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.
In my 22 years experience as a Private Victim’s Advocate in San Mateo County I have only had these two gentleman refuse to respond in writing. They both wanted to speak with me. That is a Red Flag in my book.
San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos G. BolanosSan Mateo County Attorney John D. Nibbelin
I must admit I have preferred not speaking to Sheriff Bolanos since I declined his 2 requests to speak/talk to me in person. That has been several years now.
Some of you know that I requested the Supervisors of San Mateo County Remove both Greg Munks and Carlos Bolanos. What date did I do that? April 25, 2007 2:02:30 PM PDT.
These are both very powerful men in very powerful positions in San Mateo County.
John Nibbelin requested a phone conversation about my questions instead of simply answering the questions by e-mail. Red Flag but never the less I said SURE.

Good morning, Mike, John and Don
Is San Mateo County paying for the Legal representation by James Touchstone for Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos?
If yes what is his hourly rate he is charging SMC?
Why did Carlos G. Bolanos feel he needed an Attorney?
Has Steve Wagstaffe hired an Attorney? Or is SMCC representing Steve Wagstaffe ?
Thank You

San Mateo County Attorney John Nibbelin never made that call or communicated to me since that last e-mail. He never answered those simple questions I asked. I hope he is OK.
I think any reasonable thinking person would know that the Entire Government of San Mateo County has a Bright Shinning Spotlight on it at this very moment. The Sheriff’s Office, The District Attorney’s Office, The County Counsels Office, The County Executive Office formally the County Manager, The Private Defender Program, The Sheriff’s Activity League, The Service League of San Mateo County, The Judges, San Mateo County’s Media.
What caused this Bright Shining Spotlight to finally shine on San Mateo County?
The Batmobile Case has exposed the Organized Crime in San Mateo County, That’s Pretty Cool.
Matthew after you watched the San Mateo County Governments Video on the Execution of Unarmed Sandra Lee Harmon on May 5, 2020 starring San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos, What action did you take? You did watch the Video didn’t you?

A.G. Rob Bonta Endorsed San Mateo County Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos for Re-Election 2022.
A.G. Rob Bonta’s Office handled the San Mateo County Sheriff Activities League Embezzlement and Money Laundering Criminal Investigation and worked directly with SMCSO Lt. Michael Leishman.
San Mateo County News.com was the first News Information site to report that Barbara Bonilla the Executive Director of San Mateo County Sheriff Activities League was placed on Administrative Leave. Barbara Bonilla was also employed by Carlos Bolanos at the Sheriff’s Office and was his Campaign Manager.
It’s no secret that I think he should have been fired right after the Sandra Lee Harmon Execution by San Mateo County Sheriff employees. He was one of the lead obstructionist in getting to the truth about what REALLY happened on the evening of January 5, 2020. I recommended to him that he have the City of Half Moon Bay sue San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office, Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos, his attorney David Silberman, San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, his investigators, Jordan Boyd, John Warren, William Massey, Kevin Raffaelli, and all involved in the Homicide.
Sandra Lee Harmon R.I.P. was shot in the back while she had her hands above her head as she was UNARMED. All three of those shots were FATAL. Her body was struck 8 times.
Three spent shell casings were moved at the crime scene. That’s known as Evidence Tampering.
There was no evidence of a shootout.
Bob Nesbit was fine with that. He made ZERO effort in Releasing the Axon Log Records to the Public.
Wonderful photo by SMDJ of Aldon Smith, Definitely NOT a Booking Photo.
Aldon Smith was in court just last week and it looks like the District Attorney’s Office made him an Offer that was recited in court. It would be really nice to know what that offer was, wouldn’t it.

To the residents of San Mateo County you might remember your District Attorney’s Office Deliberately Filed FALSE charges against San Mateo County Sheriff Deputy Juan Pablo Lopez in 2014. That was close to 8 years ago. They arrested him at gunpoint in front of his son. They held a Press Conference the charges included Smuggling a cell phone and drugs into the Maguire Jail and delivering them to an inmate. Every San Mateo County Employee involved with that investigation knew the Charges were FALSE.
Why was Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez falsely charged? Why is that OK with the 5 Supervisors.
Why is that OK with the 760,000 San Mateo County residents?
Why is that OK with Fixin SMC?
Why is that OK with Sheriff Elect Christina Corpus?
Why is that OK with the 800 Sheriff Employees?
Recently there was an Letter to the Editor titled Judges for Sheriff Bolanos. I laughed when I read that and thought that would be a great name for the Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez criminal case.
As many of you know San Mateo County News.com has been reporting on Deputy Lopez’s case from the very beginning. I have attended almost every single hearing for more than 5 years I have lived in Monterey County so you can do the math on how many hours I have spent in Gridlock and court to bring the NEWS about this Very Important Criminal Case which demonstrates the Organized Crime and Corruption at all levels of San Mateo County Government.
Please join me in Courtroom 2G this Friday to show support to Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez.

I think everyone knows by now that Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos lost the election this month. I was surprised that he ran at all. For those of you who didn’t know Sheriff Carlos G. Bolanos has been on the Witness list in the Juan P. Lopez case for almost 8 years, He has been protected by the County Counsel Attorneys all this this. Come January he is Retiring and it will be interesting to see if the Taxpayers continue to provide free legal services to him.
In September of 2019, San Mateo County Sheriff’s Officer George Ismael pled guilty to gang related felonies involved in a notorious jail smuggling case, one in which he had supplied contraband cellphones and illegal drugs to an incarcerated inmate. Ismael had been out of custody and awaiting sentencing, for three years, when he allegedly caused a drunken hit & run traffic collision resulting in injury -in February of this year, 2022.
California sentencing law requires a felon be sentenced within 20 judicial days of pleading guilty, with a provision for an additional 10 days, should a required probation report not be ready within that time. Meaning Ismael should have been sentenced for his crimes, in October of 2019, and ideally been in custody, on parole or supervised probation, in 2022, and unable to further victimize the public. Yet he had remained unsentenced and out of custody, when the drunken hit & run traffic collision, one resulting in injury, had occurred.
Who dropped the ball? Not surprisingly, San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe, a person not unknown for self-aggrandizing press conferences & releases, has been eerily silent, on the matter.
Had DA Wagstaffe known of this outrageous 3 year delay in Justice and the drunken hit & run collision resulting in injury? How could the House of Wagstaffe not have, since his office had enabled the described delay, enjoining in a motion to continue the sentencing date, on at least one occasion, not arguing against it, in others, and had quietly filed charges against Ismael (absent fanfare, press conference or press release), after the February 2022 drunken hit & run collision.
Justice Delayed is Justice Denied
Hadn’t District Attorney Wagstaffe, in effect, given Ismael a pass, letting accountability drift through time, off into the fog of history, when the collision occurred? Hadn’t this failure to sentence provided Ismael with yet another opportunity to victimize the public?
DA’s Disingenuous (hollow) Proclamations
When Ismael had originally been charged, in the underlying cellphone & drug case, DA Wagstaffe had held a press conference and hyped just how dangerous to the public’s safety Ismael’s introduction of unmonitored cellphones and drugs to an inmate had been. However, this feigned concern over public safety is belied by Mr. Wagstaffe’s actions, in the matter, his Laissez-faire attention to Ismael’s sentencing, resulting in a 3 year & counting delay. Hadn’t DA Wagstaffe’s lack of due diligence in the matter enabled Ismael to once again victimize the public?
