Everyone will have different opinions, but, the trouble here
is that the prosecutor and the district attorney did not use any discretion in
Alexander Castro’s case when they had the opportunity to use discretion when
there was law enforcement was unable to present any evidence other than her
word against his. I ethically believe the only reason the Guadalupe and Bexar
County District Attorney’s office pursued charges, an indictment, and a lengthy trial was because he was a
member of a minority group that are more likely to accept a plea deal or plea agreement.
I hate to say it, but, I’m sure his attorney pressured him and his family to
accept such an agreement by the D.A.’s office. I too feel mad for the girl, she
will move on with her life with her actions hovering over her the rest of her
life because she was not held ethically accountable for her actions by law
enforcement and the Guadalupe and Bexar County District Attorney’s Office. The
system failed both parties in this case. It is truly a burden to be poor and Hispanic
in the state of Texas. I am sure if the alleged suspect was white and the
alleged victim was Hispanic, the Guadalupe and Bexar County District Attorney’s
Office would not have moved forward with charges when the defendant had solid alibi
and evidence proving the alleged suspect could not have committed the crime. In
any other case there would not have been an indictment or charges filed. Sad,
but, this is just my opinion.

This is an absolute embarrassment for both the Guadalupe and
Bexar County District Attorney’s Office and for law enforcement not able to
knowingly recognize if a witness or victim is changing their accounts of the incident
that they are showing signs of deception. When questioning a suspect or victim
the same policy should apply.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Castro family. To
Alexander earn this judgment by remaining a good law abiding citizen, and do
not judge the criminal justice system by a few bad apples.

The Texas legislature is openly admitting that they are considering to bann an indiviual from steady employment, those registered sex offenders are already having trouble finding and holding employment, yet Sen. Nelson is considering to deny an individual life and liberty; yet those individuals that have recieved their state license have proven that they have learned from their mistakes. The Big Picture is the Texas senate wants to take away from families such as funds that pays for rent, food, and for jobs that provide health insurance for these individuals children/ family. Sen. Nelson do you like your job?

Sen. Nelson wants to pass a law that will prevent an individual that has made a mistake earlier in their life, maybe when they were young and foolish, and maybe just a bad chose. If lawmakers do consider senate bill 429 this would open the door for other crimes to be linked to this law; such as DWI offences, the next action the state of Texas would see is not allowing those offenders that have committed a DWI offence would be banned to have a driver license. May be this bill should be passed, statistics and studies have proven that drunk drivers have lead to the most homicides in the country.

Amendment 5 - Trial and Punishment, Compensation for Takings. nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law. Amendment 8 - Cruel and Unusual Punishment. Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. If Texas lawmakers pass this bill into the senate and it becomes law they would violate the Constitution of the United States.???????
