A gunman accused of shooting dead a world-famous Caltech genius last week was let out of jail just two months ago despite a felony gun charge, the California Post has learned.
Freddy Snyder was released by a judge using an “unnecessary prosecutions” law in December — before allegedly going on to kill Carl Grillmair in Llano last week.
The 29-year-old was picked up two days before Christmas for carrying a loaded firearm and an attempted jail escape, but was released on his own recognizance.
The felony case was suddenly dismissed under the Penal Code 1385 California, often referred to as PC 1385, a code ultimately decided by the judge.
It is unclear why Snyder’s charges were dropped by the judge under the code. The electronic court records did not provide the name of who was overseeing the case.
DCD Law, an LA law firm, said: “The key standard for dismissal under Penal Code 1385 is the “interest of justice.”
“This means the court looks beyond technical rules and focuses on what is fair. The judge considers the nature of the offense, the circumstances of the accused, and public interest.”

Yes of course. The Smartest people in the room will always complain. That there are simply too many people being locked, up in california jails and prisons.
This makes perfect sense. When you think this way.
Gavin Is DONE After This… Turns Out That The White Liberal Savior Complex Is A Hell Of A Drug.

Newsom Pardons Illegal Alien Attempted Murderer.
“Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) declared that he could not read a speech “like” a black official during a racist weekend chat, but it seems he also cannot read or understand official court sentences because he just happily pardoned an attempted murderer.
…
DHS is slamming California Gov. Newsom after they say he pardoned a Cambodian illegal alien w/ a deportation order who was convicted of attempted murder & assault w/ a firearm, which will shield him from deportation. DHS says the pardon removes his qualifying convictions for deportation, & he can now re-open immigration proceedings and remain in the U.S. for the process, which often takes years.
…
In his pardon, Gov. Newsom writes:
‘This act of clemency does not minimize or forgive his conduct or the harm it caused…he has provided evidence that he is living an upright life and has demonstrated his fitness for restoration of civic rights.’
…
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin angrily stated, ‘Governor Newsom pardoning an illegal alien convicted of attempted murder, so he can remain in our country, is absolute INSANITY. These are the criminal illegal aliens he and his sanctuary politicians are protecting. He is putting the lives of all Americans at risk.’
McLaughlin then explained why and how the criminal foreigner lost the card that had given him the privilege of being in America, a privilege which he abused. ‘Somboon Phaymany lost his green card following his conviction for attempted murder and assault with a firearm,’ she said. ‘Following the conviction, he was placed in removal proceedings and issued a final order of removal by a judge. Gavin Newsom’s pardon took away this attempted murderer’s qualifying convictions that made him removable from the U.S.’
…”
[Evidently: In California felony convictions can mysteriously be erased, and convicted attempted murder illegal aliens are leading a upstanding life and entitled to ‘civic rights’ they did not have before because they entered the country illegally. Only in left wing looney land Bizarro world.]

Newsom Tells Black Audience He’s Just Like Them Because He Has a Mental Disorder.
” ‘This is AI slop. It is impossible that Newsom actually said this,’ social scientist Charles Murray posted in response to California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s latest ham-fisted attempt at connecting with voters outside his state. ‘Right?’ Murray added, and you could practically hear him begging for it not to be true.
‘Holy God in heaven please tell me that my black brothers in Christ can look at the world’s stupidest white man and understand that he is a bad person,’ my old X acquaintance Political Math added.
My Townhall colleague Amy Curtis noted, ‘It’s just like when Joe Biden said, ‘Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.’
Deny all you like, but yes, as Chad Prather explained, ‘Gavin Newsom told a black audience that he’s just like them because of his low SAT scores and inability to read.’
…
Newsom made his ‘I’m like you… I’m a 960 SAT guy’ comments during a book tour stop in Atlanta on Sunday while promoting his memoir, Young Man in a Hurry. In too much of a hurry to stop and consider comparing his mediocre SAT score — which was due to dyslexia — to a largely black audience.
‘His way of bonding with black people is to tell them how stupid he is & that he can’t read,’ entertainer Nikki Minaj said. ‘This means my first read on him was correct. He’s been handed so many things & put in high positions he never earned or deserved.’
She went on: ‘Do you wanna know the craziest part of this footage that will haunt him forever? He’s literally slowing his speech down & talking in a sporadic cadence.’
…”
[note: clarification for – ‘Do you wanna know the craziest part of this footage that will haunt him forever? He’s literally slowing his speech down & talking in a sporadic cadence.’ – this technique is explained in the video above a little into the video, but there is a study that shows white left wing liberals do this. They do this because of ‘The White Liberal Savior Complex’ where they automatically talk down to and more slowly and sporadically in speech cadence to black people and other minorities because they view these as inferior and stupid and unable to understand (thus need to be ‘rescued’ thus their ‘white savior left winger’) – its their racism peeking out. The study referenced in the video shows that only white left wing liberals do this (which includes their democrat politicians). That’s what Nikki Minaj is talking about, black people have been on to this trick for a while – it was common with Biden (and Harris to some extent even though shes not white but she also tried it on white audiences), you even saw it with all of his white democrat cabinet members when they did interviews when the interviewer was black. Its one of those blind spots in their mental illness, they do it on purpose and automatically, don’t recognize it as racist, but to them its ok because they view them selves as morally superior so they don’t see it as being wrong – ya know, just like they did not see slavery as being wrong, just like they did not see thousands of immigrants and illegal aliens, adults and children, being human trafficked into labor and sex slavery as being wrong. Left wing liberals, the most racists people ever.]
