跟进：Riverside 市警察局长 Larry Gonzalez 批驳死刑减刑 两名殉职警员的凶手在减刑之列

加州河滨县 Riverside 市警察局长 Larry Gonzalez 11月8日周日发表声明，批驳州长 Gavin Newsom 将全州死囚减刑的决定。被减刑者中包括杀害 Riverside 市警察局两名警员的凶手：2010年11月7日在追捕中打死警员 Ryan Patrick Bonaminio 的 Earl Ellis Green，以及 2001年1月13日在市中心一处民宅外伏击打死警探 Charles Jacobs III 的 Steve Woodruff。

Gonzalez 在声明中说，把杀害警探 Charles「Doug」Jacobs III 与警员 Ryan Patrick Bonaminio 的凶手减刑，「给已经承受了难以想象之痛的家属带来新的伤痛」。他说：「作为你们的警察局长，我对这个决定给他们带来的额外伤害深感失望和愤怒。昨天恰好是 Ryan 在 2010年11月7日遇害满 16 年的日子。本该是缅怀他一生、陪伴他家人的时刻，却因这个宣布增添了沉重。」

他还说，Jacobs 于 2001年1月13日遇害至今已 25 年多，两人都是在保护 Riverside 时遇害，家属要面对空着的椅子、错过的人生节点和本该拥有的生活之痛。声明说，陪审团听取证据后判定两名凶手有罪并裁定死刑，其中 Jacobs 一案中两个不同的陪审团相隔数年作出了同样的量刑决定，家属不该再怀疑他们的痛苦与这些裁决是否算数。他最后表示，无论人们对死刑持何种看法，这些遗属都值得同情、支持，并值得被倾听。

Newsom 上周四下令将 548 名死囚的死刑减为终身监禁、不得假释，称他得出的结论是州「在道义上不能处死他们」。州长称这一决定是「我职业生涯中最艰难的决定之一，不是因为我怀疑它对本州是必要的，而是因为我知道它的宣布可能勾起受害者家属极其痛苦的回忆」。Newsom 2019 年就已暂停执行死刑，加州自 2006 年以来没有执行过死刑。河滨县检察官与警长此前已公开批评这一减刑决定。

Follow-Up: Riverside Police Chief Larry Gonzalez Blasts Death Sentence Commutations, Saying Killers of Two Fallen Riverside Officers Are Among Those Spared

Riverside Police Chief Larry Gonzalez on Sunday, November 8, issued a statement blasting Governor Gavin Newsom's decision to commute the death sentences of every prisoner on California's death row. Among those spared are the killers of two Riverside Police Department members: Earl Ellis Green, who beat and gunned down Officer Ryan Patrick Bonaminio during a foot chase on November 7, 2010, and Steve Woodruff, who fatally shot Detective Charles Jacobs III in an ambush on January 13, 2001, as Jacobs responded to a loud music complaint at a downtown home in Riverside, Riverside County, California.

"The decision to commute the death sentences of the killers of Fallen Riverside Police Detective Charles 'Doug' Jacobs III and Fallen Riverside Police Officer Ryan Patrick Bonaminio brings renewed pain to families who have endured unimaginable loss," Gonzalez said. "As your police chief, I am deeply disappointed and angry about the additional hurt this decision brings them. Yesterday marked exactly 16 years since Ryan was murdered on November 7, 2010. A time to honor his life and surround his family with love instead carried the added weight of this announcement."

Jacobs was murdered on January 13, 2001, more than 25 years ago, and both men were protecting Riverside when their lives were taken, the chief said, adding that their families live with empty chairs and missed milestones. Juries heard the evidence, convicted both killers and returned death verdicts, and in Jacobs's case two separate juries reached that penalty decision years apart, he said, adding that the families should never have to wonder whether their suffering or those judgments matter, and that whatever one's views on the death penalty, the surviving families deserve compassion, support and to be heard.

Newsom issued his order on Thursday commuting the death sentences of 548 people to life without the possibility of parole, saying he concluded that the state "cannot morally kill them." The governor called the decision "among the most difficult of my career, not because I doubt it's necessary for our state, but because I know its announcement may surface excruciating memories for victims' families." Newsom instituted a moratorium on executions in 2019, and no prisoner has been executed in California since 2006. Riverside County's district attorney and sheriff previously criticized the commutations.
