Cold Blooded Murder is Legal for Police

by Alijhandra Wolokolie (awolokolie [at] comcast.net)
The entire booking staff of San Joaquin County Sheriff Deputies got away with brutally murdering my friend in cold blood at the San Joaquin County Jail. The Grand Jury indicted the officers, yet they did not properly charge them and they both got off on a technicality.
<The police arrested Mondez Demon on September 3, 2003 because he was in public beating his girlfriend and neighbors called the police. The police transported him to the jail peacefully. As soon as he was taken to the housing section of the jail the deputies claimed he became combative. The reason he became combative is he learned that he would be housed in a more secure section of the jail, which we call "The Hole". Anyone that knew Mondez knew that if he wasn't willing to go to jail, the police would not have taken him. The two officers that transported him to jail would not have had the ability to handle him.

Anyway, the deputies wanted to put Mondez in the hole due to a previous incident when a correctional officer in prison attempted to beat him, instead Mondez defeated knocked the correctional officer out. When the officers in the tower attempted to shoot him, Mondez covered himself with the sleep officer. The officers tried to charge him with an offense for this act, yet the judge exonerated him.

Mondez must not have been thinking clearly before he willing allowed police to transport him to the jail. If he was, he would have remembered the admonition his his foster mother gave him just a week prior to his death. After Mondez told her about the incident he had in prison, she told him that the Sheriffs will kill him if he ever went to jail in Stockton again.

Mondez talked with a family member until 4:45PM when he was taken back to the housing section of the jail. Mondez's foster mother received a message from a deputy at the County Jail at approximately 5:30PM telling her that they had her son down at the County Jail, and that she could go to court with him on Monday. My entire 31 years of life in Stockton, Sheriff Deputies have never telephoned anyone to inform them that one of their family members is in jail, and when they could go to court for him or her.

Mondez was dead at 7:00PM but the Sheriffs did not inform family members until 3:00AM, and it was apparent that their story was fabricated.

An investigation proved that Mondez was hog tied and beaten to death. Two deputies repeatedly jumped on Mondez back with so much force that he still had shoe prints in his back after his death. The mortician could not conceal the gashes in his face and neck, therfore they were still visible at his funeral. Even the ambulance that responded to the deputies call said he was commatose at least 11 minutes prior to deputies calling for assistance. Furthermore, the ambulance said Mondez had a metal collar around his neck when they arrived on the scene.

Although, the entire booking staff was involved in this murder, the San Joaquin County Grand Jury only indited 2 deputies. One of the deputies retired and he is currently receiving his pention and the other deputy has returned to his position.

The county granted Mondez's biological mother and father $950,000, as compensation for murdering him.>
