Jaime Caudillo and Steven Rincon smiled and laughed Monday as a judge sentenced them to serve life sentences in connection with the 2015 shooting of a Merced police officer.

Merced Police Officer Ryan Rasmussen read an impact statement, nearly four years and five months after he was shot by the 35-year-old Caudillo during a traffic stop in Merced.

Both were charged with attempted murder with weapons charges and aggravating circumstances, including being in a gang that viewed police as “the enemy” and that killing an officer would be a badge of pride.

These are the folks that pretty boy Gov Gavin Newsom wants to protect from the police.

California can suck it.

EVIL PUNKS
For starter’s, they don’t belong in our country.

A very poorly written article. That said, why are these murderers given free room and board for life? An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth does not mean "murder someone and you get to live the rest of your life being cared for?" Society is being asked to foot the bill for these evil monsters because the ruling class refuse to recognize true morality. We are here: “If there are no absolutes by which to judge society, then society is absolute.” Francis Schaeffer, How Shall We Then Live? (Old Tappan NJ: Fleming H Revell Company, 1976), p. 224.

One of the trial days was cut short after authorities suspected Caudillo and Rincon were consuming drugs in the jail during the trial, according to court records.

Public torture and execution would end this crap. The PC crowd would object though: “That’s not who we are.”

I keep getting the SacBee confused with the Babylon Bee, so I kept waiting for the punchline. I think I need some coffee.

Rincon already was sentenced this summer to more than 50 years to life in prison for the jailhouse murder of Aaron Bonilla, according to court records. Rincon and fellow gang members Reyes Carrillo and Alfonso Martinez attacked Bonilla for “a long period of time” and killed him, authorities said.

Oh great let’s give him another life sentence.

Ok...so some will tell me that this link is not related to this story. I dont care. I think that some people following this thread will find this story somewhat relevant and interesting in a sad-but-true kind of way. /flame suit on

There’s a cure for that in .45 caliber.

Find out what they took, multiply the dosage by 100, feed it to them. If room temperature result not forth coming, rinse and repeat.

Whose this we crap, its who I am

Public defender dude is an idiot.

He lays out his liberal beliefs at the end, and all through his piece, he’s laying out how those beliefs feed into the problem.

Can’t connect cause to effect over time. At least he was honest. He is a liberal.

I immediately cringe when ever I hear a politician make this inane statement.

................ I Once knew a person who worked as a professional Clown .... He always laughed and made fun of everything ..... Until he was faced with what many would call .... Real life ..... SUDDENLY ..... He was no longer a Clown ....

Guilty and death by hanging...until dead. Is the only way to make these killers see the light.

[know.your.why]

Good point. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. My bad..

“We are doing something today that stretches the boundaries of possibility,” Newsom said at a signing ceremony, where he was joined by activists whose family members have been killed in police shootings. “It sends a message to people all across this country that they can do more and they can do better to meet this moment in their respective states.”

Says Gavin Newsom who lives behind walls and is protected by police.

Pay per view. Nightly. Until we run out of product.

Years ago they would have begged for a death sentence as they would serve very hard time.
