Danny Diaz told KSAT Investigates in an interview Thursday that Gonzales “absolutely” should resign from office amid growing criticism of how the DA’s office prosecutes defendants.
“If the job that he was elected to do is not a job that he can do, he doesn’t belong there,” said Diaz, who said he has spent much of the past week shuttling between area hospitals and meeting with Chief William McManus about violence encountered by SAPD officers since late last week., during a violent rampage last Thursday on the city’s Southwest and West Sides.
DA officials have not publicly addressed why Garcia was still awaiting indictment but said a “frustrating” bond system contributed to Garcia being free at the time of his arrest.after revoking his bail in four previous criminal cases. Investigators said Kirkland fired at drivers and police officers on an East Side highway before being shot and killed., including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and aggravated assault of a peace officer, records obtained by KSAT Investigates show.
“Hopefully with this latest incident, we’ll be able to go forward to prosecute and well, I take that back. My understanding is that individual is now deceased,” said Gonzales, who corrected himself.
