 The man who randomly assaulted at least 20 Sacramento women from the seat of his bicycle was sentenced recently to 14 years and eight months in state prison. In a plea agreement, 43-year-old Richard Albert Jiron admitted to 23 felony and misdemeanor attacks on Sacramento women from November 2002 to February 2003. The victims ranged in age from 13 to 58. Mickey Sampson, Jiron's public defender told the Bee, "We felt that was the best we could do under all the circumstances." Well Mr. Sampson, I happen to think you were lucky and that luck has to do with all the double speak we hear from some Prison Rights advocates in their attacks on three strikes and the fact your client committed his crimes in Sacramento. Your guy should get out when he's too old and feeble to ride a bicycle let alone attack women on the street. We can only look at his history in Sacramento County for now to wonder if there's something wrong with this picture. Who know what his rap sheet looks like elsewhere. SCCW hasn't had time to pull the court records cited below but where's there smoke, there's likely a fire and this one has been smoldering since 1996 that we know of. How many felony arrests does it take to raise the bar? How many other plea bargains kept putting this guy back on our streets? Just how many felony convictions does it really take to impose three strikes? These are the questions the public needs to be asking when the attack on Three Strikes heat up.

The person
in this photo is the suspect in a burglary. He was followed and confronted
by the victim and a neighbor. The suspect dropped a bucket of tools that
belonged to the victim. The victim took this photograph as the suspect was
fleeing.
Sacramento police recovered a large number of stolen household items after arresting four men on their way to a Galt flea market Wednesday, authorities said. Patrol officers spotted a man who looked like the subject of the photo driving an older Ford pickup truck filled with tires and towing a trailer piled high with televisions, computers and power tools. Any recent victim of a burglary who has lost tools or electronic equipment should call the Neighborhood Crimes Unit at (916) 566-1536. From Sacramento Bee: Story Link |

Similar Robbery - New Descriptions!
This robbery/assault was at 17th and H and the female victim suffered a knife wound
to her head. The injuries are not life threatening. Please pass this
information to community leaders. While these may have been isolated
attacks, every female walking alone could be at risk.
Update10:45 PM - April 4, 2004
The female victim was getting out of her
parked vehicle near her residence. The suspect grabbed her from
behind. He used force as he tried steal her purse and car keys.
The victim screamed for help and resisted her attacker. The suspect stabbed the victim in a
slashing motion on the side of her head. The victim is undergoing a CT
scan at this time to determine if the wound penetrated her scull. She
is conscious and awake but did not get a good look at her attacker. Her
wounds are believed to be non-lethal but she has been admitted for
observation. The suspect was seen running Eastbound after
the attack and witnesses from the scene thought he ran through
apartments in the 1700 Block of H Street where he was observed entering
the alley.

significantly different"

Crime Watch Advice: The importance of programming your local police emergency number (264-5151) into your cell phone is demonstrated by the time lost on this incident. It was a full five or six minutes between the 911 call and the dispatch of the first available officer. The call had to be transferred from CHP since they handle cell phone 911 calls. It took as much time to get the call to Sacramento Police as it did for officers to arrive on scene once alerted. SIX MINUTES from the time the call was dispatched. Someone running on foot can cover a lot of ground in 11 to 12 minutes.

 Sacramento
police sergeant improving today. We have received comments from police forums around the country commenting on the good fortune of Steve Weinrich's vest save and the account of the shooting here. Some officers are rethinking not wearing their vests. "That tape of the incident makes your hair stand on end!!! I'm glad the officer was wearing his vest!!!" "Chilling" reported another.
In our national internet forum tonight, we will be discussing many of the issues with police officer members and citizens alike.
Tomorrow we'll
examine the media, prosecutor's and law enforcement's tendency to report
"allegations" versus the smoking gun, in the hands of a killer. The
local paper reported today that no decision has been made on whether to
seek the death penalty against Daniels. We have something to say to
Chief Deputy District Attorney John O'Mara! The other option is life in
prison without parole? Many of us don't think there should be ANY option! |

 David
Scott Daniels: Parolee at Large, Murder Suspect,
Armed Robber and would be Cop Killer ends
manhunt in fiery crash that kills an innocent victim and
the shooting of Sacramento Police Sergeant Steven
Weinrich. Sgt. Weinrich's gunshot wounds were not fatal.
The saga may have began early this morning when south
area patrol officers came upon suspicious circumstances
and alerted homicide detectives who had just gone off
duty after a night long surveillance at several local
motels. Even earlier, a suspect booked into jail had a
Bee photo of Daniels raising more questions and reports
of informant tips from contacts throughout the night. There are more questions than answers about this killer and his ruthless, machine gun wielding crime spree that began in Sacramento a month or more ago with multiple armed robberies and a murder during a home invasion robbery. His trail moved to Fresno, then Turlock, with car jackings in the wake and a hail of Tac-9 fire against pursuing Turlock police.

Mixed
messages raise questions. Steven Thomas, candidate
for the 8th District City Council Seat, was quick to rush
to judgment about police pursuits, calling for a ban to
all of them. We find it interesting that some members of
our community, who are often critical of police for
"rushing to judgment", exempt themselves when
laying blame on the Chief's doorstep. I may not be a fan
of Art Venegas and suggest he could have been even more
resolute in support of his officer's actions, but
clearly, his characterization of parolee Daniels was on
the mark. 
Some
of us don't buy it! Civic leader and community
activist Jim Hastings was clear in his reaction to
Thomas' remarks. "Mr David Scott Daniels was and is
a monster with a record of violence and venom that has
killed an innocent woman and severely injured one of our
"finest". That District 8 Council candidate
Steve Thomas places the blame for this death on a police
pursuit of this animal is reprehensible. Mr. Thomas would
better spend his time and energy on correcting a penal
and court system that repeatedly gave Daniels a "hunting
license" and a defacto gun permit by releasing him
into our neighborhoods." 
About 7:00
a.m. this morning Sacramento Police engaged Daniels in a
brief pursuit. While driving a new Camero, stolen in
Stockton, he lost control speeding westbound on Mack Road.
Spinning out, the vehicle struck a pole blowing out a
rear tire and sending the vehicle Eastbound toward Center
Parkway. 
There
Daniels struck another vehicle which burst into flames
trapping the lone occupant inside. Officers were held at
bay when Daniels refused to show his gun hand, claiming
to be pinned in the wreckage. The audio file of the
events as they unfold, demonstrates both the compassion
for trapped victims, and the extreme hazards the few
officers on scene faced. Watch Commander John Kane led his team into
action and they unflinchingly did their duty.
The
obligation to render emergency aid to a murdering
potential cop killer, if really injured, and the risks to
officer safety, were paradoxical. It appears Lt. Kane's and Sgt.
Weinrich's concern and need to know if the suspect was
injured or armed, could have had more deadly consequences.
Without question, that would have been Daniels intent.
One bullet passed through his badge and was 
Only KCRA-3
had covered this story by 9:00 a.m. One wonders why! The
termination of a statewide manhunt, an officer shot,
another innocent victim killed in a fiery crash and the
lack of public information long before this incident begs
investigation into the lack of distribution of wanted
parolee's and fugitive's mug shots. We've asked for them,
the media would air them, why isn't it there? Local news
hadn't received much information on this incident other
than on the scene. We're going to examine that issue
later, while offering prayers for the victim of the
killer and thanks for sparing the life of one of
Sacramento's finest.
