If Prop 57 is designed to release tens of thousands of “non-volent” offenders from prison, why are so many violent offenders currently being released under another program. Something smells fishy to me. And, these are only the A’s in Sacramento County.
Alleyne, Justice Lemar: To call Mr. Alleyne a “non-violent” offender borders on the absurd. His criminal history is replete with arrests and convictions for offenses involving violence and the possession and use of firearms. To call his strike offenses “non-violent” is offensive. Kicking in the front door of a residence while threating to kill his wife and others present all in the presence of his 1 year-old daughter are violent actions under any rationale definition of the word.

Alvarado, Jesus Javier: Inmate Alvarado is a poor candidate for early parole and should serve h is full prison term. The combination of violence, weapons, and gang association makes Inmate Alvarado an unreasonable risk to the citizens of California. In the interests of justice and public protection, the Sacramento County Di strict Attorney’s Office strongly opposes his early release. District Attorney’s Letter Opposing Early Release
Amaya, Richard: Inmate Amaya’s actions across the years beating and kicking, pointing a rifle at a law enforcement officer in a situation that eventually required the SWAT team to resolve or recklessly endangering the lives of innocent, holiday motorists – make it clear that Inmate Amaya ‘s early release should be denied and he should be kept in the custody of the state until he serves the entire term of his sentence. District Attorney’s Letter Opposing Early Release
Antonio, Robert Lee: Robert Antonio has spent the better part of his adult life incarcerated. The only reason for this is his repeated pattern of making poor choices which leads him to commit crimes, putting our communities and law enforcement in extreme danger. Though he admits to being a professional car thief, that statement alone does not paint an accurate picture on who he is. Inmate Antonio has demonstrated again and again, often with reckless indifference, that he has no regard for the lives or safety of police officers and the public at large. He remains an unreasonable risk to our com unities. District Attorney’s Letter Opposing Early Release
Arceneaux, Clyde Joseph: Inmate Arceneaux was convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence and then went to prison for first degree burglary with a prior strike. He received a 9 year prison sentence after a plea for assault with a deadly weapon, and arrested for possessing drugs while in prison. He violated parole repeatedly upon his release and in 2012 was given the benefit of a misdemeanor when he possessed methamphetamine. He was arrested for being a felon in possession of a gun in 2013 which was not filed, but the gun was not forgiven on his most recent offense. – District Attorney’s Letter Opposing Early Release
Armstrong, Trevon: Inmate Armstrong has demonstrated an inability to follow the rules pertaining to his release. He poses an unreasonable risk to public safety as demonstrated by his utter disregard for the terms and regulations of his probation. Granting inmate Armstrong an early release is rewarding him for his behavior of violating probation, possession of a firearm while on felony probation, and being a gang member. Inmate Armstrong is in no way a “non-violent” offender. District Attorney’s Letter Opposing Early Release
Arnell, Herbert: Allowing inmate Arnell early release does nothing but guarantee more victims, more quickly. Inmate Arnell has picked up either a substantive offense or violated his parole in 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1997, 2000, 2003, and 2005. Arnell also has four prior prison commitments. Most of the gaps in Arnell’s criminal history are due to him being in custody and thus unable to commit more crimes until his release. ODistrict Attorney’s Letter Opposing Early Release
