Ramirez was convicted for the 1983 killing of a 22-year-old Norwalk bank teller outside a bar in Garden Grove. The partially nude body of Kimberly Gonzales was found in a nearby alley. She had been stabbed 19 times and bled to death.
He was convicted of rape, sodomy and murder. The California Supreme Court upheld the conviction in 1990.

As much as I hate to admit it, the judge was right. Potential bias of a juror is a grave threat to the administration of justice, so the only reasonable response is (1) hold a new trial and (2) crucify the juror who lied.

So, once again, a liberal judge does what he wants and does not follow the law and releases a rapist and murderer. He should have to take this guy home with him and let him stay with him and his wife, or his boyfriend, which ever he has.

How was the guy convicted since the victim was killed? If there is DNA evidence... match the bastard and cook him in the chair...

Sounds like the judge is taking a page out of huckelberry’s play book.
