The alleged leader of an armed robbery crew charged with killing a New Zealand tourist last week outside Newport Beach's Fashion Island mall had been placed on probation for stealing a Rolex at gunpoint in Santa Monica.

He avoided prison time in that case after Los Angeles County prosecutors agreed to a three-year suspended sentence, according to interviews and records reviewed by The Times.

Leroy Ernest McCrary, 26, now faces a special circumstances murder charge that could carry the death penalty after authorities allege he ran over Patricia "Trish" McKay, 68, during a July 2 robbery attempt.

This is what happens when you vote Democrat.
 
Interesting how some want to bring politics into a crime.
one could say remember Jan 6 at the Capital if you vote Republican.😁

imo, most rational adult can look at the evidence, understand the law and determine a persons guilt or innocence. Politics has nothing to do with the verdict.

Certain people make everything political regardless of relevance. I mean we’re being invaded right so any crime committed in the US is the fault of the president. We love stupidity and this will be interesting when the shoe is on the other foot cause I for sure will be bringing it up on the regular.

Wrong. Who voted in these soft on crime judges and DAs? Lefties did. They are reaping the whirlwind

The verdict isn’t in question (since the perp plead guilty), it’s the ridiculous ‘wrist slap’ sentence (recommended by the prosecution and granted by the judge) for armed robbery which certainly seems to be the result of ‘social justice’ politics.
 
And the left wants to ban guns from legal gun owners and leave the criminal in society to pray on innocent citizens.

Many seem to think a ‘gun ban’ (on new sales only?) will eventually trickle down to criminals.
 
Revisiting and reviewing the doctrine of judicial immunity is long overdue.

Maybe if they raise the misdemeanor level from $950.00 to $95.000.00 Kalifornia can lower their crime rate even more. Perhaps they could make murder a misdemeanor and threaten anyone reporting a murder with jail time for civil disturbance crime will be nonexistent.

Yeah, armed robbery? Pshaw! No big deal. He's just trying to feed his family if he is black. If he is white, maybe some classes on why it's better to kill the victim if no one is around.
 
Bankers shouldn't be able to afford Rolex, so this must be Mr. McCrary's interpretation of what is community service.
 
Democrats don't want to stop violence/violent people

they simply don't - their laws/views reflect that

Sadly, the use of ‘prosecutorial discretion’ (typically accomplished via ‘plea deals’) has long been accepted as a viable work around from ‘equal protection (application?) of the law’. Our ‘equal justice for all’ court system simply couldn’t handle the (current) case load without the extensive use (abuse?) of ‘prosecutorial discretion’.

Interesting but wrong. My comment was about Jan 6th.

Are you saying that only Republicans can be fair and impartial jurist?

Did the judge apply the law and punishment guidance properly when determining the sentence?


Unfortunately in the US laws and punishment can vary depending on the State and within the State.

IMHO, no. See post #14.

How can unequal judicial charging and/or sentencing decisions be both unfortunate and proper?

true. but some have complained that the Jan6 defendants have been given to harsh of a sentence.

Other rioters/trespassers have received far less punishment.

"Your post: "Who voted in these soft on crime judges and DAs? Lefties did. "

Hence my comment about Republicans.

Not all who aren’t republicants are “Lefties” (far left loons?). In most of CA it’s generally not whether a republicant or demorat will be elected, but how far left the demorat elected will be.

agree.
and not all Republicans are MAGA extremists.

What does theft have to do with murder?

Are you suggesting that if your kid gets picked up for shoplifting he should go to jail for life?
