Possible release of convicted deputy killer, Mexican Mafia shot caller sparks fear 

The justice system In cali is a fucking joke !

How is it possible to be on death row for over 40 years and not be executed wtf

this is why you dont raid a house in plain clothes

George Gascon is not a prosecutor, he's a facilitator.

This man hasn’t changed, he’s had the same stash this whole time.

Gascon "plays by the rules" when it applies to dangerous criminals being let "out", but not when putting them "in."

So he was watering his lawn while expecting the cops to pull up? Yeah right. The cops messed up.

Gascon went looking for a reason to let this guy off. He’s bought and paid for.

This is the problem with past corruption in L.A county , it bites us in the ass later.

That defense attorney is a real piece of work. This guy had no "best" in his life. He wasn't robbed of anything.

He's an old man on a wheelchair he won't do anything physically...BUT he can give orders to someone else because he's a shotcaller and he can do that outside or behind the walls theres no difference.

Evil man he killed him and if he walks it’s on Gaston.

But he was right, they were from a rival gang coming for him.

Some one being on death row for 40 years is a crime in and of itself!!

Him spending the "best" part of his life in prison saved countless lives

no knock warrants are BS, and so is an inmate's testimony claiming that you confessed to them.

start by investigating how the drugs get in the jail? the officials are corrupt...

1970's LAPD were another LA gang, only with a badge.

Hell of a brocha

Gascon is a piece of work. Not enough to not arrest them at all, now he’s turning the lifers loose.

Everyone knows that jailhouse informants are a joke. 😂

Self defense I remember how corrupt cops were back then

They’re openly hiding advance that can free him 😂😂😂

That’s why I don’t believe in Law and Order!! Because apparently it only matters when it is used against you. When it is time to free you using those same law and orders people fight tooth and nail to keep you in. Even though you are innocent smh. When D.A and prosecutors start following the law then I might regain my faith

that mustache go crazy lol

Just another example of why plain clothes cops have NO BUSINESS CONDUCTING NO KNOCK WARRANT RAIDS...

You cannot enforce the rules if you are breaking the rules.

Gonzalez took his own “best years” of his life.

He needs to be put back in jail for the size of his nose alone

On one hand, Gascon is a criminal's best friend. On the other hand, cops and prosecutors will break the law to get convictions. This is all so confusing.

The fact this man lived 40+ years after the murder behind bars is ridiculous whats the point of the death penalty if were going to have them die in the waiting line

Kinda crazy how if this guy didn't sht a cop, but instead an random bystander, this wouldn't even be on the news, especially with a 7 minute news clip. But since it's a cop, they got real detailed. I've seen the same situation time and time again, where they'll release an evil prisoner after 30+ years and there wasn't much outrage

Public defender as a prosecutor what can go wrong

That's what happens when you have all the tools to prosecute and you still cheat to get a conviction.

So what if he is a shotcaller, the state failed to be professional so now they pay.

The system always wants criminals to have a chance back on the streets no matter what the criminal did.

Gascon actually wants to keep him in prison? Wow! The heat is probably getting to him.

The prosecutors should be ethical. So I understand them wanting to show all evidence if it was hidden previously. Convict should not be released. He killed a man in cold blood.

Everyone saying he can order people to do something needs to understand that if he’s a man with that kind of status then it doesn’t matter where he is he can be in the shu or anywhere in the country and call shots. Where do you think these shots come from? They come from the inside majority of the time just saying

How the hell did L.A. not vote on recalling Gascon? Idk who's more dangerous 76 yr old Gonzalez or George Gascon?? I think Gascon!

The argument might be valid , however, he chose to be a shotcaller. That argument becomes null and void. A person that is trying to prove some other type of defense argument In Court would keep himself out of trouble.Guy isn’t a law abiding citizen,even in jail. Keep his ass there. He might not be a physical threat , but even in his 70’s a shot Caller like that in the streets IS A Threat.

this is what happens when cops are plain clothed rushing into a house ,and now he may get out because they are corrupt

Just unbelievable that a criminal of his ilk could be released to continue a life of crime after the murder of a sheriff's deputy!! Gascon is continuing a questionable breech of public responsibility with this charade!!

Or maybe the gang members in the department wanted guero gone and used homeboys on the street to do it

I’ll say this about the guy even if the guy gets out he’ll be old to be dangerous the guy is old and useless to do anything he’s on life support and is in a wheelchair.

He’s still a threat.If he could call shots from a prison cell locked down 23 hours a day he could definitely call shots at 76 years old in a wheel chair.

Are justice and revenge the same thing?

Is shotgun murder more serious than a pistol murder?

Don't do the crime if you can't do the time

No prosecutors follow the rules!!

Doesnt matter if he's old and on a wheelchair, his word of mouth can posed a threat to others.

Isn't there a audio recordings of the interaction taken. Usually there is when being integrated specially if he's a high profiler.

Gascon talking about ethics is rich

Objectively speaking not Gascon’s fault but the fault of past corruption within the LAPD.

This isnt 1979 this old con wont last a minute in todays world

I doubt the Jail House Snitch. Blessings to the deceased family.

Sheriffs have a bad reputation for being not always doing things by the book. The man probably thought it was a rival gang breaking into his house.

It's all politics in jail

First of all, Gascone should be removed from office. Total disgrace. Second, why was this Gonzalez on death row since the 80's and still alive?

Greasy Newsom wants him released immediately

I like how the firearm is in the back pocket

He wanted a bag of cop 41 years later was it worth it

He knew who they were with red and blue lights

If the police did wrong, best believe they will find any way possible to say they did everything by the book. They will find someone to inform on them whether its true or not. And most importantly, they will fabricate their story to supposedly show they were totally in the right during the raid. I mean lets be honest, how many times have we seen police do wrong and cover up their mistakes. Perhaps the raid was wrongly executed (might be the wrong word to use). Hence, the man was protecting his home and whatever he had anything. Regular looking cars with regular looking people in plain clothes not announcing they're police🤷🏽‍♂️My condolences to the officer doing his job but just maybe Gonzalez didn't want to get robbed. Regardless if he was doing wrong, he has a right to defend his home.

They make excuses for human detritus

Sparks fear? LA county has some more serious problems they need to address that really sparks fear!!! 😂

Steve Cooley let out three strikes when he got it changed in 2012.

When I heard Gascon, I knew the criminal will be free

If evidence was hidden from the defense, he should be released

Man are you serious, he shot the cop while other cops are present and you can't prove on that alone he did it. Are you serious!!! Incompetent idiots. Letting that man out is a disappointment to his children and disrespectful to all involved.

Once I hear LA, I knew this Commifornia was going to pull though for the criminal

Close the borders.

I CAN ONLY IMAGINE WHAT THOSE COPS DID TO HIM WHILE HE WAS IN THE COUNTY JAIL… LET THAT MAN FREEEE

Doesn't matter who he thought the victim was, he murdered a human being. 😢

He certainly looks the part.

If this guy is a confirmed gang member and validated Mexican Mafia member releasing him should be out of the question.

Failure to address themselves as law enforcement hes innocent plus dirty jailhouse snitch to keep him in ? Hes gonna walk free that man

You shoud not beleive 100% of this. Their are 2 sides of every story. This is normal for a chicano to get oppressed by the system.

That's one scary looking individual

40 years on death row ? What’s the point of the death penalty if they let them live for 40 years plus?

Lawlessness everywhere in America

Yet they executed Tookie Williams who had no affiliation to prison gangs

Isn’tit super cool how prosecutors get to hide evidence and then they never go to jail for violating the defendants civil rights? Yeah, super cool.

Most of these guys are changed by the time they come out man … it’s rare when a person comes out after being incarcerated for a long time too do crazy things too go back in ..

Epic ‘stache ..

kind of feel the whole lights and sirens rules out a rival gang trying to come get you.

Man did his time he did a life sentence let him come home

He’s a killer. Period. Intelligent justice is to keep him there for the rest of his life for what he did. But we have stupid people in authority in this new world today so you get this….. smh

Hey alright ABC7! Way to be an asset to your community, a judge dismissed his claims today and said he will remain in prison. Keep up the great work!

He looks like the aged version of the leader of the Mexican vatos in the kitchen scene of “Training Day”.

murder is murder no matter who you thought it was right???

It makes total sense now. A rival gang makes more sense than a cop...Were they dressed as civilians? If so he killed a covilian trying to break into his house...He is not a cop killer...he is just a killer

Karma's a true science. It just takes forever.

most of the times, gang members can spot a cop in plain clothes from miles away.

In todays world, this sounds about right, what a VISCOUS CYCLE we live.😮

Free Jesse Gonzalez!!

Raymond "Machine Gun" Mendoza former EmE member on RU-vid is shaking in his boots. He rat out Jesse back in the 70's.

Should never be freed!

He can still fire a sawed off shotgun from a wheel chair. Therefore, I think that his release from prison should be reconsidered in another 25 years.

An hour ago they announced he won’t be getting out.
