MARIJUANA SUSPECTS CHARGED WITH SHOOTING AT LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS

SACRAMENTO, Calif.—Acting United States Attorney Lawrence G. Brown announced today that JOSE ALFREDO ZEPEDA, 19, of East Palo Alto, and CLEMENTE FERRIAS ARROYO, 62, of Morgan Hill, made their initial appearance today in court on an indictment charging them with a conspiracy to manufacture at least 1,000 marijuana plants, the manufacture of at least 1,000 marijuana plants, and possession of firearms and discharge of a firearm in furtherance of drug trafficking crimes.

This case is the result of an investigation by the United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Lassen County Sheriff's Department, and the Susanville Police Department.

Officers from these agencies were investigating a large outdoor marijuana garden on federal land and encountered three suspected marijuana growers. Suspect Juan Carlos Herrera-Chavez engaged the officers in a gun battle with an AK-47 rifle, wounded the two Lassen County Sheriff's officers, and was later killed by the officers' return gunfire. The two other suspects, ZEPEDA and ARROYO, were arrested after the gun battle. Fortunately, both Lassen County Sheriff's officers are expected to survive their wounds.

MYTH : INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE ACQUITTED AND GUILTY ARE CONVICTED

This is just not so. Unfortunately, the American criminal justice system as we've seen in the United States District Courts across this land is far too inundated with cases to separate the guilty from those who are innocent or who cannot be proven guilty. The system only separates those who have savvy, experienced criminal defense lawyers from those who don't!

MYTH : ALL CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYERS ARE BASICALLY EQUAL
Most people believe that criminal defense lawyers with some 20 years or so of criminal law experience are probably about equal and the lowest cost should be the main concern. This is NOT TRUE. Many were prosecutors for the first 5-15 years of their "criminal law experience"!

MYTH : HIGH FEE = GOOD RESULTS
Never confuse the payment of a large fee with a guarantee of a quality criminal defense.

MYTH : FORMER FEDERAL PROSECUTORS MAKE BETTER FEDERAL CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEYS

That simply is a myth. Past experience as a federal prosecutor may or may not equate to success. Some former prosecutors just changed hats, not their hearts. They still believe defendants should become "snitches."

MYTH : "I'VE BEEN INDICTED BY THE GOVERNMENT, WHY WASTE MONEY ON A CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER?"

Assuming your case is a dead bang loser, even then an experienced federal criminal defense attorney can greatly help! Well, the United States Sentencing Guidelines are one good reason. Every United States District Court in the country uses these guidelines for sentencing purposes and if you get nothing else from this web site, aside from the fact that the only justice you're ever going to get is the justice your criminal defense lawyer gets for you, you will come out ahead.
