IN SAN BENE: ARE CASE PRINCIPALS HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT?

(Ed.'s Note: The case against David Lee Hernandez, at left, husband of San Benito Commissioner Carol Sanchez, taking her oath of office Tuesday is flanked by her father Cusberto Sanchez on her right and her mother Carmen Sanchez on her left. Hernandez was booked with three charges July 7, 2019: Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon of a family member, Deadly Conduct/Discharging a Firearm, and Unlawful Possession of a Weapon by a Felon over an incident involving his father-in-law Cusberto Sanchez.

Although Sanchez has previously stated that she and Hernandez are separated, court documents still list her as Hernandez’s spouse. Commissioner Sanchez could not be reached for comment.

The case stems from an event in which Hernandez allegedly aimed a handgun at Carol Lynn Sanchez’s father on July 7, following San Benito city’s ResacaFest on July 6. Hernandez was allegedly intoxicated when he requested driving his father-in-law’s vehicle at the Sanchez’s family home. When his father-in-law (unnamed in the police report) refused to let him drive his vehicle, Hernandez shot at him, missing him by a hair and fleeing the scene once he heard police sirens.

Police on the scene could not find Hernandez but found a loaded pistol and a spare loaded magazine.

The state had asked for a continuance after they alleged that they had been unable to meet with the victim and that he had been avoiding prosecutors. Then the COVID-19 virus got in the way in April 2020 and the case has dragged on until September 2020 when Hernandez refused a plea bargain from the Cameron County District Attorney's Office. 

COVID-19 prevented the selecting of a jury and the case was reset again and again. 

Until now, the Sanchezes have not been served, according to the court records. The trial is now reset for September 7, 2021. For all appearances, it might have been handy to serve them during the commissioner's swearing in. Or have they kissed and made up and it’s all good now?)

Llego el fin de semana!

Con buena carne el 80% hace buen asado. Despues lo demas es secundario, como el carbon o leña. Tambien creo qe pasa por los estados de animos o por el lugar. No es lo mismo comer en un restaurant donde llega frio o recantedo que comer con tus amigo hay al lado de fuego chupandote los dedos. O estar en medio del campo y hacerlo ahi. Lo mas natural posible es mejor.

provecho!

That is the same David Lee Hernandez that owes San Bene over 3 thousand dollars in unpaid traffic citations and never has been arrested for them. Must be nice to have a wife as a city commissioner and be untouchable. He drives around san bene with a revoked driver’s license with no care in the word. Were do I apply for these benefits?

Giving advice stops others from learning and growing.

Si buscan tacos de fritangas -- fried meats like suadero, longaniza, and machitos -- alla en La Southmost! You can add fried spring onions (cebollitas), nopal (cactus paddle), or fried chiles, along with the usual choice of salsas, cilantro, and lime.

Si no comes aqui, pos no sabes comer, Guey!

Former RGV LEO said...

So, how about it san bene police chief and its officers? Who is brave enough to cross this worthless POS woman, carol sanchez? Her felon committing ex-hubbie is operating a vehicle with a revoked driver license and has warrants? This loud mouth worthless C@#$ can't do anything to you FOR doing your job!
And to CCDA Luis Saenz, this guy going to walk? Even if Mr. Sanchez drops the charges? Your office can continue on the charges and subpoena Mr. Sanchez when it goes to trial.
And to the very stupid voters in san bene who put this loud mouth worthless C#$% back in office. Shame on you all!

If you have a trial you have to have a DA that is able to present evidence does Cameron County have a District Attorney?

Coup d'état? with what, water pistolas? pendejos.

Coup d'état
A coup d'état or coup is the removal and seizure of a government and its powers. Typically, it is an illegal, unconstitutional seizure of power by a political faction, the military, or a dictator. Many scholars consider a coup successful when the usurpers seize and hold power for at least seven days.

7 days is way too much for estos gueyes. sanben sucks who gives a shit NOBODY
