SAN FRANCISCO -- The man charged with murdering a San Francisco father and two sons during a traffic incident appeared in court today and listened quietly as he was ordered held without bail.

He appeared shackled at the waist in a jail jumpsuit, a large tattoo of the Salvadoran national crest visible on the back of his closely shaved head. ...

The three murder counts carry special circumstances of multiple murder and murder as part of a street gang, which both carry the potential of life imprisonment without parole or the death penalty.
Police say Ramos is a member of the Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) gang, but authorities have not said how the killings were gang motivated.
District Attorney Kamala Harris has previously said she would never seek the death penalty, and has not done so since taking office in 2004. Tony Bologna's widow, Danielle Bologna, has urged her to seek capital punishment in this case.
Harris, who was not in court Friday, has set up a process in which prosecutors meet to determine whether to seek the death penalty. Typically, prosecutors take several months before declaring that they will not seek capital punishment.
The district attorney established that system after being criticized for taking just days after an arrest in the 2004 slaying of police Officer Isaac Espinoza to rule out the death penalty for the suspect. David Hill was eventually convicted of murdering Espinoza and sentenced to life without parole.

Ramos' immigration status has become a side issue in the case. O'Sullivan says Ramos is in the country legally and has applied for permanent residence here. But Virginia Kice, spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said Friday that the agency believes he is an illegal immigrant and has put an immigration hold on him.

If anyone deserves capital punishment—this creep does. Do make sure his cellmate has HIV-AIDS.

A suspected gang member accused of killing a father and two sons escaped prosecution in a weapons case earlier this year when the San Francisco district attorney's office concluded it didn't have enough evidence to connect him to a gun that a passenger in his car was carrying, authorities said Thursday.
Dude's got a heart... just for his family... everybody else dies...

I think California has had about 12 executions in the last 30 years.
Incredibly, Gray Davis, the recalled liberal Democratic governor, signed most of the death warrants.

That should make a nice lapel pin for his next election campaign.
