Accused drug traffickers Jose Zendejas and Benito Madrigal failed to show in court Thursday after being released on cashless bail. They were classified as 'low risk.'

and so-called criminal justice reform for a policy that allowed the two alleged drug traffickers to go free with nothing but a promise to come to court.

"Although there is a need for a pre-trial release program, to do it covertly in the middle of the night in a very nontransparent matter is extremely dangerous," Tulare County District Attorney Tim Ward told Fox News on Thursday outside the courthouse, referring to the court’s initial decision to release the defendants. "What we discovered here was that it was occurring based on a decision without any foundation of the facts of the case.

moepacks1 Build that wall asap

If a Judge considered them low-risk then I question the true motives of the Judge. Because a 10 yr old could tell you they were high risk.

If it's free, it must be for me! 🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏾‍♂️

WTW THEY SHOULD HAVE CHARGED THEM A VERY LARGE BAIL AMOUNT ONE THAT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO PAY SO THEY WOULD STAY IN JAIL

Drug traffickers need to be treated as terrorists

Gosh, that’s so weird they didn’t show up! 🙄

Thank you Democrats

Surprise

Them guys worked for the cartel what do you think happened to those guys losing all that money?

Low risk when that dude’s shirt says SAVAGE right on the front Gascon gotta get Hooked on Phonics, it’s right there, pal!!

How many different times/ways does the government have to tell you.. We have no problem with your drug use death due to fentanyl...it's maybe preferential

the 🏃🏿‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏃🏽🏃🏻🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏼‍♂️

You can run...

“Low risk” to whom

They used the get out of jail free card, Gascon’s business card.

Better Call Saul

Anything but low risk. A big haul. Lived out of state (WA?) Were they legal? Cannot remember... Free as birds! Laughing!

a bigger surprise would have been... 'they showed up in court' - geez- even us non media people knew they would be a no show... JusticeFailure

Gee, thanks Gascon...we'll remember you in November.

Does anyone think that these drivers made the fentanyl? Packed the fentanyl? Paid for the transport, storage and distribution of the fentanyl? But y'all go ahead with the narrative.

lawdawgseven And they wonder why Democrat ran cities are so dangerous. Corrupt DAs and Liberals go hand in hand.

Thanks Democrat

I mean seriously, it really seems like the criminal justice system is doing their best to help the criminal element, and they are happy with these results, I mean they have to be at this point right?

Why do they trust CRIMINALS to obey the rules? 🙄

To be fair, CA Glorious Party does not consider drug overdoses to be a risk. More of a benefit.

Surley they just got their dates wrong.

Who could have possibly seen this coming?

Judge: Please return in 60 days for trial. The charges you face carry 20 years each, perhaps 100 years total. Accused: And I can walk out now? Judge: Yes, but promise to come back. Accused: Goodbye. Lawyer: He meant 'see you later', Your Honor. Judge: And be good, young man!

LADAOffice

what 🤡 That's blasphemy...that can't be true. Per Georgie Gascon these kind of upstanding citizens always make their court dates. Unheard of...🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you Mr Gascón. We owe all this to you. U must feel so proud! 🤬🖕🏼

This is GeorgeGascon LA County. How is that Soros money working out for residents now?

Madrigal... Madrigal... Where do I know that name 🤔 Oh yeah Encanto

They have no issue dealing massive quantities of an incredibly leathal street drug but they're low risk.. How can anyone come to that conclusion?

Didn’t we vote to keep cash bail here in California? Oh that right, our votes don’t mean shit and the dictators in charge just do whatever the hell they want anyways.

They both left to Mexico. What did Gascon think 🤔 was going to happen. 🤦🏽‍♂️

This is fine...

Another one of many liberal policy failures.

More liberal politics failing our nation. It’s been one failed policy after another. Of course they were not going to show up?!?! 😂

And now they have warrants, and when they are snagged again, it will be decades before they see sunlight again.

I am so surprised.

The judges, the politicians have all calculated to destroy public safety. They should all be named and shamed.

this is how gun laws work.

It's a good thing we don't have a drug problem in CA RecallGascon

As soon as we can get answers as to why USC and UCLA left the PAC 12 without discussing it with NewSCUM, we can circle back to this.

Massive fentanyl— we are talking 150,000 pills. Outrageous that the governor would place so many people/citizens of CA at risk

Shame on that judge that let them go like that! Let the police do their job

See…CA truly is the best place for small business owners!

dahn_jennifer Everyone surprised, raise your hand.

What?!? This is shocking information that in no way could have been predicted would happen

lmao let’s goooooooooooo

And from the liberals? Crickets…

Big shocker

They are both probably dead in some hole.

Drug traffickers… low risk? Are you all on crack? Are you on crack GeorgeGascon ?

And this is why people are leaving California. This insanity.

Lol. Low risk ? How stupid.

Who else is shocked 2 drug dealers, who don't live in CA, would not show up for their court hearing?...They seemed like honest, upstanding guys! Shocking!

brings together District Attorneys from all across the country that uses nonfeasance to circumvent laws and promote their radical agenda. Recalled SF DA Chesa Boudin, hopefully soon to be recalled LA DA Gascon and Philly DA Larry Krasner are all here.

Jeez! They were only facing 14 years in prison; why did they stupidly run?🤷‍♂️ Now their futures are ruined!😢 They'll never get an executive job at Microsoft or Google now!😧 Who could POSSIBLY have seen this coming?!🤦‍♂️🙄

They weren't even local! The judge RoRed these dudes even though they're from Washington!

Yeah, thanks DA Gascon. You saved two pillars of the community. Sheesh.

Im shocked!!! For a judge to believe these idiots are low risk means he has no business being a judge.

Way to go Newsom, you putz

Woooopsies!

Cashless bails need to end.

Obviously. 😂

Shocker.

😡😡😡😡

Wow!! I’m shocked, what a surprise. Said no one… EVER

Bravo Gascon u damn 🤡🤡🤡🤡

GavinNewsom comments?

Might’ve ran off or might be dead.. that’s a big loss that someone has to be held accountable for

More shitty law enforcement provided by gascon

Whaaaa noooo who could have imagined that might happen 🙃

Where is the local news tonight? Why are you airing the b.s. 1/6 clown show?

Sounds about right..

Thank Kamala Harris.

Big surprise. And why democrat cities like LA are shit holes.
