DEMS CHOOSE HINOJOSA BASED ON HIS S. TEXAS "SUCCESS"

<div style="font-style: normal; ">By <strong>Gromer Jeffers</strong></div><div style="font-style: normal; "><em>Dallas Morning News</em><br />In what supporters hope could awaken a sleeping Latino electorate, former Cameron County Judge Gilberto Hinojosa on Saturday was overwhelming elected chairman of the Texas Democratic Party. </div><div><i>(After having lost to Republican Carlos Cascos for Cameron County Judge, presiding over the Democratic Party in the county and seeing Cascos again defeat John Wood, his party's nominee for judge, Democrats across the state think Gilbert Hinojosa is eminently qualified to hold the chairmanship of the Texas Democratic party.

Richie is credited with rebuilding the party’s infrastructure, but under his tenure Democrats failed to win a single statewide office.<br />Democrats hopes Hinojosa’s ability to organize, especially in the heavily Democratic environs of South Texas, will net victories down the line.</div><div><i>(While chairman of the Democratic Party in Cameron County, Hinojosa "mobilized" the voters to the tune of 24,773 of 173,482 registered voters, a whopping 14.26 percent in the primary May 29.

ACCUSED MURDER SUSPECT RELEASED IN TENNESSEE TURNS SELF IN TO SHERIFF LUCIO
---------------------------------------------------------------
<em>"If a tree crashed in the forest and no one heard it, would it make a sound?"</em> Question that could be asked about the <em>Brownsville Herald's</em> apparent lack of interest in reporting the accidental release of murder suspect Randall Bolivar who who was back in the city after he left Tennessee.<br /><br />By <strong>Juan Montoya</strong><br />When Randall Bolivar was released last Wednesday in Dickson County, Tenn., he walked out the front door of the courthouse.<br />Apparently, no one there though anything of letting him loose after a judge dismissed two charges related to his arrest there in 20o9 on two charges related to marijuana possession.<br />And it somehow escaped them that in addition to serving a 15-year sentence for smuggling a load of marijuana past the Sarita checkpoint the possession at the Texas Department of Corrections McConnell Unit in Kleberg County. In fact, in February of 2011, Bolivar started serving the sentence after his probation was revoked as a result of his leaving the state for Tennessee where he was caught with the marijuana.<br />What the Dickson County authorities apparently didn't realize either was tha<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJqjdvmGxbi3pxz6jNkeZvhx3FAqdSU_9onJ73Pn7LJKIuyC6XnWE_FEF_kUpG6Lrvguh3f1kNxESdOwALt85RINV7rxz2Gs7bcG275nfi5g9pS7-CyyLijzb3TdqYg0C8RvEajVQ85zU/s1600/lucio.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 187px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 241px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5752480283904228786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJqjdvmGxbi3pxz6jNkeZvhx3FAqdSU_9onJ73Pn7LJKIuyC6XnWE_FEF_kUpG6Lrvguh3f1kNxESdOwALt85RINV7rxz2Gs7bcG275nfi5g9pS7-CyyLijzb3TdqYg0C8RvEajVQ85zU/s320/lucio.jpg" /></a>t aside from having 13 years to serve on the marijuana possession charge, bolivar also faced a bench warrant for murder from Cameron County.<br />Bolivar is charged with killing 30-year-old Aaron Castillo who was killed in a drive by shooting in Brownsville four years ago. Bolivar and two other men, including his brother, were charged with allegedly shooting and killing him over a dispute stemming over $500 Castillo owed them.<br />"He's back in Carrizales," said Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio. "His lawyers called us from Corpus Christi and his mother (Mary Rey) also called to tell us he wanted to turn himself in."<br />Cameron County officials were made aware of the accidental release Friday.<br />Lucio said Bolivar showed up at at the Carrizales-Rucker Detention Center Saturday with his mother and attorney by his side.<br />“He did the right thing by turning himself into the sheriff’s department,” said Lucio. “He knew he wasn’t supposed to be released.”<br />Lucio said that apparently the judge in Tennessee knew that Bolivar was going to ser<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3tGAe9M1CgixYLz-hIrJQxKCBtQxXhFhL7DlmbTuaaAzky390j8ucWfnLxW7SYsr7v2ECihMXvvRzgk5GvP8WuVFrRo1dto0s5KVSu6XOBWn5tMZynSdmTlVGVICApp8XuSbJ_ntKYbs/s1600/bolivr.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 203px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 241px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5752480123159412050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3tGAe9M1CgixYLz-hIrJQxKCBtQxXhFhL7DlmbTuaaAzky390j8ucWfnLxW7SYsr7v2ECihMXvvRzgk5GvP8WuVFrRo1dto0s5KVSu6XOBWn5tMZynSdmTlVGVICApp8XuSbJ_ntKYbs/s400/bolivr.JPG" /></a>ve the 15-year-sentence and decided there was no point in prosecuting him for the offenses in his state. However, after those charges were dismissed, the mixup occurred in Dickson County that he was allowed to walk out the door a free man.<br />Since Wednesday, Bolivar made his way from Tennessee to Brownsville. How he got here or who helped him make the trip is unknown. Lucio said he is just glad that the fugitive turned himself in.<br />"He did the right thing," he said. "Cameron County had nothing to do with the mixup that occurred when the TDC turned over the prisoner for extradition to Dickson County for prosecution. I understand that he spoke with his attorneys and his mother and decided to turn himself in. I can also understand the worry that Mrs. Ray must have endured. She's a mother, after all, and that is her son."<br />Bolivar appeared before Magistrate Judge Luis Saenz Sunday morning for a parole violation. It is expected that officers from the TDC will come to Olmito to pick him up.<br />His attorney Lisa Greenberg said Bolivar was never a flight risk.<br />“He returned home to Brownsville and turned himself into parole, and tried to check in and they had the opportunity there to detain him," she told a local television station. She said he came back to the Valley, not knowing he was released by mistake. Once in Brownsville his mother convinced him to turn himself in.<br />"We're glad this episode is over," Lucio said. "Bolivar knows he has to answer to the charges and his mother apparently convinced him to do the right thing. I have come to know Mrs. Ray over time and I know that as a mother this must have been hard for her. We'll just have to let justice take its course."<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016803033174468094-5714138330864948575?l=rrunrrun.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
