Nice drafting: “Nunez wielded THE KNIFE THAT,,,” injured another person. The knife did it. By the way, how badly did THE KNIFE hurt the victim? What vermin these people are.
“I do not discount the gravity of the offense. But given (Esteban) Nunez’s limited role in Santos’s death, and considering that, unlike Jett, Nunez had no criminal record prior to this offense, I believe Nunez’s sentence is excessive.”
Ah-huh. And if this particular Nunez had been some guy from El Sereno instead of the son of some powerful state politician, I’m sure Arnie would have been just as eager. /do I even need a sarc tag here?
the last disgraceful act of a disgraceful governor
He may of had a “limited” roll in the murder but he was Front and Center in the subsequent cover up.
Limited or not the fact remains that he participated.
I feel so badly for the family of the murder victim.
They must be livid.
Schwarzenidiot has proven to be an absolute worthless person and rules and well as he acts.
Looks like he’s not done kissing Nunez’s butt.
“Prosecutors alleged that Nuñez and his three friends, after a night of heavy drinking, were angry at being rebuffed when they tried to crash a fraternity party near campus. Jett and Nuñez were charged with murder, assault and conspiracy to destroy evidence.”
“Before the slaying, the two had been living in Sacramento and had come to San Diego for a weekend of partying.”
“Prosecutors say Esteban Nunez stabbed two of Santos’ friends. He and the others fled, and later tried to cover up the evidence by dumping their knives in a Sacramento river and burning their bloodied clothes with gasoline.”
“Esteban Nunez did not stab Dos Santos but agreed to plead guilty to manslaughter to avoid the possibility of getting a life term if the case went to trial, the lawyer said. He acknowledged being armed with a knife during the fight.
“Luis Santos may not be the son of any top-notch political figure,” said his friend, Navid Sabahi, giving an impassioned plea to the judge for maximum sentences for all the defendants. “He may not be associated with the rich and famous but Luis was the son of two loving and caring parents. To me they are rich and famous ... and Luis was a star in our eyes. We will never get to see his face again...”
“It was a very, very difficult decision for the family to work through this, (the plea agreement)” Patton said. “We very much wanted to go to trial to get the real truth of the case out but it’s a tragic situation all the way around and Esteban is ready to take responsibility for his role in the event.”
Knife fights suck.
They rarely end well, and there is usually much pain.
That is why Sam Colt invented the pistol.
Some of us knew that Arnold was a loser from the very start. Others, the Hugh Hewitt crowd comes to mind, brayed that Tom McClintock “couldn’t win” and insisted that everyone had to back Schwarzenegger. Keep that in mind the next time you see Hewitt and his Salem Radio pals pushing another squishy “center-right” phony in the next election.
California Republicans need to be kicked out of the party.
