Judges Need To Be Held Accountable For Their Decisions
Police shot and killed Noemi Guzman after she kidnapped a 3 year old boy, and slashed him with a knife.
The problem here is Guzman had a long history of mental illness and violence. She assaulted a woman in 2018, was given 2 years probation and was released after 5 months.
In 2024, she stabbed her father, doused him with a flammable liquid and tried setting him on fire. She then ran into a church, attacking a priest with a knife, and pepper sprayed police before being taken into custody. She was charged with 4 felonies, but the judge ruled she was not responsible due to insanity.
Unfortunately, she was released and ordered to remain on medication and continue seeing a psychiatrist. A brilliant decision as nutcases frequently stop taking the meds. You could easily predict something horrible like this was bound to happen.
Now she's dead. The boy has a nasty physical scar, and likely psychological trauma.
Our news is filled with stories of violent, crazy people being released again and again, only to commit another heinous crime.
What was Einstein's definition of insanity?

The police didn’t even do a good investigation after my mother died by a bullet through the head. They wrote it off as suicide due to the lies that he and my sister told them. Which included that he was never a violent person and never beat my mother. He beat all of us when we were living with them. He kidnapped a 17-year old boy in the next state and beat and tortured him for hours which maimed him…broken ribs, 7 breaks in his arms, broken nose, cuts and bruises all over his body. He got by with that too. Sheriff came out the next day and told him that the boy’s family wasn’t going to press charges (they decided to move to California because they were so scared), and that they would press charges unless he moved out of the state. So when we came home from school on Friday there was a U-haul trailer packed with things and we were told about it and left.
It seemed like he slipped through every crack. He went on to later do more violent things, things that should have gotten him put in prison. Some of the victims were so intimidated and scared that they wouldn’t press charges. And I believe that he may have killed at least one person. It involved an incident in southern Nevada where he took a man out into the desert in Clark County along with two other men and knocked him behind the ear with a gun so he passed out, and then left him lying there on the sand. I only found out about after telling my sister about an America’s Most Wanted story about someone finding a man’s body that was mummified by the heat and lack of humidity in the desert in Clark County. They said there were no visible wounds and no vehicle around the body and they wanted people to come forward. She then told me what he bragged about doing. This was about 10 or more years after I saw that story.
@cherokeepatti Wow, that is horrible Patti. Back in the day in certain parts of the country the guy you knew would be dealt with by citizen justice. Back in the early 70s a guy beat my sisters husband almost to death in front of her and her son. My sisters husband was no snowflake, we were all surprised he didn't talk about seeking revenge. Within a few short months an arsonist burned the attackers house to the ground, the attacker didn't have homeowners insurance. The arsonist was never found. We all knew what happened, but didn't talk about it.
@DogMan He also burnt down a home of a neighbor in the small town we were living at in another state. Claimed he was trying to smoke out the bees that had stung some of the children. The family wasn’t even home at the time. He got away with that too. Should have been jailed for it on several charges.
@BizSuitStacy I start writing a list of the evil things that he did and start feeling depressed and have to stop. Pretty sure several books could be written and more if I only knew everything he did when he was younger before I was born and later after he moved from state to state. We’ve heard some stories about him through other people but probably not nearly everything even with those stories.
@BizSuitStacy Yes it was. One person shouldn’t be allowed to create so much chaos and destruction throughout his life. If they were seriously dealt with on their first felony they might learn a good lesson and stop doing it, and get the maximum if they reoffend they would be put away long enough to not harm anyone else for a good long time.
