4 “For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”
6 And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. 7 And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? 8 I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Luke, reportedly himself a medical doctor, includes the parable above in his 2000 year old letter to Theophilus, a man seemingly no one can identify. The letter is now included as one of the so-called "gospel" accounts of Jesus life, ancestry and ministry.
Were Jesus to come a second time and base this parable on Cameron County, he might include, not only an "unrighteous" judge, but a heartless district attorney, not inclined to protect the innocent, only those offering favors and enrichment, a phony, who is all show, no substance, namely Luis V. Saenz.
The widow in Jesus teaching illustration would be replaced by a grieving daughter, Isabel Munoz Garcia, who 17 years ago lost her mother, Maria Fidela Garza, who was hit by a vehicle driven by Sandra Blanco at the intersection of Jackson and 13th Street in Brownsville. Mrs Garza and her two grandchildren were described in the Brownsville Herald article as "dragged under the Dodge Ram" and "mangled under the vehicle."
Bobby Wightman-Cervantes of the Brownsville Voice published the details of this case, essentially describing a defendant, Sandra Blanco, who skipped bail and was "on the lam" for 15 years. A key detail is that Blanco's attorney of record was Luis V. Saenz, who, once regaining the District Attorney office orchestrated the stifling, squelching and stymieing of Blanco's prosecution, using staff member Pete Gilman as a manipulated pawn. Gilman, under the guidance of Blanco's lawyer of record, now District Attorney Luis Saenz, steered matters into a mere sentence of probation for a defendent involved in a vehicular accident causing death who subsequently jumped bail.
District Court Judge Ben Euresti, with an opportunity to bring justice to the family, simply sat on his ample derriere, thus linking him to the "unrighteous judge" who didn't "fear God" in Jesus' parable. Unlike that parabolic judge, however, Euresti was never moved by the "bother" of this grieving daughter to grant her justice, never even acknowledging the court letter she submitted to him:
"Dear Judge Uresti,
On or about March 4th, 2013 I called the District Attorney’s Office to follow up on reference below cases:
99-CR-00000701 Aggravated Assault
99-CR-00000702 Aggravated Assault & Injury to Child
99-CR-00000703 Aggravated Assault & Injury to Child
During my conversation with a staff employee of the crime victims advocate it was communicated to me that the District Attorney’s office under the direction of Luis Saenz had filed a motion to dismiss cases mentioned under “Prosecutors Discretion”. At this time Honorable Judge Uresti, I am requesting that the court rule in my favor and deny the motion to dismiss these cases due to the fact that my mom died due to injuries caused as a result of the accident. Furthermore the defense attorney for the defendant, “Sandra De la Luz Blanco,” in the above mentioned cases was Attorney Luis Saenz who is now the Cameron County District Attorney. I find this to to be a gross conflict of interest.
On March the 8th, 2013, I met with Assistant District Attorney Pete Gilman trying to convince him not to dismiss the cases. The meeting was fruitless and ADA Gilman advised me that there was nothing I could do as you (Judge Uresti) had already dismissed the cases and it would not be assigned to a special prosecutor. I explained to Mr. Gilman that I had informed your office about the conflict of interest and that I was given a verbal agreement that your court would hold on to the signing of the motion until the outcome of my meeting with the District Attorney’s office. ADA Gillman said it was too late as you had already signed motion and that this woman would no longer be in the warrant system.
I immediately went over to your court to question your court had signed the motion to dismiss without my knowledge and was deeply shaken thinking how your court could have done something like this when I was given a verbal agreement that the court would wait. Once again, I was not given an honest response by Mr. Gillman when he stated that you had already signed motion to dismiss.

I have since then contacted the FBI and filed an investigation. The public of this community and the nation must find out what is happening and how the “Victims” of Cameron County are now being further “victimized” by our own District Attorney’s office. "

I feel sorry for the FBI but grateful to them. It's disgraceful how we have to keep asking the FBI to clean up our corruption and enforce justice. Why don't our elected officials do the jobs they were elected to do and stop breaking the law, taking bribes, not protecting the innocent, with justice for sale "only those offering favors and enrichment" and selling out! Notice how quickly they pounced on John Chambers on some trumped up charges, because he was running against Victor Cortez. While this woman was murdered and nothing for 17 years, then dismissed the case! We may be on this side of the border but our justice system is puro Mexico.
ReplyDeleteGod bless our FBI.
This is one of the things that happens when a newspaper does not do it's job. There was a time when the Herald would have held the DA's office accountable.
ReplyDeleteIt takes the Feds to clean up this cesspool. The locals won't do it because it is just one Mexican kissing the ass of another Mexican for fun and profit.
