Judge Slammed For Releasing Accused Drunk Driver Without Bail After ‘Killing’ 11-Year-Old
New York Post ^ | July 15, 2023 | Alyssa Guzman

The family of an 11-year-old child who was killed in an allegedly drunken crash has slammed a Portland, Ore., judge for releasing the accused motorist without bail, a report said.

Duprie Smith, 29, who suffered a gunshot and was driving himself to the hospital at the time of the crash, was released without bail by Judge Michael Greenlick, despite prosecutors requesting it be set at $100,000.

Victim Ryan Ambrose’s family is now demanding justice for the little boy.

“He was killed by a drunk driver and now this guy is in his house watching TV and my grandson is in a case in the funeral home right now,” the boy’s grandfather Mario Trejo told KPTV. “We think this is not fair. What are they trying to do? Wait until he kills someone else and then arrest him? He was drunk driving 90 miles an hour. Ran every single red light. This is not fair. Where is the justice? We need it. The whole family needs it.”

"What are they trying to do? Wait until he kills someone else and then arrest him?"

That's a possibility. I have seen many cases in which someone is finally locked away after killing someone. I guess that's not good enough anymore.

More Soros style justice.

That does have a shelf life...and eventually people will get justice, whether through the courts or not.

I won’t be surprised when they start writing stories about accident deaths of controversial judges.

The first Death Wish:
Paul Kersey : Nothing to do but cut and run, huh? What else? What about the old American social custom of self-defense? If the police don’t defend us, maybe we ought to do it ourselves.

Jack Toby : We’re not pioneers anymore, Dad.

Paul Kersey : What are we, Jack?

Jack Toby : What do you mean?

Paul Kersey : I mean, if we’re not pioneers, what have we become? What do you call people who, when they’re faced with a condition or fear, do nothing about it, they just run and hide?

Jack Toby : Civilized?

Paul Kersey : No.

Sorry. Sarah’s killer was given a $50,000 bail. He paid $5k and hasn’t been seen since. Trump bringing focus on the case, the judges etc. drastically increased bail when an illegal alien is involved in Nebraska. There was an incident a year or so ago, where one alien ran over the other & killed him. His bail was set at $2M because of Trump’s focus on illegal aliens. There have been other examples.
