Efren Carrillo deserves the gutter

Effren claims that he he chose a trial by jury to set an example.

If Mr. Carillio wanted to set an example as a common man without preferential political treatment he should have chosen a public defender.

Instead he paid copious amounts of money out of pocket for a private  attorney.

The latino community gets screwed often because it can't afford private attorney costs.

If Efern was sincere about identifying with the commoner he should have taken a public defender and accepted the consequences,.

He should resign not because he is a bad guy, but because he hypocritically circumvented the charges that he deserved.

There was a woman who was a victim who did not receive justice.

It is a sad example of justice that Efren represents.

I sincerely hope the second chance he is given does not go in vain. I want to see a young man succeed in politics.

But I have strong reservations when hypocrisy is clearly presented..

From the depths of my heart I wish Mr. Carillo rise once again from the gutter to the top.
