Sentence of Jesus Aguirre commuted by Gov. Brown

(Hat tip to Mark Daniels for noting and publicizing this.)

I’d like to think the Vern’s reporting here may have played at least a small role in this.  (Note: those who did nothing to help this young man have no standing to give an opinion on that.)

Mark notes that this commutation will officially take effect when California Secretary of State Alex Padilla, signs and gold-stamps this Document.

Welcome back into society, Jesus Aguirre — anyone out there have a job for him? — and congratulations to all of the activists who would not let hope for his release die.


About Greg Diamond

Somewhat verbose attorney, semi-retired due to disability, residing in northwest Brea. Occasionally runs for office against bad people who would otherwise go unopposed. Got 45% of the vote against Bob Huff for State Senate in 2012; Josh Newman then won the seat in 2016. In 2014 became the first attorney to challenge OCDA Tony Rackauckas since 2002; Todd Spitzer then won that seat in 2018. Every time he's run against some rotten incumbent, the *next* person to challenge them wins! He's OK with that. Corrupt party hacks hate him. He's OK with that too. He does advise some local campaigns informally and (so far) without compensation. (If that last bit changes, he will declare the interest.)
