PAROLE DENIED FOR FEMALE INMATE CONVICTED OF MURDER IN VIOLENT, GANG-MOTIVATED CRIME SPREE

SANTA ANA – The Board of Parole Hearings, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations, denied the parole today for a woman who was convicted of murdering a 16-year-old gang rival in a dangerous and violent crime spree. Gabriella Maldonado, 37, is currently being held at Valley State Prison for Women in Chowchilla, CA. Maldonado was sentenced Jan. 31, 1992, to 25 years and four months to life in state prison after being found guilty in a court trial of one felony count each of second degree murder, second degree robbery, assault with a firearm, shooting at an inhabited dwelling, and shooting at an unoccupied vehicle. The inmate was 16 years old at the time of the crime and was prosecuted as an adult. Maldonado will be eligible for her next parole hearing in 2014.

Senior Deputy District Attorney Mike Murray attended the hearing via video conference to oppose Maldonado’s parole.

Crime Spree and Murder of Leo Huichocez
On Feb. 12, 1991, then-16-year-old gang member Maldonado set out on a crime spree with her boyfriend, brother, and two friends. With the intention of stealing a car, the inmate approached a teenage couple in a parked Volkswagen pretending to be a passerby and asked for the time. While the couple was responding, the inmate’s boyfriend appeared and ordered the victims out of the car at gunpoint. Maldonado and her crime partners stole the vehicle and drove into rival gang territory in search of any rival with the intention of retaliating for the vandalism of her family’s car several days earlier.

The inmate and her crime partners drove past two female pedestrians, whom one of the defendants recognized and disliked due to a previous conflict. Maldonado and her co-defendants demanded to know the gang affiliation of the two female victims before Maldonado’s boyfriend pointed a firearm at them. The two girls fled. Maldonado and her co-defendant then continued on in the stolen vehicle and shot out the windshield of an unoccupied rival gang member’s car. The bullet went through the window and a garage before lodging into the wall of a house. The five then fired another shot into a residence with nine people inside where they believed rivals lived.

Minutes later, Maldonado and her crime partners drove past two male teenagers, including 16-year-old Leo Huichocez, who were walking down the street. Maldonado’s boyfriend shot Huichocez in the face, murdering him. Maldonado was arrested three days later.

Lack of Remorse and Rehabilitation and Threat to Public Safety
In 2010, almost 20 years after her violent, murderous crime spree, Maldonado has yet to accept her guilt or responsibility for what she did. She maintains, “.I was just there.” This statement demonstrates a lack of remorse and true insight into her involvement in the crime, which was gang-motivated and lacked any respect for human life.

Since her incarceration, Maldonado has had an exceptionally poor disciplinary history. She has accumulated 11 major rules violations, three of which were violent, including mutual combat requiring the use of force, mutual combat, behavior which could lead to violence, conspiracy to introduce heroin and cocaine for distribution, disobeying direct orders, altering currency, failing to return to a job assignment, possession and use of a controlled substance, and kissing another inmate. Maldonado has also accumulated 42 additional violations, the most recent in December 2010, including but not limited to failing to report on time, failure to report to testing, failure to report to a job, behaving in a manner designed to encourage sexual acts, and other conduct violations.

The inmate continues to display a lack of rehabilitation and proves she cannot remain violence-free or follow rules even while incarcerated, in a structured environment, and with the knowledge that disciplinary action will hinder her ability to be free.

Maldonado’s clear lack of rehabilitation, ongoing prison rules violations, and lack of remorse and true insight into her crime, demonstrate that the inmate continues to pose an unreasonable risk of danger to society and should not be released.

MAN CONVICTED OF RAPING THREE WOMEN, TWO OF WHOM HE MET ON MYSPACE

FULLERTON – A Yorba Linda man was convicted today of raping three women, two of whom he met on MySpace. Jason Ara Erpinar, 22, pleaded guilty today to two felony counts of rape by intoxication and one felony count of forcible rape. He is expected to be sentenced to 15 years in state prison at his sentencing Wednesday, Aug. 24, 2011, at 3:30 p.m. in Department N-13, North Justice Center, Fullerton. Some of the victims in this case are expected to give victim impact statements at the sentencing hearing.

On March 26, 2008, Erpinar invited 22-year-old Jane Doe #2 on a date after meeting her on the social networking website, MySpace. He went with the victim to two Orange County parks and consumed alcohol with her, and the victim became severely intoxicated. Erpinar drove Jane Doe #2 to a Newport Beach hotel and raped her while she was unable to resist due to alcohol intoxication. When Jane Doe #2 woke up the following morning, she had a cracked tooth and several scrapes to her face. The victim went to the hospital and reported the case to the Newport Beach Police Department. A criminal case could not be filed due to a lack of sufficient evidence at that time.

Erpinar met 18-year-old Jane Doe #1 on MySpace. He contacted the victim by phone and e-mail and invited her to a house party in La Habra on March 7, 2009. At the party, Jane Doe #1 became severely intoxicated due to alcohol consumption and began to vomit.

The three victims do not know each other.

SANTA ANA – A man was sentenced today to six years and four months in state prison for committing hate crime arson by lighting three fires at an Irvine church and attempting to set the church on fire because he was disgruntled with the church’s teachings regarding masturbation. Izad Chavoshan, 32, Huntington Beach, pleaded guilty to the court Aug. 9, 2011, to three felony counts of arson, one felony count of attempted arson, and a hate crime sentencing enhancement. The defendant has a prior strike conviction for criminal threats in 1998.

PAROLE HEARING FOR INMATE CONVICTED OF MURDER FOR STABBING AND BEATING GAS STATION EMPLOYEE CONTINUED TO 2016

SANTA ANA – The Board of Parole Hearings, California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations continued the parole hearing today to 2016 for an inmate convicted of murdering a gas station employee by stabbing and beating him to death. Miguel Rodriguez, 39, was sentenced Dec. 4, 1991, to 15 years to life in state prison after pleading guilty to one felony count of second degree murder. This case was originally prosecuted by former Deputy District Attorney Jeoffrey L. Robinson. He is currently being held at Centinela State Prison in Imperial, CA, and was scheduled for a parole hearing today. Prior to the hearing, Rodriguez conceded that his parole would be denied based on his recent disciplinary history while incarcerated and stipulated to a 5-year continuance. Senior Deputy District Attorney Rebecca Olivieri was present to oppose Rodriguez’s parole.

Murder of Harold Doorenbos
At approximately 2:00 a.m. on Aug. 12, 1991, Rodriguez, then-19 years old, and two other co-defendants entered an Anaheim gas station on Ball Road and State College Boulevard, with the intent to assault the gas station clerk on duty. Rodriguez and one of his co-defendants worked at the gas station and were angry with the clerk for complaining about them to their boss. The three defendants waited until customers had left the gas station and they were alone with 47-year-old gas station employee, Harold Doorenbos. The victim was a father of five children who worked two jobs to support his family.

The defendants took Doorenbos by surprise and brutally beat him. They stabbed him multiple times in the back and left side of his chest and struck him repeatedly in the head with a blunt object, smashing his head and teeth and leaving his face deformed. The three men left the murdered victim and fled the scene, taking money from the cash register and safe. They were questioned by Anaheim police and arrested eight days later.

Lack of Rehabilitation and Threat to Public Safety
Since his incarceration, Rodriguez has accumulated 25 prison rules violations, three of which he recently received since his last parole hearing in September 2007. Two of them were in April 2011 for battery on an inmate and fighting and he also battered an inmate in 2008. Rodriguez has also been disciplined for other major prison rules violations including inmate manufactured alcohol, battery on an inmate, failure to follow instructions, possession of a controlled substance, disobeying a direct order, and hiding out with the attempt to escape. The inmate has continued to display a lack of rehabilitation, proving he cannot remain violence-free, even when he is incarcerated and knowing it will hinder his ability to be free.

Considering the inmate’s lack of rehabilitation and his ongoing major prison rules violations, the inmate poses a danger to the community.
