Judge Blames Trump for Illegal Alien’s Deadly Hit-and-Run with Marine
Breitbart ^ | August 42,2017 | Bob Price

Posted on 08/24/2017 11:55:38 AM PDT by Hojczyk

Anne Arundel County Circuit Court Judge Larua Kiessling said, from the bench, she received many letters about the case expressing concern about the “current political climate” where President Trump has been “harshly critical of illegal immigration and of Mexico in particular,” the Capital Gazette reported. The judge said it is “reasonable to conclude” that the defendant, Martin Martinez-Ballinas, would flee the scene out of fear of being deported.

“I’m not going to sentence based on the political environment,” Keissling told the courtroom.

Maryland defense attorney Kush Arora told Breitbart Texas that Martinez-Ballinas’s fear does not matter as to guilt or innocence. “It doesn’t matter why he ran, only that he knowingly fled the scene.” He added that the fear could be considered by the judge as a mitigating factor in sentencing.

The judge then handed down a sentence of six years in prison for what the State’s attorney called a “cowardly act.” The maximum sentence for the felony crime is 10 years and a $10,000 fine.

The court convicted Martinez-Ballinas, 29, for fleeing the scene of a February 24 crash that resulted in the death of Marine Lance Corporal James Ray Walden III. Evidence presented in the case revealed Martinez-Ballinas was speeding in his BMW 335i when he lost control while negotiating a curve. He then struck a motorcycle driven by Corporal Walden.

The Mexican national then fled the scene and hid in a nearby quarry. Police found him hiding a short time later. His attorney said his client ran because he was afraid of being deported.

Laura Kiessling was fooling around with a married man or was he already divoced?

The problem is less the assumption of power by the judges but is rather the acceptance of that situation as right by the population, including us. Neither the legislature or the Executive dares call out the judiciary. They bitch and tear their hair (sometimes) but accept that what a judge has said is the Word of God, at least until a superior God decides differently. Who still thinks we live in a Republic or a Democracy? This is a joint Oligarchy/Judicial Aristocracy.

Another Capo judge. She’s presently knocking boots with Cal Ripkin, the baseball player.

From the Capital Gazette: “She said it was “reasonable to conclude” that Martinez-Ballinas ran from the accident scene in fear of being deported but that would not affect her sentencing.” Six years in prison but in today’s world, he will probably do 6 months.

Well, I guess if this make you happy those ‘97 Honda’s were pretty nice, well built cars...

Except for the A/C being crap, I could likely drive it until it dies... or I do.

Costs me less than 45$/month in gas and insurance. I'm gonna have to get the A/C fixed. Can't stand it in Albuquerque during the summer, especially in the monsoon season, but yeah, it's a good car.

“Ripken married the former Kelly Geer at Towson United Methodist Church on Friday, November 13, 1987.[165] They have a daughter, Rachel,[166] and a son, Ryan.[167]...”

It was reported on April 28, 2016, that Ripken and his wife Kelly had divorced[170] after a one-year separation.”

The biased judge should have recused herself from this case if she couldn’t control her emotions while wearing the robe.


The biased judge should be tarred and feathered... while wearing her robe.

Judge Larua Kiessling’s statements, if they are a permanent transcript, has made the case for her recall as a judge. Her job is to apply the law and not ignore the law based upon assumptions or tricky evasion arguments.

I agree 100%.

Breitbart has a great article by Ann Coulter "Peace Through Broder Control."

I blame the video game Carmeggedon. The driver receives bonuses for brutalizing innocent pedestrians in the streets. To win a race, you either finish first, destroy your opponents’ cars, or clear the course of people using your front bumper and four-wheel drive. Include Grand Theft Auto and you have lots of blame to justify your hit-and-run ambitions.

When you get rid of Christianity, the bed rock of a law-and-order society, make video games your religion. That’s the ticket!

To not see the evil which obama leveled out daily and in every tv speech,, and yet interpret all and everything about Trump as evil .. blows my gasket.

Or ... to put it in other words:
To label Trump as evil and obama as good, flies in the face of every good American... and proves there are lying ignorant sack of flesh that should not be on this planet!

When the mistake is that black and white.. that plain for everyone to see... and yet you side with the wrong side... it’s time to change course.

The reason someone leaves the scene of an accident is immaterial. If you do it, you will be sought, found, arrested, charged and hopefully convicted and harshly sentenced.

But, living in the Bizarro world we now are forced to live in...I know that ain't gonna happen.
