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.
