“Frequently, what we find out, is that the probation officer doesn’t even come into play until they get before a Judge, and the Judge singularly makes the decision. And then I can usually fianza the person. It’s quite surprising, actually. Does that depend upon, whether or not, the underlying crime is serious or not?”

“Well, that certainly is going to have an influence over the case…the seriousness of the case. The more serious the case, the easier it is for the Judge to assume that the person should stay on ‘ice’, stay in-custody. And by ‘ice’, I don’t mean immigration but just that they’re put on hold and left where they are. The Judge’s general approach is that it will all come out eventually. Depending upon which county, which procedimientos judiciales there are in place. Some counties, like San Mateo, the Judges are almost always making the decisions, and they won’t even have the District Attorney involved in resolving how the case should go in terms of a sentence. The District Attorney’s office will sit back and let the Judge decide. That’s disadvantageous for the defendant’s attorney because I want to be able to talk with the District Attorney as frequently as I need to…to get the kind of results that I want.
Si el Juez es el único, sólo voy a tener, normalmente, una oportunidad con ese Juez. Si no puedo conseguir que el juez se mueva hacia donde yo quiero en esa primera audiencia de revisión del caso, si así es como lo llaman, no es probable que vaya a conseguir un segundo bocado de la manzana, y el juez va a cambiar de opinión. Y si un juez propone una sentencia, hay muy pocas situaciones en las que otro juez venga y diga "no estoy de acuerdo con mi colega". Casi siempre siguen lo que está anotado en ese expediente".
