REACTION, WE GO TO ACTION NEWS
REPORTER FELIX CORTEZ LIVE
OUTSIDE THE COUNTY JAIL.
FELIX: IT'S HEAR WHERE JOSE
CASTANEDA IS NOW BEING HOUSED,
TAKEN INTO CUSTODY, AS SOON AS
THOSE GUILTY VERDICTS WERE
HANDED DOWN.
>> FIND THE DEFENDANT GUILTY OF
A CRIME OF KIDNAPPING.
JOSIE OF A CRIME OF CORPORAL
INJURY, GUILTY OF A CRIME OF
STALKING.
FELIX: CASTANEDA WAS ACCUSED OF
GOING TO HIS EX-GIRLFRIEND'S
HOUSE NEARLY TWO YEARS AGO,
WHERE HE FORCED HER IN A VAN,
AND REPEATEDLY PUNCHED HER, IT
TOOK A JURY LESS THAN TWO DAYS
OF DELIBERATING TO REACH I
VERDICTS.
>> I'M JUST GOING TO SAY THAT'S
NICE.
THAT'S COOL.
I'M NOT A FAN OF THE GUY AND
HEY, EVERYBODY GETS WHAT THEY
DESERVE.
ALL I'VE GOT TO SAY ABOUT THAT.
>> I THINK THERE'S AN
OVERWHELMING SENSE OF RELIEF.
FELIX: SALINAS COUNCILWOMAN
KIMBLEY CRAIG SERVED ON THE CITY
COUNCIL WITH CASTANEDA BEFORE HE
WAS VOTED OUT OF OFFICE LAST
YEAR.
>> HAVING WORKED WITH CASTANEDA
ON CITY COUNCIL FOR FOUR YEARS,
THERE WERE TIMES THERE WERE
OUTBURSTS AND VOLATILITY AND
LEFT SOME OF OUR COUNCIL MEMBERS
CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY.
FELIX: OVER THE YEARS, CASTANEDA
WAS A LIGHTING ROD FOR
CONTROVERSY.
HE REFUSED TO GIVE UP A SCHOOL
BOARD SEAT WHEN ELECTED TO THE
CITY COUNCIL, THEN REFUSED TO
PAY A FINE FOR FAILING TO DO SO,
THERE WERE RESTRAINING ORDERS,
ALLEGATIONS HE ASSAULTED A
TAMALE DELIVERY MAN, AND HE
DISREPECTED THOSE HE SERVED
WITH.
JUSTICE CAUGHT UP WITH HIM.
I DON'T THINK HE WAS A GOOD ROLE
MODEL FOR OUR WHOLE AREA AND I
THINK IT'S ONLY FAIR JUSTIC
CAUGHT UP WITH HIM.
FELIX: HIS OWN ACTIONS DID HIM
IN, AND THE WILLINGNESS OF HIS
VICTIM TO STEP FORWARD.
>> WITH THE VICTIM WHO CAME
FORWARD AND HAD THE STRENGTH AND
THE COURAGE, WITH EVERYTHING TO
LOSE AND NOTHING TO GAIN BY
TESTIFYING AGAINST HIM, I
COMMEND HER FOR HER STRENGTH AND
DOING WHAT'S RIGHT.
I'M PLEASED THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM
WORKED FOR THE PEOPLE.
FELIX: JOSE CASTANEDA WAS
DEFIANT UNTIL THE END, HE TRIED
TO FIRE HIS ATTORNEY AFTER THE
GUILTY VERDICTS WERE HANDED
DOWN.
THEN HE REQUESTED THAT HE REMAIN
OUT ON BAIL UNTIL HIS
SENTENCING.
THE JUDGE SAID NO.
CASTANEDA NOW FACES 9 YEARS AND
8 MONTHS IN PRISON WHEN HE'S
SENTENCED NEXT MONTH.
ERIN: ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.
JOSE CASTANEDA IS SCHEDULED TO
