(AP) TRENTON, N.J. -- Federal marshals arrested two more suspects in the deadly schoolyard shootings in Newark two weeks ago.
Rodolfo Godinez -- a 24-year-old Nicaraguan immigrant described as a principal player in the case -- was arrested in Prince George's County, Maryland.
A 16-year-old described as a possible relative of Godinez's was arrested in the Woodbridge, Virginia, area.
Jose Carranza, along with two juveniles, has already been charged in the Aug. 4 shootings deaths of three college in a Newark schoolyard.
Carranza, 28, is an illegal immigrant from Peru, but authorities said they never checked his immigration status after he was arrested in October following a bar fight and in January on aggravated sexual assault charges.
Carranza, a laborer, posted $2,000 to get out on bail on the bar fight charges, and had a bail bondsman post $150,000 to get out on the sexual assault charges, after a judge lowered his bail from $300,000.
"In the aftermath of this tragedy, concerns have been raised about the setting of bail in this matter," Rabner said. "It is important that we address these questions openly, swiftly and fairly for the sake of all involved."
He said the results of the review will be released publicly.
D'Italia was a Hudson County Superior Court judge from 1989 to 2004.
"His credentials are impeccable and his depth of knowledge of bail statutes, criminal court rules, constitutional issues and day-to-day court processes make him the right person to assess how these issues were resolved," Rabner said.
Attorney General Anne Milgram is also looking into how Carranza's case was handled. She expects to complete her review in a month. Rabner didn't say when he expected D'Italia to finish his work.
Gov. Jon S. Corzine and Milgram were to join Newark Mayor Cory A. Booker Thursday to announce measures to monitor the flow of illegally purchased weapons into Newark and cut down on gun violence.
Sixty people have been killed in Newark this year, and the total number of killings in the city has risen more than 50 percent since 2002.
Terrance Aeriel, 18; Iofemi Hightower, 20, and Dashon Harvey, 20, were killed on Aug. 4.
On Wednesday, Corzine outlined an agreement that will allow police in New Jersey to directly access a database maintained by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives to track the origin of all guns used in a crime in New Jersey.
New Jersey will become the first state to trace all guns recovered in crimes, according to an ATF spokesman.
Booker has often expressed frustration that authorities in Newark have not been able to track guns used in crimes in the city.
"It is outrageous to me that my police don't have access to trace data on weapons to know exactly where they're coming from," he said earlier in the week.
BTTT
New Jersey will become the first state to trace all guns recovered in crimes, according to an ATF spokesman.
So they will track guns but not illegal aliens. Shows you how serious they are on the issue.
NEW JERSEY! WAKE THE HELL UP!!!!!!!ESPECIALLY YOU NEWARK FOLKS!!!!!!.....
Here we go, the camels nose under the tent...
So....
The Polise will be able to instantly know where THE GUN came from, but NOT the Illegal Alien????
How F*k’d up is that???
This ILLEGAL deserves execution. But I guess the US will only want to deport him so he can come and murder again.
No kidding. Talk about skewed priorities!
“In the aftermath of this tragedy, concerns have been raised about the setting of bail in this matter,” Rabner said. “It is important that we address these questions openly, swiftly and fairly for the sake of all involved.”
What a loada...btw, who’s Rabner?
If they don't, then let the illegals have their way with New Jerseyites. Meanwhile, since Newark is a "sanctuary city," instead of deporting all the illegals elsewhere, just bus them all to Newark and other sanctuary cities. Not only will WE get rid of the ones around here, but we won't be "separating families" which should make the liberals happy. Right?
Anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collectives are likely to join forces.
“Build it, and they will come.”
They did, and THEY did!.................
I’d like to know what database that is? Help?
SOMEBODY WITH A BRAIN NEEDS TO ASK THE GUV, “JUST HOW WOULD THAT PREVENT THESE YOUNG PEOPLE FROM BEING MURDERED IN THE FIRST PLACE?”...............
Those Newark folks are in a drug induced coma. There is little hope for New Jersey and no hope at all for Newark and Camden.
If you want to address the folks of Newark, you probably should be doing that on DU. It’s not exactly a stronghold of conservatism.
I'll make a prediction; Crimes being committed by illegals are being highlighted everyday thru all types of media. The general public at a national level will now hear about every murder and gross DUI deaths, most of which were only local stories before now.
Yes, this will be rubbed into our faces until we collectively get angry enough to pressure our pols to do something. Pretty soon it will be politically difficult to remain a sanctuary city.
As more cities give up their santuary status, the worst of the illegals will flock to places such as Newark.
