This is a new photo, in a previous photo he was smiling, he’s not smiling anymore. Funny, real funny, hilarious as a matter of fact!
Come on! This is inyo backwards county here! This will drag on for 2 or 3 years then get dropped down to a “Home invasion” charge and then he will be set free for time served!! Pffffff
Buzz Killington…So true,who does need the “American justice system “,the way it’s turned into….these guys,doing what they do,what do you think the “justice system ” would’ve been like for them in the 1880’s ?….this guy here,bail set at $770,000……unless I’m mistaken,that means 10 % of that to get him out and walking the streets awaiting trial….$77,000…..how about you put up your home,get him out,and move em’ into your house for about 9 months or so,untill the trial date takes place ? …deal ?
Who needs the American Justice System when we have Low-Inyo……
FedUp…Amen to that post….will happen….again….watch and see….and like Pedro says in his above post,this guy,or his buddies and the charges they face,none of them would want me on the jury for their trials….
But if he was an Illegal Alien Mexican Without Documentation you would consider him INNOCENT.
INYOFACE….who the hell said anything about being a legal immigrant or not ?…back at you,just cause he’s white and legal,does that make him innocent ?…from what I hear,this guy’s been nothing but trouble…and lucky he didn’t break into the wrong house and waking someone up doing it before getting to him…
Congrats to Mr. Barnes who will soon be living off the taxpayer’s dime in his new ocean front accommodations at Pelican Bay. Bon Voyage!
Now , Why in the hell should Jeff get pelican bay when he has not even been convicted of attempted murder yet ! Let Alone Murder .
Boy oh Boy are you a Bigot or What.
“He’s a good guy” , “the cops framed him” , ” I’ve known him forever and he’d never do this” in 3…2…1…
He has been involved in quite A lot of of serious crime!
He is getting his karma!
I actually agree with you on this one Lower. Amazing, but some people never seem to learn or give a damn.
Now we’ll see someone statingthe “innocent untill proven guilty” sort of thing….never mind the fact this dude has been nothing but trouble,in and out of jail,and causing mayhem for years….those who say “innocent untill proven guilty “,here’s a plan…..why not come up with the $700,000 + bail money,get him and his buddies out of jail awaiting their trials,and move him,or them into your home with your wife and kids…..how’s that for a plan ?
Lo Yo,
Trying to avoid jury service again? Don’t worry, neither side wants you sorting this out.
Nice work
Good, lock him up.
