The ultimate implications for society are paramount here, he said. It was in the context of these parallel federal and local investigations that seven search warrants were served to suspected gang members residences on October 28, 2014 as part of a multi-agency operation to crack down on illicit club activities. Second, police found a shotgun slug casing inside the Martinez living room, meaning that the shot that killed Shaun Diamond was fired from inside the house. The silence implying his dissent: there was a way to tell. The ruling won't keep . Garden nodded at Sandras explanation. If prosecutors had decided to eschew the death penalty, that meant they had doubts. Her responses were tearful and often terse, prompting the court to allow Jack Garden to treat her as a hostile witness. There he reunited with prosecutor Jack Garden who was now joined by co-counsel Michael Blake a man who had the easy confidence and commanding stature of a politician. She admitted Martinez owned the items and that he had been involved with the brotherhood for over three years. On October 28, 2014, in San Gabriel, California, Mongols member David Martinez allegedly shot and killed Pomona Police SWAT Team member Shaun Diamond. Our research centers on the study of fundamental fluid mechanics problems involving complex fluids and complex flows, typically on small scales. Moss and his partner loaded Diamond into the ambulance and drove off towards Huntington Memorial Hospital, sirens blaring as they left the active crime scene behind them. Instead they would be charging first-degree murder. Deputy DA Jack Garden painted a straightforward picture Martinez was a gang member who saw the officers and took his shot. Sullivan was glad to be back on the case but he was apprehensive about Martinez, given their abrasive parting. Mongol Anthony "Bronson" Barrera, 43, was stabbed to death and two Hells Angels - Jeramie Bell, 27, and Robert Tumelty, 50 - were shot to death. Before moving to Annie's current city of Temple City, CA, Annie lived in San Gabriel CA and Arcadia CA. After the weeks, months and years in jail he was desperate to be free to take care of his family. He didnt know it was the police didnt see them and didnt hear them. The logo also called a patch is emblazoned on the vests, T-shirts and motorcycles of hundreds of members. John told me that I have one year, one year, David said during the call. Corporal Richard Aguiar and Officer Diamond breached the outer metal security door of the home with a push-pull device called a ripram. Diamond turned to discard the device as someone inside the home opened the inner, wooden door. Join Facebook to connect with Annie Yumiko Santillan and others you may know. That evening Jim Moss had been positioned behind a Mustang in a neighbors driveway. In a split second a shot rang out. Annie Yumiko Santillan is on Facebook. To them, this whole trial was founded on a fabrication by the police. Now, officials have charged four of the gang members, identified as 49-year-old William Nelper ("Flip"), 27-year-old William Boylston ("JC"), 43-year-old Jason Meyerholz ("Country"), and. The current president of the Mongols Motorcycle Club is David Santillan, a man who claims that the organization has changed its code of conduct to exclude drug abusers and criminals. Talking to reporters he said, the patch is like a ring in a marriage, it symbolizes our loyalty and commitment. Ultimately, the Mongols retained rights to their emblem under free-speech laws, but the ATF continued to pursue other means of eliminating the Mongols brotherhood. It was clear from the outset that the trial would not be amicable. The Mongols are relying on an explosive video shared by Mr. Santillan's wife, Annie Santillan, who, during a stretch when she was angry with her husband over his infidelity, had her. He also denied that he ever helped Mr. Santillan win lenient treatment in his brushes with the law, which included a crash in his Mercedes five years ago while driving impaired. He pelted Martinez with questions poised to slip him up. With no explicit confession from Martinez, Lugo called Officer Leo Noyola, the leading expert in Perkins operations. If Martinez didnt hear the police announce and he didnt see them before firing the gun, then he was innocent of murder. He challenged Richard Aguiar about his training, insinuating that Diamonds death was the result of friendly fire. Martinez explained that the night of the incident was pure chaos. He was the assigned first man. After Sergeant Aguiar and Officer Diamond breached the metal security door with the ripram, he was supposed to be the first officer to enter the household. The court was packed with police officers who got there early to place reserved signs on the gallery benches for Diamonds family. But he was also looking forward to retirement. There were cracks in their case and he would find them. Im sorry. Sandra testified for hours regarding Martinezs involvement in the Mongols Motorcycle Club. Sullivan fumed at the counsels table, flipping through stacks of papers and wrinkling his usually pristine suit-jacket.

Each of the officers was a new battle for Sullivan, another opportunity for him to unravel the prosecutions narrative. Sullivan let the words hang in the air. This case was filed in Los Angeles County Superior Courts, Pasadena Courthouse located in Los Angeles, California. Sandra didnt want to testify but because she and David didnt have a marriage license, their relationship was only considered a common law marriage. A short, bald-headed man, Lugo was admired for his persistence. If they saw him as a cold-blooded gang member, then chances of a favorable outcome were slim. And the flowers of spring. The shocking accusation arrives after a secretly recorded video of Santillan talking to his wife about a special agent from the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. The Mongols MC will not get a second chance to clear itself of federal racketeering charges after a judge last week denied its request for a new trial. Theyve also grown in criminal operations, having been convicted of illicit drug trafficking, money laundering, robbery, extortion, firearms violations, and murder crimes that have been exposed by undercover ATF agents who infiltrated the club. Later in the morning, Detective Lugo received a somber phone call: Officer Shaun Diamond was dead. How loud was the sound of the ripram hitting the gate? Martinez lived in a two bedroom, Spanish style, stucco home with his parents, his sister, Brenda, who has Down syndrome, his wife, Sandra, and their two young children, Alyssa and David Jr. A federal appeals court is separately considering an appeal of the conviction. Continuances and motions pushed the trial further into the distance. The gun that Martinez saw that made him fear for his life. After speaking with his family, David was now convinced that the police had lied to him about the shooting. The coroners report showed that Diamond was shot in the back of the neck. On cross-examination Jack Garden sauntered around the lectern. Do inmates sometimes lie because they know theyre being recorded? he asked. Sullivan reassured him. Sullivan called Noyola back to the stand and played the edited tapes. At various points in each recording Martinez asserted that he didnt know it was the cops at his door and that he thought it was the Mongols. David might not have heard the police announce themselves at all. The judge read the official charges brought against him: capital murder with the special circumstance of murder of a police offier engaged in his duties. Our research into th e events leading to the raid on David Martinezs home offered us valuable context for what drove the prosecutions strategy in pursuing this case. The evidence and the full force of the state were mounted against him and his lawyer was suspiciously absent, difficult to contact, and abrupt in his correspondence. Tensions were high after two incidents in which Mongols members were shot at or pushed off their bikes on freeways by other bikers, leaving one member killed, one paralyzed and several others wounded.

On the stand, Mr. Santillan called the claims about his daily meetings with Mr. Ciccone an absolute lie. (He acknowledged encountering Mr. Ciccone by chance at a Starbucks near the courthouse once during the trial.). Jack Garden called Sandra Roman to the stand. During all that time, the threat of the death penalty hung above Martinezs head keeping him up at night. But it wasnt clear that he knew he was firing at an officer. In the fall of 2017 David Martinez fired Edward Esqueda a man he would later call a liar who doesnt deserve to be called an attorney and the court reappointed Brady Sullivan as counsel. He wore classic suits, well fitted and meticulously pressed. Nor do I believe that there would be, quite frankly, an acquittal in a second trial., Mr. Santillan, who led the Mongols for nearly 13 years until he was voted out of the club in July of last year, vehemently denied that he had ever betrayed the group. But experts like Leo Noyola stand by the procedures, claiming they are highly effective. Still, Sullivan knew that in order to convince the jurors he had to give them something as close to that fictional record as possible. They had a strong self-defense case. David Santillan was born on 05/14/1970 and is 52 years old. David Martinez struggled to contain his emotions as he watched his wife raise her right hand to take her oath. The attorney wasnt an expert in criminal law but he told Martinez one thing: do NOT talk to anyone even the other inmates could be informants. Moss tried to alert the other officers that someone was coming but his voice was drowned out by the banging and the shouting and barking of Martinezs dogs. Anyone can read what you share. Santillan Annie Yumiko , filed a (n) Divorce,Separation - Family case against Santillan David , in the jurisdiction of Los Angeles County. Usually this wasnt a problem, but it was for Martinez, who claimed he was no longer associated with the Mongols. He told the undercover officers that he assumed it was the Mongols when he heard the banging. This was not an act. The medical examiner testified that during the autopsy he found several metal fragments in Diamonds brutalized airway suggesting that the injury came from a shotgun. How could David shoot a man in the back when he was standing in front of him? She informed him that his father was doing well after having surgery to repair the bullet wound on his arm.

But in court on Monday, Annie testified that her husband has never been a confidential informant, rather she was just trying to destroy him by sending the text message to the Mongols. "It's about honor, respect and pride," David Santillan said. As funeral proceedings carried on in Ontario, Sullivan was hard at work on Davids case, sorting through discovery sent from the DAs office.
