You don’t see that every day. Why would a defendant choose a Judge over 12 members of the public?
21-SF-014538-A | The People of the State of California vs. Aldon Jacarus Ramon Smith
Aldon Smith and his Defense attorney Josh Bentley have decided to have the Honorable Judge Leland Davis III to be the Judge and Jury for his DUI with serious injury case.
You will recall there was a lot of special treatment for this former NFL player that most San Mateo County Residents arrested for a DUI with serious bodily injury would NOT receive. This was reported to be his 5th DUI.
This is a Heads Up Letter to Sam Hindi by former resident Jeff Regan.

Dear Councilmember Sam Hindi,
I was happy to see that the council has put the flavored tobacco ban back on the agenda. I know you recused yourself as an owner of a mini-mart that sells these flavored tobacco products. But, it has come to my attention that the ONLY reason Mayor Awasthi put this issue back on the agenda is because Jerry Hill threatened to pull his endorsement of her campaign. Pretty self-serving.
But, getting back to you, and speaking of self-serving, instead of leading from behind, recusing and sitting on your wallet, you could have put Foster City children before profits at anytime. But that’s not who you are. No, you are all about what serves your interests best. Residents, even children, mean nothing.
I know this, because that is how you’ve conducted yourself as a Councilmember for too many years. Making yourself mayor two years in a row. Aligning yourself with recalled Councilmember Herb Perez and Charlie Bronitsky, never repudiating Perez’ abusive treatment of residents and staff……doesn’t matter, as long as you held power. You made promises to me in a face to face meeting, when you were running for re-election, that you broke. No big deal. You have the power. As long as either Awasthi or Adams is elected, you’re good. You keep your power. If the balance of power were to somehow change, as it did in 2020, no problem, you’ll just change allegiances once again.
You, Richa Awasthi, Patrick Sullivan and Evan Adams are what is wrong with politics in your city. I repudiate you and everyone like you. I grew up in Foster City and lived here for 50 years. People like you, Bronitsky, Awasthi, Sullivan and Adams are not what Foster City represents. Never will.

September 30, 2022 two bodies were recovered from a pond located at 4545 Cloverdale Road, Pescadero. So far the San Mateo County Coroners Office has released the name of just the female victim. No cause of death for either victim yet.
September 13, 2022 Mark De Paula spoke at the San Mateo County Board of Supervisor Meeting during Public Comment 4:50 mark. He mentioned many very important subjects.
One of those subjects was “Audit SMCC and Pay for the Edais Family Legal Fees.”
Why would Mark De Paula a San Mateo County resident make that suggestion?
He’s talking about this case 21-CIV-04737 | MUSTAFA EDAIS, et al vs. ROBERT FAUCRAULT, et al
He’s requesting an Audit of John Nibbelin, David Silberman and Brian Kulich at the SMCC.
Does anybody know or remember that Mark De Paula placed himself on the ballot of the June 2022 election at the very last moment as a Write-In Candidate for Coroner? Why would he do that when it was Impossible for him to when?
He did it because he had just heard about Munir Edais very suspicious death in his Daly City Apartment sometime between January 19-21, 2020. He said if he was Elected he would turn over all of the data the Coroner’s Office had on the Munir Edais case. He felt that was the least he could do as the Coroner of San Mateo County.
Oversight of the San Mateo County Counsel’s Office, What a Great Idea?

Zain Jaffer former San Mateo County Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez finds himself in exactly the Situation you claim you want to HELP.
Zain Jaffer, “I was incredibly fortunate that I was able to defend myself through the legal system, but I am aware that many others are not. Moving forward, I plan on examining ways that I can help.
“Being wrongfully accused of these crimes has been a terrible experience, which has had a deep and lasting impact on my family and the employees of my business. Those closest to me knew I was innocent and were confident that all of the charges against me would eventually be dismissed,” said Mr. Jaffer. “I want to thank the San Mateo County District Attorney’s Office for carefully reviewing and considering all of the information and evidence in this case and dropping all the charges. I am also incredibly grateful for the continued and unwavering support of my wife and family, and look forward to spending some quality time with them.”
Mr. Jaffer said he appreciates that justice was served in his case and that he wants to help other people who find themselves in similar situations. “I was incredibly fortunate that I was able to defend myself through the legal system, but I am aware that many others are not. Moving forward, I plan on examining ways that I can help others who are innocent and are seeking to obtain justice.”
The above statement was word-crafted and prepared by Mr. Jaffer’s Public Relations firm Sitrick And Company before his July 2, 2018 court appearance.

In my 22 years of reporting on San Mateo County Court cases I have never seen a Defense Attorney file documents with the court claiming a Sheriff Detective and a San Mateo County Superior Court Judge both committed Perjury in this case.
Defense Attorney Tony Serra “SMCSO Detective Andrew Armando committed Perjury.”
Defense Attorney Tony Serra, “Judge Joseph Scott has Perjured Himself”
