GOOD OLD SOUTHERN JUSTICE IN LA LEGAL !
THIS UNJUST LEGAL CASE ONLY POINTS OUT THE IMPORTANCE OF MAKING SURE THAT ALL OUR MIDDLE CLASS AND WORKING POOR AMERICANS HAVE PROPER LEGAL REPRESENTATION AFFORDED THEM BY OUR US CONGRESS FOR THEIR THEIR FEDERAL APPEAL RETRIALS !
What we have here in this Manny Gonzales criminal case is a jury, judge and DA taking care of their communities safety from gangs in a typical vigilante hang him high process. The presiding judge tells both attorneys (defense and prosecution ) prior the trial that this specific case is not gang related and advises the DA to instruct their witnesses not to mention or insinuate gang association information to the jury.At this point in this trial the presiding judge is aware of and protective of the defendants rights to a fair trial, knowing darn well that if a LA jury is lead to believe ( rightly or wrongly ) a defendant is affiliated with a gang, that a fair trial is almost Impossible. What happens when this DA decides to use gang association (over the judges denials ) on this jury is really quite devious. LA judges are allowing these type of unjust trials to continue knowing these defendants can appeal for a new trial from prison after they lose their jury trials. Local DA's know this LA judicial system will not dismiss a jury due to DA's using gang association with defendants, and they have a free hand to play their jury to the max. This play acting between the presiding judge pretending to protect the defendants right to a fair trial and the devious DA who wants to protect our society by taking justice into their own hands, is a little what Manny Gonzales and his public defender had to deal with. Any judge that allows a rogue DA to disobey their specific orders on misleading their jury into believing the defendant is either a gang member or the specific crime is gang related should have the common sense and decency to dismiss the jury and call for a new trial. This kid Manny Gonzales tried as an adult needed this judge not just to set the guidelines in the start of the trial with this rogue DA,but also to continue to protect the defendant with his right to a fair trial throughout the entire trial. When this presiding judge allowed this trial to continue the jury believed both the DA and the judge that Manny Gonzales was a gang member and this specific shooting incident was not related to his affiliation with gang activity. Every night during this two week trial,this jury went home and had the opportunity to watch gang violence reported on their nightly news. How could any reasonable person think Manny Gonzales and his public defender could defeat a presiding judge, rogue DA,and a inflamed jury with possible nightly exposure to gang TV violence ?
If anyone deserves a call for GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME A NEW TRIAL Manny Gonzales Does !
