Smiley Martin, the second of three suspects arrested in connection with Sunday’s Sacramento, CA, shooting, was released early from prison in February despite District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert opposing the release.
The Sacramento Bee reports that Martin is charged with “assault with a deadly weapon and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.”
The Los Angeles Times points out Martin’s gun had allegedly been stolen and was converted into a fully automatic weapon, and he will face charges for those things as well.
Martin was convicted in 2018 and received a ten-year sentence but was released early from prison, despite DA Schubert’s opposition to the early release.
DA Schubert wrote a letter to the parole board urging them not to release Smiley: “Inmate Martin has, for his entire adult life, displayed a pattern of criminal behavior. While the current case on review may not be ‘violent’ under the Penal Code, Inmate Martin’s criminal conduct is violent and lengthy.”
She also noted, “Inmate Martin has committed several felony violations and clearly has little regard for human life and the law, which can be shown by his conduct in his prior felony convictions of robbery, possession of a firearm and prior misdemeanor conviction of providing false information to a peace officer.”

The AP observed that the first suspect arrested in connection with the Sacramento shooting was 26-year-old Dandrae Martin, the brother of Smiley Martin.
KLVU explains that a third suspect, 31-year-old Daviyonne Dawson, has also been arrested. He, too, faces charges “of being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm.”

Figures
The chaos is intentional.
At the price of ammo these days, hang him. The rope is reusable.
Good point.

Find who was responsible for his release and make them take full responsibility. Of course, that will never happen, but it certainly should. Justice in this country is totally effed up, not to mention the epic glaring double standard.
Gee. What a surprise.
I just don’t understand. He looks like such a nice young gentleman.
“... Martin’s gun had allegedly been stolen and was converted into a fully automatic weapon ...”
I assume that the auto conversion is a Federal crime.
“Possession of a machine gun for an offensive or aggressive purpose is punishable by a fine of up to $1,000, imprisonment for five to 10 years, or both.”
That’s Federal PMITA prison time.
It is California, I am only surprised the DA objected to the early release.
Wrong picture - he’s not smiling.
I’ll bet Americans love having these murderers all back out on the streets. I don’t know why the Republicans didn’t think of doing this. sarc/off
I’ve seen dog piles that were prettier than that guy.
Democrats LOVE mass murderer and mass murderers! It’s more ammo for them to ban guns...and ammo.
