Those here who neither are nor have not been attorneys in private practice would not know that this sort of behavior is not unique to foreign nationals, or even particularly unusual. Very few people accept responsibility or blame themselves for anything. Most people blame the system, the economy, the government, the judge, the jurors, the police, and the victim(s). Last, but not least, they blame their own attorney, whose advice and direction they almost never follow. In the practice of law, especially criminal law, you tend to meet the worst people in the worst time of their life.

The sad part is there is a judge in this country who will look at this case and order a retrial. Their will also be hundreds of lawyers hoping to get the case.

Who wants to bet that Jorge Boosh....or McBama (if elected) will pardon or commiute this illegal alien criminal?

More anti-American bigotry from the illegal alien crowd.

"All the law books are in English,” he said. “I can’t read English."

Tough luck. Maybe you shouldn't have been here in the first place?

Idiot. Despite knowing Spanish, I would STILL have a problem with the Mexican legal system due to my having to recall archaic civil law codes from my school days. This fool is damn lucky that he is reaping the benefits of our common law system.

>>>“the citizens of Oregon chant and picket with signs that say, ‘Lock down our borders, out with Mexicans,’ ” he said. “… And then I’m subject to a trial with these same citizens as jurors. That is sad.”<<<<

Is he saying the protesters were also the jurors? Or that all American citizens look the same?

I think we need a new option for juries, which are usually stymied:

Death and Release.

The sentence is death, with mandatory release of the body within 90 days, dead or alive.

I ain't saying more.

Am I the only one who thinks we should be sending these foreign nationals back to Mexico for their sentence?

Gratefully, I hope so.

If you think that he would be forced to serve his sentence is Mexico, you are totally ignorant of the culture chasm between our two countries.

Whew!!! Sanchez-Jacabo has more arguments that an enviro-whacko (Algore comes to mind). He reminds the judge that he is a Mexican national, then complains that he was “denied his constitutional rights”! Dude, as a Mexican national, you ain’t got no constitutional rights!!

But, the topper is that all the legal books in the jail house are in English and he CAN’T READ ENGLISH!!!! So, senor, how is that the court’s problem!!??

If I didn’t know better, I would mistake this as a Cheech and Chong routine to entertain the court!!

It’s a shame that the system allows him to lie to the jury, to fake his remorse, then “take it all back” without any possibility that the jury can reverse its lenient sentence. (The LIGHTEST possible sentence in CA for ordering a “hit,” for material gain, is life without parole.) I have little doubt that, had the same jury heard this guy’s whining to the judge, they’d have given him the chair.

“All the law books are in English,” he said. “I can’t read English.

With a life sentence, he'll have plenty of time to learn English.

Somehow, I doubt he can read Spanish either.

Interesting, even in a negative report they waited to the last lines to note “...you were importing into this country pounds and pounds of methamphetamine that were effecting all the people in this community.”

After expressing remorse to a jury that later spared his life, a Mexican citizen who hired hit men to kill two local men did an about face during last week’s sentencing hearing by professing his innocence and railing against the American criminal justice system.

tack on 10 years for perjury

no tears for this one:

Wayne County baby’s death ruled a homicide
July 25, 2008

[snip]Healy, citing the felony complaint against Martinez, said Martinez is accused of kicking his girlfriend several times in the stomach, beating her with an electrical cord and punching her in the face. She was about 26 weeks pregnant, said Wayne County Sheriff’s Investigator Roger LaClair.

Martinez and his girlfriend were living together on a fruit farm in Sodus at the time of the assault. Healy said Martinez, an illegal immigrant from Mexico, was an employee on the farm. The couple has a 9-month-old child together.

Mexico’s biggest exports (besides drugs)...their citizens and their excuses.
