Did you notice how DA Luis Saenz positioned himself in the courtroom to get in the picture with the "Killer Grandmother". Luis is a DICK and a political HAM!APRIL 24, 2018 AT 4:14 PM Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Did Cameron County District Attorney Luis V. Saenz learn his public relations gimmicks too well from previous Public information Officers at his office?
In the top photo, Saenz is seen standing in the wings 197th District Court as alleged double killer Louis Riess sits in an extradition hearing where authorities from Florida petitioned the court for her to go back to that state and be tried for the murder of a woman she befriended.
Minnesota authorities also want her to face murder charges in that state after her husband was found shot to death at their worm farm in Blooming Prairie, Minn.
Riess had been captured in South Padre Island by U.S. Marshals and placed in the custody of Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio, the usual procedure involving a fugitive. The decision on whether to order the extradition based on Florida's request rests on the court, and not on the DA's Office. In fact, the DA has no role whatever in the extradition since Riess was not accused of any crime in Texas.
“Both Florida authorities will be speaking to Minnesota authorities and what we do in these cases is we’ll agree to one trying her and then take her after the first case is done,” Saenz explained to a television station.
We? Last time we heard, Saenz was not sitting on the bench and had no say in what happened to the woman and whether it was in Minnesota or Florida.
In the case of Amit Livingston, the same thing happened. U.S. Marshals captured the killer-fugitive in India and brought him back to serve his sentence in a Texas penitentiary, a sentence he had tried to keep from serving when he fled after he was allowed a 60-day period to "get his business" in order by former 404th District Judge Abel Limas.
When Livingston was returned to Cameron County, Sanez hopped on a plane to Houston and made sure he walked out in front of the prisoner and the sheriff investigator who received the prisoner from the marshals. Again, there was no logical reason for Saenz to intrude in the process.
When Livingston arrived at the airport in Harlingen, he was turned over to...Sheriff Omar Lucio.
With Cinco de Mayo in the horizon, will we see Sanez in Puebla during the reenactment of the battle taking custody of the defeated French soldiers?
