Four Lives Lost - The innocence and wrongful convictions of 4 Texas woman

San Antonio, Texas – In September 1994 allegations of aggravated sexual assault on a child were brought against Elizabeth Ramirez (19) and three of her friends – Anna Vasquez (19), Cassandra Rivera (19) and Kristie Mayhugh (21). The complainants in the case were nine-year-old V.L. and seven-year-old S.L., nieces of Elizabeth Ramirez. The girls claimed that on two successive days during a week-long visit with their aunt Elizabeth, she and her three friends held them down and sexually assaulted them. Elizabeth Ramirez was tried in February of 1997 and sentenced to 37-and-a-half years. In February of 1998 the other three women were tried together and sentenced to 15 years for the same alleged crimes. No physical or corroborating evidence was MORE

Another right wing effort underway to turn a convicted Border Patrol Agent into a "hero"

Another Border Patrol Agent who was recently convicted of perjury and “deprivation of civil rights under color of authority” and sentenced to 24 months in prison is once again being hailed as a hero by the same wingnuts who attempted to do the same for convicted felons Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean. Former Border Patrol office Jesus Enrique Diaz Jr and other agents were chasing other a group of illegal migrants through a pecan orchard near Eagle Pass the night of Oct. 16, 2008. Once the group was apprehended and handcuffed, Diaz targeted on 15 year old, kicked his feet out from under him and once on the ground, grabbed his handcuffed wrist jerking his arms back behind him at a painful MORE

On first anniversary of David Hartley fiasco, Tiffany Hartley tells still a different story

Hard to believe a year has passed since a questionable incident on Falcon Lake put the small town of Zapata Texas on the world map. A year ago today, Tiffany and David Hartley took their personal watercraft across the border and only Tiffany Harley returned telling  a harrowing and unbelievable  tale that stills smells like the rotting fish along the docks of Falcon Lake. Tiffany claims drug cartel gunmen chased her across the lake, having shot David in the head. She said she was forced to leave her soul mate in the normally calm waters to save herself. But now, on the anniversary of the incident, still unsolved, Hartley is telling yet another version of what “happened” on Falcon Lake MORE

[Updated] Murder condoned by US District Judge David Briones as justice is denied Sergio Adrian Hernandez Güereca, for now!

Border Patrol Agent Jesus Mesa Jr, remember that name people. He is the Border Patrol agent in El Paso who got away with the cold blooded murder of 15 year old Sergio Adrian Hernandez Güereca on June 7, 2010. Until now, the Border Patrol has kept the name secret to protect the guilty. Border Patrol Agent Jesus Mesa Jr. murdered Güereca as the kid was standing behind a pillar on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande within site of the Paseo Del Norte bridge where witnesses videotaped the entire exchange. As usual, Border Patrol Agent Jesus Mesa Jr. claimed that Güereca was throwing rocks at him as he tried to detain another man who with Güereca, had been running back and forth across MORE

Albert Gaxiola sentenced to "natural life" plus 54 years in prison

Pima County Superior Court Judge John S. Leonardo sentenced convicted murderer Albert Robert Gaxiola yesterday to natural life in the Arizona Department of Corrections for the May 30, 2009, murder of 9-year-old Brisenia Flores during the home invasion murder spree in Arivaca, led by Minuteman Shawna Forde. This brings to an end, the case that for a moment in time, took peoples minds and thoughts away from the hatred of Hispanics, both legal and illegal, and for a moment, focused on the murder of an innocent 9 year old child and her father in a small, dusty,town in southern Arizona. Minuteman Shawna Forde and her triggerman, Aryan wannabe Jason Eugene Bush were sentenced to death x 2 for the murders MORE

Death Row Inmate Jason Eugene Bush will die in Arizona!

Washington State prosecutors appear satisfied with the sentence given to convicted double murderer Jason Eugene Bush and won’t try to extradite him to Washington state to stand trial for two more killings attributed to him. Bush, convicted triggerman in the home invasion murders of 9 year old Brisenia Flores and her father Raul, was also charged in Washington with the 1997 stabbing death of a homeless man in Wenatchee Washington and the shooting death of an 18-year-old white supremacist from East Wenatchee in July and September of 2007. Bush was positively identified by eyewitnesses as being the actor in the 1997 murders for which he was charged. Bush is currently on Arizona’s death row under two death sentences plus 78 MORE

Gaxiola escapes the death penalty for murdering 9 year old Brisenia Flores & father Raul

After a jury earlier could not decide on the appropriate punishment for Albert Gaxiola for the murder of 9 year old Brisenia Flores in May of 2009, Judge John S. Leonardo, during a hearing Friday, granted a prosecution motion withdrawing the death notice during a hearing Friday morning. Deputy County Attorney Rick Unklesbay told Leonardo that the Homicide Panel in his office has reviewed all the pros and cons of continuing to seek the death penalty for Brisenias murder, and with the full understanding and support of victim and mother Gina Gonzalez, the prosecution was taking the death penalty off the table. Sentencing is set for August 15 at 10:30 in Judge Leonardos courtroom on the two counts of first MORE

Gaxiola guilty on all charges - Deliberations took 5 hours

It shouldn’t have taken more than 5 minutes, but in the end, former Arivaca resident Albert Robert Gaxiola, 43, was found guilty of all charges in the home invasion murders of Raul Flores, and his 9 year old daughter Brisenia, and the attempted murder of the victims wife and mother, Gina Marie Gonzalez. Gaxiola was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted first-degree murder, one count of burglary in the first-degree; one count of aggravated assault/serious physical injury; one count of aggravated assault, deadly weapon/dangerous instrument; one count of armed robbery; and one count of aggravated armed robbery. These are the same charges Minuteman Shawna Forde and shooter Jason Eugene Bush have been convicted of. Both MORE

Prosecution - Gaxiola was the orchestrator of the Arivaca murders

The first day of the capitol murder trial of Albert Gaxiola is in the books and it gives us a glimpse of which way his defense team is going to try and get him acquitted of the same charges that sent Minuteman leader Shawna Forde and shooter Jason Eugene “Gunny” Bush to Arizona’s death row. For full and unique coverage of the trial, check out Dave Rickers website. Good reporting despite the lack of use of spellcheck. Opening statements were today and the prosecution led off telling the jury that although Albert Robert Gaxiola may not have pulled the trigger, he was the one responsible for recruiting Minuteman Shawna Forde and her lapdog Jason Eugene “Gunny” Bush because he, Gaxiola, MORE

Laine Lawless' latest motion suggests complicity in Arivaca murders

Arizona nativist and whacked out desert dyke Laine Lawless is at it again, filing another frivolous motion in Judge John S. Leonardo’s court. This time, it is a motion demanding full transactional and testimonial immunity for anything she might say as a witness. Generally, people don’t ask for immunity unless they have something to hide. We’ve said all along that Lawless, and perhaps her buddy Chuck Stonex, should have been charged with accessory after the fact for their quick response to Shawna Fordes summons for help bandaging shooter Jason Bush’s leg wound. It came out in court last week during the hearing on Lawless’ “Motion to Quash” her subpoena as a witness for the prosecution, that she had told detectives MORE
