The Democrat District Attorney in charge of prosecuting the Venezuelan migrant accused of brutally murdering Laken Riley has removed herself from the case — amid criticisms that she has failed to secure a single guilty verdict the entire time she has been in office.

Athens-Clarke District Attorney Deborah Gonzalez appointed veteran attorney Sheila Ross to serve as a special prosecutor to instead handle the case against Jose Ibarra for murdering the 22-year-old nursing student who was innocently out for a run. “We will not allow this or any other case to be used for political gain,” Gonzalez said in a statement.

“Our top priority is the safety of every citizen, and we are fully committed to ensuring that justice is served for the loss of every life.”“M s. Gonzalez has failed to achieve one guilty verdict in a jury trial involving any type of criminal case,” attorney Kevin Epps, who is suing Gonzalez on behalf of an Athens bar owner, told WSB-TV.

Imagine that type of answer to say a doctor

”Doctor we need you to perform surgery on this patient……”

“she has failed to secure a single guilty verdict the entire time she has been in office”

That would be virtually impossible to do unless it’s deliberate.

She hasn’t gotten a conviction because she doesn’t want any convictions of her little black darlings.

Not real easy to claim that Trump is using it for political gain. The media criticized him from about the 4th syllable of his announcement speech in 2015 for pointing out the dangers of uncontrolled, open borders. He has consistently held that position. It is just hard facts lining up with his position that has happened, not his position changing to exploit new circumstances.

This DA knew she could not lose and didn’t want it on her record that she jailed an illegal.

Gonzalez stepped down from this case, not wanting ro ruin her perfect record.

If I were a cynic, I’d be inclined to think this is an election year. Good thing I’m not a cynic.
