Just hours before his departure as governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger has not done it the facts: He reduced the prison sentence for the son of a fellow, distributed lucrative post at confidante - in future they deserve $ 100,000 a year or more. Hamburg - The "Governator" is the term of office of Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor of the U.S.state of California is over - but the 63-year-old took advantage nor the last hours before his official resignation for political decisions. Particularly controversial: Schwarzenegger in last night mitigated the sentence against Esteban Nuñez - the son of former California Speaker of Parliament, Fabian Nuñez.
Nuñez Jr. was convicted of involvement in a fatal stabbing to 16 years in prison; Schwarzenegger reduced the penalty, Nuñez will now spend only seven years in prison. Schwarzenegger's reasoning: not the now 21-year-old, but his friend did the college student Luis Santos inflicted the fatal stab wound.
Nuñez also had no other criminal record. The court decision was therefore "covered". Piquant about it: The Republican Schwarzenegger has worked closely with in the past, Fabian Nuñez, Speaker of the California Parliament as this was. So did the two work together to ensure strong climate legislation Schwarzenegger to bring to Parliament.
Fabian Nunez has become a business partner of Schwarzenegger's chief advisor. The reduced sentence sparked protests from the relatives of Luis Santos. "We are completely shocked," Fred Santos, the father of the slain man said, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times. Schwarzenegger did not inform the family about his decision.
Santos spoke of "dirty politics" and accused Schwarzenegger to make decisions in "back rooms". On Sunday, Schwarzenegger had also reduced the penalty for Sara Kruzan. It had 1994 at the age of 16, attacked and killed her former pimp. Similarly, Schwarzenegger acted in the case of Alberto Magana Torres.
His prison sentence was reduced from 25 to ten years. Torres had admitted to shooting in 1999 a man in self-defense - because he wanted to run over a drunk. The report of the Los Angeles Times, according to Schwarzenegger decided in nine other cases for PSA reductions. The paper said Schwarzenegger supplied in his last days in office even earlier also familiar with lucrative posts - these are just for jobs that Schwarzenegger wanted to emphasize once arguing with them will tax money wasted.
According to former Rep. Anthony Adams replaced a post with the state parole hearing. There he will receive an annual salary in the amount of 110,000 dollars. Former Senator Roy Ashburn is therefore under the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board. His annual salary: $ 128,109. Dennis Hollingsworth, also Republicans, should come under just as the Unemployment Insurance Appeals Board Ashburn.
Former top Republican Mike Villines will now receive $ 40,000 per year in the Central Valley Flood Protection Board. Vicki Martin, who is married to Schwarzenegger's chief of staff Susan Kennedy gets attributed to two items. One at the California Medical Assistance Commission, and another at the Occupational Safety and Health Appeals Board - doped together, the two jobs with $ 167,940 per year.
Schwarzenegger to the Democrat Jerry Brown as governor of California followed. The 72-year-old is not his job to be envied. Schwarzenegger has inherited a huge budget gap.
