Thank you.
The Downey Murder
At one tim...Unknown:<br /><br />Thank you.<br /><br /><b>The Downey Murder</b><br />At one time, LE thought that Gargiulo was involved in this murder but detectives eventually ruled Gargiulo out as a suspect. At one time, LE also thought that Gargiulo was involved in the Juliana Redding murder. The court was informed of the people's position on the Downey case.<br /><br /><b>Pro per Status</b><br />The case would still have gone to trial if Gargiulo represented himself. It would have taken longer, but it would go to trial. <br /><br />Gargiulo would have been pressed by the Judge to meet deadlines set by the court to respond to motions filed by the prosecution. While he was pro per, Gargiulo only responded to [IIRC], a single motion filed by the prosecution, and that was the Perkin's Operation motion. He did not work on his 995 motion. The 995 motion is the basic, first motion the defense files after the preliminary hearing.<br /><br />When you make the decision to represent yourself, you do lose some of your rights. You can never claim <i>later</i> that your counsel was ineffective. <br /><br />Due to his own actions, Gargiulo had lost his law library privileges, and there was no way they would be reinstated by the court. There were several court hearings on the Sheriff's actions that took away Gargiulo's pro per status. <br /><br />Just because you decide to go pro per does not mean the law is required to provide you with access to a law library. However, in CA they do. If you violate the security/safety rules in place in the jail, the Sheriff can take that privilege away. It's just that simple. <br /><br />The court would never dictate to the LA County Sheriff's jail, which inmates constituted a security risk. I've never seen a judge do that.<br /><br />Gargiulo had to have seen the impossibility of the situation which is why re relinquished his pro per status.

Thank you, it has to be a lot of work. I heard there was another murder he's suspected of doing in Downey. He was never going to stop killing. I also suspect it never would have gone to trial if he was still pro seUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908252926088546311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757696342634699253.post-25839597506585574862016-08-26T15:15:52.446-07:002016-08-26T15:15:52.446-07:00Thanks for the update.
