AZ DA refuses to extradite suspected NYC suspected killer: distrusts Bragg to prosecute


A high-level District Attorney in Arizona says she will not extradite 26-year-old Raad Almansoori to New York City. Almansoori is the key suspect in the brutal murder of a "prostitute with a good heart" but Maricopa County Attorney General Rachel Mitchell believes that Manhattan's DA Alvin Bragg will cut this guy loose and not prosecute, as is his wont. 

Bragg seems to like violent criminals as his record shows.

At a Wednesday press briefing Mitchell said she would not release Almansoori to authorities in New York City, saying it is safer for the general public to keep him locked up in Arizona rather than risk him being potentially let go under the Soros-backed Bragg.


Mitchell labeled Alamansoori as "dangerous and violent." He is wanted by the NYPD for the killing of Denisse Oleas-Arancibia, 38, a mother of two and a sex worker to make ends meet. She was found dead inside the SoHo 54 Hotel on Watts Street on Feb. 8. Police say she was killed by a suspect who beat her over the head with an iron, and bits of plastic from the appliance were found embedded in her skull.

Back to Arizona. Alamansoori was arrested earlier in the week after cops say he stabbed two women there, one of whom he attempted to rape in a McDonald's bathroom at gunpoint.

He had been out on bail at the time of Oleas-Arancibia’s murder on charges that he kidnapped another sex worker and sexually assaulted her in Sumter County, Florida, in 2023.

Mitchell says she doesn’t trust Bragg to prosecute Almansoori, despite the gravity of his alleged crimes. Nobody should.

"I know there's been a discussion about New York wanting to extradite this individual and this is not aimed at the New York Police Department at all," Mitchell said. "I know they did a hard job, a good job, but we will not be agreeing to extradition."

"I've instructed my extradition attorneys not to agree to that. We’re going to keep him here, these are mandatory prison sentences."


"And having observed the treatment of violent criminals in the New York area by the Manhattan D.A. there, Alvin Bragg, I think it’s safer to keep him here and keep him in custody so that he cannot be out and doing this to individuals either in our state or county or anywhere in the United States."

"He is being held without bond meaning there is no amount of money that he can post to get out of custody at this point."

When Bragg has a criminal without bond, for him it means the criminal can get out of jail without the inconvenience of posting a bond and hope that he returns for a future court date, which happens as often as lightning strikes on Gracie Mansion.

Since being in office Bragg has been criticized for being soft on crime and refusing to prosecute [aka do his freaking job] violent criminals. For example, several illegal aliens who were arrested for attacking two NYPD officers in Times Square were initially let go without bail. Okay, I lied--bail was set at $1.00, a buck. It's disgraceful that the city has a Soros-backed DEI loser as District Attorney. 

Bragg was also ridiculed for cutting a sweetheart deal with a career criminal who went on to punch a woman randomly, his slap on the wrist for a man who viciously assaulted a 55-year-old nurse and jailing, but jailing a bodega owner whose life was in danger as he was being robbed, and killed the armed robber. He was eventually released, but the public went ballistic before he let the man go.

He is also prosecuting former President Trump for alleged hush-money payments ahead of the 2016 presidential election and really doesn't have a legitimate case because the case in question has nothing to do with NY City.

But a spokesperson for Bragg shot back at Mitchell’s comments, saying that murders and shootings are down since he took office, while the Big Apple’s murder rate is less than Phoenix, Arizona’s capital. The reason for that, however, is the routine decriminalizing of previous crimes. If murder were to be decriminalized, for example, murder crime would disappear. However the real issue isn't about the statistics of any crime reduction, it's about Bragg not prosecuting criminals.

The NYPD had been searching for Almansoori who they say was seen leaving the scene wearing the same tight leggings Oleas-Arancibia had on when she checked into the hotel the day before. A pair of blood-splattered men's pants were found alongside Oleas-Arancibia's body, police say.

Oleas-Arancibia came to the United States five years ago from Ecuador with her 18-year-old son while she left her other son behind.

Almansoori was nabbed in a stolen car on Sunday by police who say they were chasing him for the attack on the woman in McDonald’s, whom he stabbed several times.

Almansoori was arrested on a slew of charges in Arizona, including attempted homicide, robbery and two assault charges. He also has an outstanding warrant in Texas.

Maricopa County judge orders 2-day trial in Kari Lake's election suit


Kari Lake's lawsuit filed on December 9th in Maricopa County, Arizona regarding the gubernatorial election will go to trial, as ruled by a judge Monday. Lake alleges that “hundreds of thousands of illegal ballots infected” the Nov. 8 election, which led to Hobbs being declared the winner. The suit apparently “contains more than 270 exhibits of evidence.” 

Lake’s suit also relies on expert witness testimony:
We have 270 exhibits of evidence
Our whistleblowers are people who were intimately involved in the process
Every one of them is willing to speak to these facts under the penalty of perjury
We have the facts,we have the law, & we have precedent on our side
We also have faith.

Last week Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Peter Thompson agreed to allow Lake’s legal team to “inspect a small number of printed and early ballots from the election. The inspection includes 50 that were marked ‘spoiled’ on Election Day.” That inspection is scheduled to begin today, Tuesday, December 20, so grab your popcorn and sit back.

After a Monday hearing the judge tossed eight of the claims in Lake’s lawsuit while allowing two to remain alleging an intentional plot by election officials to manipulate the election in favor of Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, the Democratic opponent.

 In two separate orders, he ruled that a two-day trial will take place before Jan. 2, and that Hobbs and County Recorder Stephen Richer would be required to testify as Lake requested.

The ruling stated that Lake has “alleged intentional misconduct sufficient to affect the outcome of the election and thus has stated an issue of fact that requires going beyond the pleadings,” and that at trial Lake must show that the county’s serendipitous printer malfunctions were intentional and designed to affect the election results, and that the actions “did actually affect the outcome.”

Hobbs’ attorneys argued that “Lake’s case should be thrown out because it doesn’t adhere to state standards for a valid election complaint” and asked for sanctions against Lake and her attorneys:
Kurt Olsen, one of Lake’s attorneys, meanwhile portrayed the lawsuit as an expose of systemic problems, failures and possible illegal acts by election officials that led to “massive failure” at the polling stations and “tens of thousands” of disenfranchised voters.
Lake’s attorneys include Bryan Blehm, who was a lawyer for Cyber Ninjas, the contractor hired by the state Senate for its review of the 2020 election, and Kurt Olsen, a Washington, D.C., lawyer who recently was ordered to pay sanctions in a federal suit brought by Lake and Finchem that a judge said contained frivolous and baseless claims.

Olsen said the judge should take the affidavit seriously of  “top cyber expert” Clay Parikh, whose analysis concluded that the county’s “system-wide” failures could only be explained by intentional manipulation of county officials. 

An analysis “based on science” also showed that 15,000 to 29,000 votes were disenfranchised, Olsen said, without having consulted Doctor Anthony Fauci, who is science, nor Doctor Jill Biden who is one of the world's most eminent doctors. 

Olsen also claimed the county mysteriously “found” 25,000 “extra voters” two days after the polls closed, which adds to the serendipity of the election for Hobbs.

Lake will update the crowd at Turning Point USA’s AMFEST in Phoenix Tuesday, she said.
I will be taking the stage tomorrow at #AmFest2022 to update America on our huge win in Court today. I promise you — this is one speech you do not want to miss. BE THERE.

Ex-teacher gets 20 year sentence for sex with student

Arizona -- a former teacher was sentenced to 20 years in con college for schtupping one of her students, a 13-year-old boy.

Brittany Zamora's sentence is the minimum doled out for the crime, and it drew international attention, The Arizona Republic reported.

The not so charming ex-teacher was accused of performing sexual acts on a 13-year-old boy.

"I am a good and genuine person who made a mistake and regret it deeply," Zamora told the court in Maricopa County before sentencing, according to the paper. "I lived my life respecting and trying to obey every law. I'm not a threat to society by any means."

She is definitely genuine, if doing your own sick thing is genuine. A mistake is getting your addition or subtraction wrong, or to be wrong about a judgment. But having sex with a child isn't a mistake, it's a crime and she knew it when she was engaging in it.

She apologized to the victims of her actions, their kin and her own relatives, saying it was "[my] bad." She told the judge that her actions were out of character and said she'd like to attend counseling, because that is the answer to everything.

 She also said she wants to earn a new degree in prison so she can start another career when she is free once more. She is considering gender studies, sex education or lesbian dance theory, but isn't sure which one she will undertake. But she knows she will have time on her hands, unless she becomes someone's bitch.

The parents of the boy found out the married Zamora was having sex with their son after they began monitoring his phone with an app.

Zamora taught sixth-grade students at Las Brisas Academy in Goodyear. She was arrested in March 2018 and pleaded guilty last month to charges of sexual conduct with a minor, attempted molestation of a child and public sexual indecency.

On one occasion, Zamora asked an 11-year-old boy who was a friend of the 13-year-old to stand watch during an encounter in her classroom, the paper reported.

Now that is what is known as a mistake.

"Ms. Zamora lures these boys, earns their trust and then takes advantage of them purely to fill her own sexual desires," the mother of the boy who was asked to serve as a lookout said in court, the paper reported. "She used her position of power to molest a child.

"She's a pedophile and no different than if a man were sitting in her place right now."

The victim's mother said she hated Zamora for what she'd done to her child.

Zamora has been behind bars since her arrest and will get credit for time served. She wanted to know if there was anything she could do to earn extra credit but the judge refused to grant it.
