Mentally if there is an ex-whittier police officer charged with shooting a man that is related

The judge declared a bad Wednesday for the case against the whittitter detective who was accused of multiple assault charges.

The Juros could not reach a heated situation with the charges arising from the 2020 section when the policeman, Salvador Murillo, opened fire on the suspect who was in the back, hitting his spine.

Murillo, 44, defended himself in court last week, denying that he had broken any law during the shooting. The jury was split 7-5 to decide the charge of two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, and 8-4 to deal with two other counts of unlawful use of a deadly weapon by a deadly police officer.

Murillo stood stony-faced as the judge addressed the court, but appeared to be relieved once the cover-up was announced.

“I think it comes down to people’s basic feelings about the law,” said Murillo’s attorney, Vicki Podbersesky. “It’s because you can appreciate the fact that a law enforcement officer is in a dangerous situation and has to make a split-second decision.”

Prosecutors declined to comment outside court. A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office, Acate, did not immediately respond to a question about whether he would seek a retrial.

The Juros were held for three days, the first showing that they might be at an impasse on Monday morning. A note sent to La County Superior Cound VERY Court George Lomelive pointed out that they just voted for two and most of them seemed to be unmoved, but Lomeli ordered them to discuss the dispute.

Murillo and his partner, Cynthia Lopez, were working as part of an undercover unit in April 2020 when they came upon a white Mitsubishi that was connected to a robbery at a local Walmart.

A detective called a car with a marked plane to stop the car, according to Podberesky. While Nicholas Carrillo was driving the Mitsubishi that day, he was not a suspect in the robbery, which prosecutors say was carried out by his girlfriend at the time.

When confronted by police in the alleyway, Carrito backed his car into an unidentified vehicle. Deputy Dist. Atty. Ryan Tracy downplayed the collision, describing the crash as “more of a jolt” while noting Carrillo was driving less than 10 miles per hour. The car’s airbags did not deploy on impact, Tracy said.

However, Murillo testified that Carrillo also washed his car and that he considered it an attack.

After the crash, Lopez fired one shot at Carrillo’s car and two as he fled on foot. Murillo walked behind Carrillo, telling jurors last week that he believed Carrillo opened fire, not his partner.

As Carrillo turned the corner out of the alley, Murillo said he saw someone running reach his waistband and turn his body over the deck.

“At this time everything changes me. I see the punch of Mr. Carrillo’s left hand and his right hand is on his butt… At this time I believed that he was trying to find my place to shoot me,” said Murillo during two days of testimony last week.

The charges against Lopez were dismissed at the first hearing last year. He did not testify at Murillo’s trial.

Murillo shot at Carrillo four times, hitting him twice in the back. One of the rounds severed Carrillo’s spine, leaving him permanently disabled. He died earlier this year of the drug, according to coroner’s records.

In his closing argument last week, Tracy said Rurillo did not have a reasonable fear for his safety when he shot Carrillo in the back.

“When Mr.

Podberesky reminded maryurders that law enforcement officers do not need to see a suspect with a gun to justify the use of deadly force.

He also brought up Carrillo’s pre-arrest behavior and his previous arrests for assaulting the police and using methamphetamine, which he said led Muthane Murillo to believe that the man was a danger to the community.

“Mr. Murillo is pursuing it because [Carrillo] Making it dangerous and going down the alley in a residential area during a pandemic when we are all on the sidelines at home, families and children,” he said.

Tracy, however, said Murillo acted irrationally.

“We believe that it is not necessary to fire four times, on a man who was running away, and he was not armed … torturing him twice in the back, and disabled his life,” said the prosecutor about life.

Another hearing in Murlo’s case was scheduled for early January of the following year. Podberesky said he hopes the case can be resolved in the district attorney’s office before then.

“I think it would be wise for the DA’s office to come to a resolution that acknowledges the nature of Mr. Murillo’s position in this situation,” he said. “We were looking forward to the opportunity to speak with the district attorney about resolving this case.”

Los Angeles County prosecutors have been unable to convict an officer of misconduct in 2000 shootings since 2000. In recent years, prosecutors have worked under Ex-Dist. Atty. George Gascón was not immune to the pleadings to the contrary from the two Sheriff’s deputies involved in the killing of the disputed murders. Only one deputy has spent time behind bars.
