voters Project, some radical Indians, and related groups.

We need some Freepers to keep an eye on their state and to file articles here telling us who and what is going on there.

Remember, Sen. Richardson became NM’s governor. Are the Castro Brothers from them (re Congress and state politics)?
