    Nunez's son sentenced to 16 years in fatal stabbing case

    Nenyez's son sentenced to 16 years in fatal stabbing case

    A San Diego judge today sentenced the 21-year-old son of former Assembly Speaker Fabian Nenyez to 16 years in prison for his role in a fatal stabbing of a college student in San Diego.

    From the Associated Press:

    Esteban Nenyez and co-defendant Ryan Jett were given the maximum sentence for voluntary manslaughter Friday.

    Prosecutors say the 21-year-old Esteban Nunez, Jett and two other men were angry because they were refused entry to a party and attacked Luis Santos, stabbing him in the chest, near San Diego State University on Oct. 4, 2008.

    The two others pleaded guilty to lesser charges.

    Esteban Nenyez was arrested the same year his father ended his Assembly tenure as the longest-serving speaker in California's era of legislative term limits.

    The defense argued the men acted in self-defense.

    Maximum term for son of former Assembly speaker

    By Dana Littlefield, UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

    SAN DIEGO COURTS — Two Sacramento men, including the son of the former state Assembly speaker, were sentenced to 16 years in prison Friday for their role in a 2008 fight at San Diego State University in which a college student was killed and three other people were injured.

    Esteban Nuñez, 21, who is the son of former speaker Fabian Nuñez, and Ryan Jett, 24, were sentenced in San Diego Superior Court to the maximum prison term. Two others involved in the brawl will be sentenced later Friday afternoon.

    Judge Robert O’Neill said he imposed the longest sentence available under the law on Jett because he started the Oct. 4, 2008 fight that led to death of 22-year-old Luis Santos, a Mesa College student, and wounded three others.

    O’Neill said he believed it was Jett who caused Santos’ death based on evidence presented in previous court hearings. The judge also noted that Jett tried to distance himself from the crime by returning to Sacramento, helping to burn the clothing he and others were wearing the morning of the stabbing, and tossing knives into the Sacramento River.

    No USA president, and rare few candidates for the presidency, will admit that this type of thing even exists in the USA - except in recent weeks they seem to have woken up for some odd reason.

    Thankful they have, but PLEASE this has been going on for DECADES.

    Know when this will be over in no time?

    When one of their own gets harmed or worse, then there will be an emergency vote to put a three layer fence up just like the successful California fence.

    It' will take less than a nano second to make that decision AFTER the harm or worse is committed.

    Judge lets Schwarzenegger's commutation of Núñez son stand

    A judge today refused to overturn former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's commutation of the prison term of one-time Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez' son, Esteban Núñez, who is serving time on a voluntary manslaughter conviction.

    Sacramento Superior Court Judge Lloyd G. Connelly characterized as "repugnant" Schwarzenegger's decision to cut Esteban Núñez' prison term from 16 years to seven. Schwarzenegger issued the commutation as one of the final acts of his administration in January 2011.

    But even though Connelly said he believed the commutation was an abuse, he said it was still an authority the governor had under his executive powers.


    Kathy and Fred Santos, the parents of Luis Santos, who was stabbed to death Oct. 4, 2008, in San Diego, today harshly criticized the state Attorney General's Office for defending "corruption." They vowed to press forward with their effort to have the commutation vacated on Núñez' son.

    "They defended a backroom deal," Kathy Santos told reporters outside the courtroom. "They got away with it for today. Where's the justice for our son? He was murdered. Two conniving politicians got away with it."

    Attorney General spokeswoman Linda Gledhill declined to comment on the ruling, saying the judge's decision speaks for itself.

    From the bench, Connelly said that even though he found the commutation of Esteban Núñez "distasteful," "repugnant," and "outside the normal realm...of fundamental justice," he said that the executive authority of the governor gives the office the right to make such decisions.

    "It's a discretionary right," Connelly said of the governor's power to commute sentences. He added that the people, through the state constitution, have given the governor the right "to make decisions outside the normal criminal justice process."

    Plaintiffs attorneys had argued that Schwarzenegger violated state law by not notifying the families of the victims within 10 days before commuting the sentence. Connelly said such notifications apply only to pardons, not commutations, and that the two processes are "as different as a horse and an elephant."

    "Sorry," Connelly told the attorneys, "but I don't think you have it."

    Schwarzenegger commuted his sentence, now Nunez to be freed

    By Debbi Baker | 8:21 a.m. April 8, 2016 | Updated, 9:46 a.m.

    The son of former Assembly Speaker Fabian Núñez whose conviction in the death of a college student was commuted by Arnold Schwarzenegger will soon be a free man.

    The parents of victim Luis Santos, who was stabbed to death in a 2008 fight on the San Diego State University campus involving Esteban Núñez and others, said this week that they have been notified of his impending release.


    The pair spoke Thursday at a victim’s rights rally in the state capital where they told CBS Sacramento it would happen within a week.


    Nunez pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter for his part in the brawl and was sentenced in 2010 to 16 years in prison.


    But the following year, then-Governor Schwarzenegger commuted the sentence to just seven years saying that Nunez, whose father was a political ally, had no prior criminal record and that the sentence was excessive.

    When asked if his ruling had anything to do with his relationship with Núñez , Schwarzenegger was later quoted as saying “Well, hello! I mean, of course you help a friend.”

    The commutation of the sentence outraged the Santos family who called it politically motivated and sued to have it overturned but a state appeals court upheld the clemency in 2015.

    News that Núñez would soon be out of prison only heaped more anguish on the still-grieving parents.


    “We are serving a life sentence and our son’s murderer is not, because we have to live with this for the rest of our lives with our son’s loss,” said Fred Santos who called the case the “difference between the haves and the have-nots."


    Kathy Santos said that their son would soon have been turning 30 years old and that it was hard to see his friends getting married and having families. She said her son had been “cheated out of life by a group of thugs and he was cheated out of justice due to some well-connected killers.”


    The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation relelased the following statement this morning.


    “Inmate Esteban Núñez will be paroled within a week. As is our practice in all cases, CDCR does not release the exact date, time, or place of a parole release due to safety concerns for the public, the staff, and the inmate. Núñez was received on June 30, 2010.”
