Judge Denies Release Despite Defense Warning That Accused Could Lose Property
A San Joaquin County Superior Court judge denied a defense motion for an accused individual’s release on his own recognizance, despite arguments from his public defender regarding potential property loss. Judge Chrishna Martinez maintained the $400,000 bail across multiple cases, citing the accused’s history of probation violations, current felony charges including second-degree burglary and a newly added carjacking offense, which she described as ‘serious,’ and the application of California’s ‘Three Strikes’ law.
