.@SalinasPD's benefactors - the politically active Cabrera clan.
It's a good look.
Murdered a single mother for profit and his lawyer claimed the @MCoSheriff detective Martinez was persecuting the family.
Nonsense.
"The jury reached the verdict, which included a guilty finding on the special circumstance allegation of murder for financial gain, Wednesday following a three-week trial. According to the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office, Cabrera strangled Singh in their Marina home"
"At one time, local defense attorney *Larry Biegel said he thought Martinez”s investigation was a vendetta. Now he thinks the deputy may have been right all along."
* Larry Biegel is Monterey County's "Better Call Saul"
This is about marijuana, licensing, the @CityofSalinas and @WendyRootAskew's County of Monterey. Public officials who have been receiving cash (and drugs) for legislative favors.
The paid press talking about @RobBonta buddy @SupervisorAlejo or former Salinas Mayor @CASenCaballero being a subject of interest in an ongoing @FBI probe into bribery and corruption, involving marijuana interests.
Fast forward a couple months after this message and it was learned that it was ALSO @SupervisorAlejo "allegedly" taking bribes from marijuana interests in Monterey County.
@GavinNewsom's new Attorney General @RobBonta is particularly good friends with Louie Alejo.
These are two big influencers in Monterey County. Two assholes who were implicated in a major cocaine case that also implicated Dave Drew, a man @JerryBrownGov corruptly pardoned in 2018.
The two men are partners in Monterey California's Cannery Row.
Brown's dad once had an
2/
ownership interest in Cannery Row property with San Francisco's Ben Swig.
Corruption is deeply rooted in our society.
County Supervisor John Phillips was in the DA's office at this time and he helped kill this major case. It was that easy for a few in power to do.
3/
John Phillips and a corrupt judge named Steven Sillman, whose history of misconduct is a quiet legend in MoCo, worked for the bad guys in undermining the People's case. And @salnews was pressured because of the epic journalism they did on this story.
Hackett was convicted of cocaine trafficking in San Benito County in 2018 and then moved his enterprises to straw owners - Hackett appealed his conviction, despite his plea of no contest, lost and in the appeal Hackett was caught on a @DEAHQ wiretap of another target.
3/
Hackett later violated his felony probation and another cover-up took place. Monterey County probation and @SalinasPD looked the other way on Hackett's continued illegal activity and a local judge, Pam Butler, gave him a pass on his violations.
@DaytonPubPolicy In securing a $2,000,000 economic development grant from the federal government - the @CityofSalinas committed fraud on its application to the agency.
To the best of my knowledge it was never fully investigated by the @FBISanFrancisco - but should have been.
... disingenuous journalism from the @mcweekly, again.
Rolando and Ricky Cabrera are rumored to have an unusually close relationship w/ @SalinasPD mgmt and after this blog requested records relating to the Cabreras and SPD, sources tell us that SPD mgmt is "freaked out" about
2/
records that will have to be produced by the @CityofSalinas as it relates to the Cabrera relationship with certain Sainas personnel.
You do not have to wait for 990
filings to inspect the "books of a 501(c)3.
Books are subject

to public inspection during normal business hours - not unlike public records which are to be made available during the normal business hours of public entities.
