" I'm a little curious. Why is the name of the rape victim published?

Hopefully this man never spends time outside a jail cell again. He's an evil person and a burden on society. "

" If our courts were tougher with a repeat criminal like this guy, he would not have been able to kidnap, Rape or Murder. He got sentenced to 90 days in jail and 3 years probation but was able to commit another violent crime less than 30 days latter and only get 15 days in jail and anger management. I guess the anger management course really worked. "

" It's amazing the extent of these charges. Ten in all and the culmating result is the loss of life. Given this man's history and it sounds like he was in a gang the abuse continued for years. I thought they had a gang task force in Napa? Obviously this man took no accountability for his actions and would just serve short term sentences to amend the condition and then continue on with his violent acts. Maybe he is from a violent background but most of the time this behavior is learned. Too bad early intervention couldn't of been attempted and now with them letting all the prisoners out early more of this stuff will occur much like this man who serve short spans for misdemeanor crimes. What's the solution to this? "

" Who is dismissing all these charges? And Why?

This guy should have been in the middle of a six year prison sentence. Not out committing a murder. "

jbmom wrote on Aug 23, 2009 9:00 AM:

" Wow, I thought if you were involved in gang activity they threw the book at you. If he had been taken off the streets this fine young man would still be alive. It is pretty clear he was deep in the gang life, just plead no contest and you get a few days in jail and some probation....not so bad. "

" why were some of these charges dropped? If he had been held accountable for earlier incidents maybe Louis would have still been here today. This makes me wonder how many other people are on our streets. could someone please explain to me why he has gotten away with violent offenses for so long with a only a slap on the hand. It seems to that slap was mis interpreted as a high five rather than a punishment.Interventions could have helped this guy out rather than short stints in jail and continued probation, obviously this was not working. What can be done to avoid another incident such as this from happening again?So sad that this family has lost a loved one when the system should have been protecting society as a whole considering this guys criminal past.prayers go out to all involved.

" why are all these charges against him being dismissed? the system kept putting this guy back on the streets, to continue his constant acts of violence. "

" My condolensces to the victems and their families.

Let's hope that this is the last chance that Mr. Uribe has a chance to hurt anyone else. "

" Uribe has been on a six year assault on this area starting his senior year in high school but still, the judges kept dismissing his cases. This is a horrible failure of our local justice system. There is NO possible justice for his victims, but for their sake and the sake of the entire community, LOCK UP this monster and throw away the key! "

crooked6pence wrote on Aug 23, 2009 10:51 AM:

" All these arrests while on 3 years probation for his second offense, yet no major prison time or one year in county jail after subsequent arrests. Interesting...

The Tally:

- 10 arrests in total
- 4 jail terms totalling 182 days (probably served 122 days in all.
- 4 cases dismissed!
- 1 probation
- 1 pending

Out of the 9 closed cases, 4 dismissals. That's a 44.4% victory rate for the defense, not bad. I wonder who is attorney was? "

" UNBELIEVABLE that this animal was given a free pass to go right back out there to do whatever crime he pleases, on way more than one occasion!! Wow! I hope this sparks an utter outrage against our broken justice system. Reading this article, the longest he ever was sentenced to prison was 90 days. For 9 crimes (not including the accusation for murder)!! All I see is charges dismissed, charges dismissed, charges dismissed. Why?! Is this the same judge hearing his case over and over again? If it is, there ought to be a probe launched into this judge. But I doubt it. I think this likely represents our justice system as a whole. And yet, those convicted of petty crimes sometimes rot in prison longer than 90 days. Am I the only one downright angered by this long list of crimes resulting in getting off free or at worst, a stand in the corner for 5 minutes?? "

" Well if the record is any indication he will either get probation or charges dropped.

What a great judicial system we have. "

Brea wrote on Aug 23, 2009 3:09 PM:

" OMG!!!! Who in the heck is this creep and why would so many charges be dropped? It's almost as he got the green light for his criminal activity and now we are shocked that he killed another human being? "

" why has this man not been sent to federal prision already! he has obviusly had enough chances to be a productive member of this society in which he has failed according to the police record 9 times when will our judicial system get the message? "

" Having supported the current DA for many years, I find this troubling. I think Gary Lieberstein needs to stand up and address the history of this individual and why he was not put away a long time ago.

Also, maybe we need to review the anger management process, as it clearly did not work with this individual.

I think the DA and the police have some 'splaining to dio. "

" How many more of these GANG FREAKS are out roaming the streets?? Maybe we should let the Martha Stewarts go and lock up the really bad guys.....just a thought. "

" Mr. Uribe hasn't even had his day in court yet, so he shouldn't be viewed as being guilty of murder yet. "

angtink wrote on Aug 23, 2009 8:54 PM:

" With a record like that he should have been in PRISON where he BELONGS! Thank god he isnt on the streets anymore! Hopefully they get smart and send him away, too bad someone had to lose their life for something so stupid. That is so sad. "

hawkeye wrote on Aug 23, 2009 9:25 PM:

" Joe, maybe innocent until proven guilty is the usual way to go, but you have to admit his history doesn't paint a nice picture of this guy. He's a monster with a proven track record. He has absolutely no regard for human life and it is proven 100% that he has no regard for the laws or human life. Sure, there may be a sliver of a chance he didn't commit murder, but so far, the evidence points that he did. I think everyone commenting here except you, would be shocked if he were found innocent. Then again, with our broken justice system, he'll probably be found innocent even if he really did it. So that part won't be a shock. "

suze wrote on Aug 23, 2009 9:29 PM:

" What is truly frightening to me is that the system is already clogged with individuals of this type.
Our jails are already stuffed with Uribe type citizens (or non-citizens.)

It would seem that we need some more selective judgements made on individuals of this type. They are indeed extremely dangerous out in society as they have absolutely no respect for law or others.

I agree with jbmom, we need to release the 'Martha Stewarts' and keep guys like this in prison away from harming an innocent public. "

" Wow where do we stand in regards to our system... so here it is we pay taxes in which we all hoped it would go to help us as a communitie but the way i see it we are paying justice to let criminals like Mr. Uribe to go out and do more harm... And as if it wasnt enough come to the point of killing someone and still consider to the point of etting him go even if he "didnt" kill Mr. Carrillo who seems to be someone who helped out the communiti! it is an emberessment. "

thoughtank wrote on Aug 31, 2009 9:25 PM:

" Well, it seems our judges and DA think we need to reserve our jail cells for non-violent offenders, like our local school embezzlers, rather than violent repeat offenders like Mr. Uribe.

The Register needs to do a follow-up story on WHY all the charges against Mr. Uribe were thrown out. Is the problem poor police work? Lenient judges? Lack of interests on the part of the District Attorney's office?

It would seem that Mr. Uribe is the type of career criminal for which the three strikes law was passed. Yet for some reason, he kept getting off on felony charges on his "third" strike. What's the story here?

One thing that's very striking is how he had repeat domestic violence offenses. This is a real indication that some of our local judges don't get how important it is to take these cases seriously. "Anger management" classes? How about "Rot in Jail" classes after your second domestic violence conviction. "
