Mexico City ( Her father was KILLED running for Mayor - She takes his place and WINS ) Woo Hoo

Daughter of Murdered Mayoral Candidate Wins Election

MEXICO CITY – On the same day that she buried her father, Alma Leticia Reyes decided that she would follow in his footsteps and continue his candidacy for mayor of a Mexican town herself, and now – after winning the election – she will have the chance to carry out the plans that he intended to implement in office.

“I’m very happy that the majority supported us. They know it’s going to be a three-year period of a lot of work and fulfilling the commitments my father had made,” the 23-year-old, who graduated with a degree in elementary education with plans to be a teacher, told Efe.

On July 2, the body of Ricardo Reyes, Alma’s father, was found bearing bullet wounds a few hours after he had been kidnapped during a funeral.

He was a candidate in Sunday’s balloting for the leftist Citizens’ Movement for the mayorship of the town of Tayoltita, with 12,000 residents, in the central state of Durango.

“It was difficult from the day I decided (to run) because it was the day of my father’s burial and the close of the campaign. It was a very complicated moment when I was saying goodbye and on the same day I had to replace him” in the campaign, the young mayor-elect said.

Regarding the investigation into her father’s killing, Alma said that so far there is one person in custody but she is going to leave the matter in the hands of the authorities.

Although the young woman had not had any political aspirations before this, she said that she helped her father in his campaign and that since there was no campaign budget they devoted themselves to working directly in the neighborhoods organizing various activities.

Among the plans her father had and which now she wants to bring to fruition was to support education, have a paved road built – “because from Durango to here it’s just a dirt road” – and do something about the fact that “there’s not enough water.”

In addition, she plans to work to have more police officers assigned to the municipality, given that currently there are only a few and they focus mainly on administrative tasks, she said.

According to how Alma described her father, who had already been mayor before and who was also involved with business, “he was not a politician, but rather he liked to help people.”

She added that he never commented on controversial issues such as drug trafficking, and so she does not understand why he was killed.

“Being a candidate could be a political matter, because he had no problems with anyone, no fights or anything,” she said. EFE

LA PAZ ( Mob kill 17 yr old boy over attempted robbery - They set him on fire and refuse to give him to police )

LA PAZ – A 17-year-old boy in the central Bolivian province of Cochabamba died en route to the hospital after he was set on fire by a mob over an alleged attempted robbery, authorities said Wednesday.

The boy and his 18-year-old friend were seized last Friday night in the town of Eterazama by a crowd who came running after they heard shouts of alarm about an attempt to steal a motorcycle, the Bolivian press said.

Ignoring pleas from authorities to hand over the suspects, the town’s roughly 500 residents held the youths until Monday night, when they doused them with gasoline and set the younger one on fire.

The boy who was set ablaze died in the ambulance that carried him away from Eterazama, the administrator of Viedma hospital, Gaston Osorio, said.

Authorities were able to rescue the other youth alive.

The 17-year-old’s death brings to five the number of purported criminals killed by mobs in Bolivia in less than a month.

In each of the recent lynchings, participants claimed to be acting under a constitutional provision that recognizes traditional, communitarian justice.

The relevant provision, however, expressly bans the death penalty.

The office of Bolivia’s national ombud condemned the vigilante violence in Cochabamba as “the joint action of a multitude blinded by rage, mistrust and uncontrolled irrationality.”

“We have demanded an end to the impunity that surrounds these deeds,” the ombud’s office said in a statement. “There are now hundreds of cases that have brought no response from the justice system.” EFE

California ( Serial Rapist who raped 40 woman - To be released from "mental hospital " ) Lawyer said he's ok ? OMG

A convicted serial rapist who has been ordered released under strict supervision in Los Angeles County embraced intensive treatment for years while locked in a state mental hospital and is not a public safety risk, his attorney said Wednesday.

Christopher Evans Hubbart's request for release was supported by his treating psychologist at Coalinga State Hospital and the hospital's medical director, said Santa Clara County Deputy Public Defender Jeff Dunn.


Dunn said his 62-year-old client will have to wear an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet, report his movements and submit to regular lie detector and other tests once he is conditionally freed. Hubbart, he said, would be part of a program that has supervised the release of more than 20 sexually violent predators without any committing new attacks.
"He's agreeing to all of these things and has embraced them as part of his treatment," Dunn said. "I do not believe that he's going to re-offend."
Dunn's comments come amid growing alarm in Los Angeles County over a Santa Clara County judge's decision in May to conditionally release Hubbart, who admitted sexually assaulting dozens of women in the 1970s and early 1980s.
Los Angeles County supervisors expressed concern this week that Hubbart would pose a serious risk to public safety and Dist. Atty. Jackie Lacey filed legal paperwork Tuesday in an attempt to have Hubbart released in Santa Clara County instead of Los Angeles.
A Santa Clara County prosecutor said Hubbart will be released once appropriate housing is set up and approved by the judge, a process that could take six months to a year.
Hubbart is among more than 500 offenders in California who have been confined under a law that allows authorities to commit sexually violent predators to state hospitals if they are deemed to have mental disorders that make them likely to re-offend, even if — like Hubbart — they have already served their entire prison sentences. He was one of the first to be committed when the law took effect in 1996.
Hubbart was first arrested in 1972 on suspicion of a string of rapes in Los Angeles and San Bernardino counties and admitted raping about 20 women in the area, according to court records. He was released from a state hospital in 1979 when state doctors determined that he no longer posed a threat, a federal appeals court said. After moving to the Bay Area, Hubbart sexually assaulted more than 23 women during the next two years, according to Los Angeles County prosecutors.
In 1996, at the request of the Santa Clara County district attorney's office, Hubbart was declared a "sexually violent predator" and committed to a state hospital for treatment. Rather than attempting a "cure," the treatment focuses on helping patients identify what led them to commit sexual violence and develop and practice responses to reduce the chance of re-offending, according to the California Department of State Hospitals.
A department spokesman said that 23 sexually violent predators have been conditionally released since 2006. Of those, six were returned to state hospital and one was sent to prison.
Hubbart's lawyer said that the conditional release program's record was detailed in court as part of his client's request for release and that the program's director testified that none of the patients were accused of attacking new victims. Some, Dunn said, were returned to a state hospital for minor violations of their release conditions, such as failing to report a contact with a member of the public. Dunn said one was convicted of possessing child pornography, though it was unclear whether the illegal material was acquired before or after his return home from the state hospital.
Hubbart, the lawyer said, completed in-patient treatment for sexually violent predators last year and his years of therapy included continuous tests by psychologists, lie detector tests, and monitoring of his behavior in the hospital and how he treated female staff members. Hubbart's age also makes him less likely to rape again, Dunn said.
The attorney said he hopes authorities in Los Angeles will become involved with the team of officials who will supervise Hubbart's treatment following his release.
"By working collaboratively with them, they'll be doing a better job at protecting the public," Dunn said.
