(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.
Yeah, let's blame the guns, not the murdering criminaliens. Typical liberal idiots.
Hydrogen and stupidity, the most abundant things in the universe.
Try monitoring the illegal criminals, stupid!
It's legal, it's required by statute and the guns won't jump off the shelves to kill anyone.
LOL!!...Yeah, you’re right, of course. But It’s just so maddening that people, and not just Newark or New Jersey, cannot see what is so damn plain and simple!..........
Somehow I am skeptical of that being done by a 6 year old. Maybe and adult with a 6 year old’s mentality........
Not just NEWARK folks. This IS coming to your neighborhood if you have not seen it yet.
I live near where this “Rodolfo Godinez — a 24-year-old Nicaraguan immigrant” was caught. Any guesses why he went there? More anonymity and “sanctuary”. Maryland is a sanctuary in general but the south counties are the worst. Plenty of gang issues there because of the policies.
Here in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, we are seemingly OVERRUN BY THESE “IMMIGRANTS”.....................
“Hydrogen and stupidity, the most abundant things in the universe.”
The original I think came from Albert Einstein.
“Only two things are infinite, the universe and stupidity, I am not sure about former.”
That kid has it right. The ‘good people’ (un-armed) are the ones doing the bleeding.
Chuckie Bloomer Age 6 = Charles Schumer Age 56
“Maybe and adult with a 6 year olds mentality........”
Sarah Brady and the MMM’ers?
“That kid has it right. The good people (un-armed) are the ones doing the bleeding.”
It is at least a mixed message he is sending. Just like a leftard.
Well I not terribly sorry for them. They get what they vote for. If this sort of political butt clown is what they wanted, they certainly scored in spades with the lot running NJ these days.
Oh, it’s a very well executed parody. Perfectly sums up the liberal “mind,” = six years old.
So how many does that make for this case now?
I never believed that all those cartoony drawings that were supposed to be done by kids ever were. They ALWAYS looked like they were done by adults in kid style. They show too much adult thinking in the details.
No six year old EVER writes that well. That’s adult writing.
Tracing guns? Hey, what about tracing the people who use those guns?!
