Why did illegal who caused third-degree burns over 40 percent of babies body demand to be set free & he was, are illegals now controlling the court rooms with their demands ?Second is the ease with which far too many illegal immigrants avoid answering for even the most violent crimes committed by them.
When examined by medical personnel, 18-month-old Lester Martinez exhibited third-degree burns over 40 percent of his body, and what appeared to be choke marks on his neck and cigarette burns on his shoulder.
After doctors found the explanation given by his father to be inconsistent with these catastrophic injuries, they notified police.
According to officers from the 120th Precinct, after his arrest on May 31, 2005, Lopez tried to deceive them as to his identity.
When his true name was finally ascertained, Lopez was arraigned in Criminal Court in Stapleton on June 2 on charges that included first-degree assault, a Class B felony.
Veteran Criminal Court Judge Alan Meyer fixed bail in the amount of $500,000. Thus detained, Lopez indicated that he wanted to testify before the grand jury.
Since the grand jury was already hearing evidence in the case, the district attorney’s office immediately transported him to St. George so that he could testify as requested.
Bear in mind that Lopez, an employee for six years at a Mariners Harbor supermarket, had spoken English during extensive interviews with police. Furthermore, he signed a comprehensive statement written in English
Nevertheless, when he and his attorney arrived in St. George, they demanded a Spanish interpreter. It appears to have been a move calculated to delay the proceeding, a position that Donovan understandably maintains to this day.
However, the applicable statute contains an exception for circumstances where the district attorney demonstrates “good cause why such order of release should not be issued.”
I’ve reviewed the official stenographic transcript of that June 6 proceeding. The presiding judge was now Ferne Goldstein, a lightweight Civil Court judge who had been assigned to the Criminal Court.
Citing Lopez’s demonstrated facility with the English language and the confusion precipitated by his unforeseeable demand for an interpreter, Assistant District Attorney Santosh Madahar clearly presented good cause for denying his bid for immediate release.
Goldstein initially agreed, even stating that Madahar need not argue any further.
Then, however, in an inexplicable about-face, Goldstein declared, “in any event, he does have to be released.”
Thus, to the consternation of outraged prosecutors, Lopez, the illegal immigrant facing a potential 25-year jail term, walked out of the courtroom on his own recognizance. Although insisting that he would appear before the grand jury the following day, he hasn’t been seen since.
Donovan now faces the daunting task of having to deal with the consequences of Goldstein’s outrageous refusal to detain Lopez for just one more day.
What Lopez did here is similar to what countless other illegal immigrants have been able to engineer to avoid being brought to trial for violent crimes committed on American soil.
While there is a plethora of documentation readily available, consider this from the FBI: As of early 2009, 57 percent of its most-wanted murderers were born outside the United States, and the overwhelming majority of those were Mexican.
On April 23, 2005, Heather MacDonald, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, testifying before the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Border Security, and Claims, decried the negative consequences to law enforcement from sanctuary policies such as those adopted by New York City.
She also noted that 95 percent of all fugitive warrants for murder in Los Angeles in the first half of 2004, were issued for illegal immigrants.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform, a nonpartisan, public interest organization, estimates that, as of 2010, illegal immigration cost American taxpayers $113 billion a year, of which limited aspects of law enforcement accounted for almost $8 billion.
Lopez is, of course, entitled to the presumption of innocence. Still, by his fleeing the jurisdiction, Staten Island’s Number One fugitive is only the tiniest tip of the iceberg.
But it’s a mighty mass – one the ship of state has already struck; one that’s absolutely bringing America down.
This, while spineless politicians watch and illegal immigrants and their organized advocates become more brazen by the day.

It happens every day !!
Here in Denver when you go to court, the english speakers have to wait for the spanish speaking to go first. You can watch the judge and DA give plea bargains to all the illegals, the most popular is "agricultural trespass" in lieu of what ever crime they were arrested for.
It is a joke to go to the court room and watch how there are 2 tiers of justice, one for the American Citizen and one for the illegal. It always favors the illegal.
