What did they convict the elderly widow of?
But aren’t we told repeatedly that “Bush kept us safe after 9/11”...
Send Perez-Gonzalez to Sing-Sing and put his butt in the general pop. Make sure the other cons know why he’s there.
How can they convict this guy? San Francisco is a sanctuary city and everything goes.
He’s 31... young enough to get a GED and qualify for the DREAM act.
I did some research and the victim’s name and ethnicity has been hidden by all of the news sources I have tried to find, even the court records, which haven’t been updated online.
Imagine if 78-year old Maria Lopez-Hernandez were beaten with a crowbar until blinded by Hans Olafsson? The Media would not stop with the hate crime chat, Holder would be there with Jesse and Al with the Grajiva/La Raza crowd...Couric/Maddow/Olbermann/Williams/Schultz would be screaming for the death penalty....
But, alas, the victim was probably Anglo or Asian, and, well, that isn’t news or a hate crime.
I’m stuned that the Comical used the phrase “illegal immigrant”.
I’d have expected “undocumented widow-beater”.
Here is yet another case .A 26-year-old illegal immigrant from Honduras will spend the rest of his life in prison after the Virginia Court of Appeals affirmed Nov. 16 the convictions against him for breaking into a Sterling Park home in 2008 and raping its elderly resident.
Arnold J. Mancia-Morales was convicted of rape, burglary while armed, abduction, and assault and battery in the case after a three-day trial in March 2009. In September 2009, a judge sentenced him to life in prison plus an additional 53 years.
During the trial, the 76-year-old victim testified about how her attacker had broken into her Ironwood Road home just after midnight Aug. 29, 2008, punched her, cut her fingers and sexually assaulted her for “what seemed like forever.”
After sentencing, Mancia-Morales’ attorneys filed an appeal in the case, claiming that statements used in trial that Mancia-Morales made to police were in violation of his Fifth Amendment right to legal counsel, that the abduction was incidental to the rape and not a separate crime deserving an additional charge, and that the evidence was insufficient to prove that the defendant had a knife when he entered the victim’s house.
The appellate court denied each of the three claims, putting the case to rest.
Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Plowman was the prosecuting attorney in the case.
“A tremendous amount of effort was put into the preparation of this case to ensure that we presented a trial that was both factually thorough and legally accurate,” he said in a statement. “I’m pleased that the Court of Appeals upheld the trial court’s rulings, which give this case finality for our community.”
