The Las Vegas teen who is accused of stealing a car and then using it to intentionally run down a man on a bicycle said he thought all he would get for his crimes is a "slap on the wrist." Jesus Ayala, who was 17 when he was allegedly driving a stolen car used to murder a former California police chief who was out riding his bike on the morning of Aug. 14, showed no remorse at all for his actions in court, according to KLAS-TV. In court, Las Vegas Police prosecutors said that the suspect boasted that because he was a juvenile he would never do any real time for his crime spree and that he'd end up with just a "slap on the wrist" in the courts. "You think this juvenile [expletive] is gonna do some [expletive]? I’ll be out in 30 days, I’ll bet you," an officer told the court that the teen said as he was being arrested.
Jesus Ayala, the Las Vegas teen who filmed his hit-and-run murder of fmr police chief Andy Probst, mocked the police arresting him: “I’ll be out in 30 days, I’ll bet you. Slap on the wrist.” This is what Democrats’ soft-on-crime insanity leads to. Criminals feel emboldened to… pic.twitter.com/5KVqi2462q— Charlie Kirk (@charliekirk11) September 22, 2023
"It’s just ah, [expletive] ah, hit-and-run -- slap on the wrist," Ayala reportedly added. The teen suspect's comments were captured by police body cameras. The boast seems to be further evidence that teens feel they can commit any crime they like with impunity and they will be released right back into society by George Soros-style prosecutors whose soft-on-crime policies only tend to embolden the criminal class. Shocking video of the death of 64-year-old retired police officer Andreas Probst went viral and shows a reportedly stolen Hyundai Elantra driving down the street and then swerving toward the side of the road in order to run Probst down. Voices that police say belong to Ayala, who was allegedly driving the car, and his 16-year-old passenger, Jzamir Keys, are heard saying "bump him" and laughing after Probst is run down.............The two reportedly stole three cars and perpetrated three hit-and-runs, along with killing the bicyclist. They also reportedly purposefully destroyed the cars they stole. Ultimately, the viral video helped authorities determine that the downing of the bicyclist was an “intentional act,” according to KLAS-TV. Despite Ayala's boasts that he would face no jail time because he was a minor, prosecutors said that the suspect who has since turned 18 in jail would be prosecuted as an adult, not a juvenile. After his arrest, the District Attorney’s Office announced that it was seeking to charge Ayala as an adult, but KLAS-TV noted that if a teen is charged with murder in Nevada, it is automatically upgraded to a charge as an adult.
Sure enough, the pair appeared in court on Thursday and both were charged as adults with a series of offenses, one of which was murder..................The incident is more proof that young people often have no fear of the justice system and feel they can commit any act they please without repercussion. Until our courts go back to treating juvenile crime seriously, this dismissive and brutal behavior will continue.To Read More...
