Candy-Asser's Lawyer Blames ¡Ask a Mexican! for Hate Crime Charges Against Client

Brooks: Now married to a Hispanic-surnamed guy, but still has "White" and "Power" tattooed on her left and right legs...

Seal Beach lawyer Rey Ochoa is quite the funny guy. His website puts the California-certified attorney on the same professional level as a lawyer who uses a Gmail account as their work email. He once represented convicted neo-Nazi killer Billy Joe Johnson, laughably denying to the Los Angeles Times that his client belonged a white-power gang. And despite his wab ethnicity, Ochoa continues to represent skinheads--his current client is Erin Brooks, the wannabe chola of the Candy-Ass Gang, that trio of pendejos (and one pendeja) who prosecutors say drove into Huntington Beach's Slater Slums neighborhood on Fourth of July weekend with the expressed purpose of beating up a Mexican, only to have their asses cracked at the hands of wabs.

Ochoa has already scored a legal victory for Brooks by convincing presiding Judge Steven Bromberg to let her go free on $100,000 bail because she is a loving, responsible mother--this, despite Brooks having left a party late at night drunk, with three men who weren't her husband and a infant daughter God-knows-where. Now, Ochoa is trying to have all charges dismissed against Brooks and blames--get this--my ¡Ask a Mexican! column for his pendeja of a ward.

According to court documents filed in Orange County Superior Court, Ochoa claims that prosecuting district attorney Andrew Katz offered on Sept. 25 to dismiss charges of attempted murder with hate crimes enhancements against Brooks if her fellow Candy-Assers Bret Hicks, Michael Powell, and Brian Hanson pleaded guilty to their crimes. But Katz pulled the deal two weeks later, a maneuver Ochoa claimed, "egregiously interfered with the effectiveness of defense counseling in advising and representing their clients in this litigation. This is clearly an impingement on the defendants' rights to effective assistance of counsel."

And then Ochoa turned really pendejo.

He claimed Katz dropped the plea deal only after reading the Weekly's Navel Gazing post revealing Hicks had previously warned on an Internet white-power radio program that it was time to "kill or be killed" and clean neighborhoods of minorities. Ochoa also accused Katz of collusion with the Weekly, said the information dug up by me was baseless because of my column, and that my coverage of the Candy-Assers were for purely promotional reasons for my book. "He has an obvious slant toward the Mexican point of view," Ochoa wrote about me. "Mr. Arellano has provided information to the prosecution and it appears that the prosecution is relying upon this rank hearsy to fortify his case or to trade information."

Ochoa went on to defend Hicks' threats as an "exercise of free speech" and went on to write this gem:

The news media should get its facts from the authorities. The authorities should not base their cases on published media. Communications with the Weekly by this prosecutor raise great ethical issues in this case. The prosecutor has an affirmative duty to independently pursue his own investigation and not to curry the favor of the press or the populace nor to give the appearance of doing so.

Us, get our facts from authorities? HAHAHA! If that were the case, Mike Carona would still be disgracing our county. "Rank hearsay"? It's not me affecting a meathead voice like Hicks' and rail against Jews and Mexis. And for the record: there has been no communication between the Weekly and the district attorney's office regarding the case other than unanswered requests to review the police reports pertaining to the case. There are no "ethical issues" other than your competence as a lawyer, and your morality as a man for defending a slimeball like Brooks.

We'd love to get Rey's logic on this, but he's yet to return our calls. In the meanwhile, gentle readers: laugh! Especially you Mexis!

LA Fan: Gracias for the kind words. I called my friend Bao a chinito as an inside joke!
ICE you think that they're mowing your lawn, but they're really mowing your old ladies lawn, if you know what I mean. I forgot that you probably like the pole, and not the hole. Sorry, but your an idiot!
I forgot to say that ICE is probably from Klanaheim as well. ICE stands for "Idiot cock eater". Keep up the good work ICE. Johnson loves you!
I knew about it, but I didn't think O.C. was that bad until I read your top 5 racist cities. Been reading a few of the other great articles that the L.A. Times doesn't have the huevos to print. Not sure why your brown brother from another mother "Ochoa" would represent these idiots. He's probably going to get stabbed by one of them in court. Your other brown brother Robert "Mecos" Mesa is an idiot. Who cares where you went to school, besides your boss. Just keep us L.A. people informed about O.C. idiots, its pretty amusing. 2.5 must be from Klanaheim, and Norwalk is probabaly too poor to move there, but he probably wishes that he did live there. I read the other story about the guy named Cocks, I mean Cox threating you. You probably didn't think that the job was that dangerous when you took it. By the way I read your food article, and I just wanted to ask why you called your Viet friend Boa Chinito. Do Mexican have a term for Viets? It not that big a deal, but its kind of like Chinos call all hispanics & latinos Mexican. Keep up the good work! To all of your haters, if you don't like it, don't read it. This is a free county, in your own mind. To all of the other idiots, Hitler died and his plan failed. History will repeat itself.
Norwalk: Not only will we continue to fuck your women, we'll also continue to make mestizo babies HAHAHAHAHA!
http://www.reportillegals.com/ Do us all a favor and go back to mexico.Destroy your home not ours.Fuck off your jobs not ours.Fuck your women not ours..Work on your holidays not ours....But go ahead Arellano tell them About cinco de mayo...Your guest spot on KROQ killed so many hopes that your made up race could never be free.Your race claims california as yours but we can fight you for it.Mexico has no army..Then hey you guys can celebrate another losing war..
Edification - (moral improvement or guidance) As a writer and journalist, you should know that you could not be guilty of slander, as you said you were accused. Slander refers to spoken word. Libel has to do with the written word. This is the definition of libel. Note that it is a �punishable offense� (crime), putting some restrictions on freedom of the press: LIBEL A written, printed, or pictorial statement that unjustly defames someone publicly. Prosecution of libel as a punishable offense puts some measure of restriction on freedom of the press under the First Amendment. Freedom of the press is not absolute. It is subject to the laws of libel, among others: FREEDOM OF THE PRESS The right to publish newspapers, magazines, and other printed matter without governmental restriction and subject only to the laws of libel, obscenity, sedition, etc. Hopefully, all of the facts in your article can be substantiated.
Ignorance appears to be colorblind.
Nah. That wetback is mowing my other yard. Don't get me wrong though Gus. I love Latinas. I love them face down and ass up while I am pumping them full of my white seed. Ahhhhh!
ICE: REALLY clever. Ever thought of replacing Carlos Menstealia?
Hey Gus, when are you going to get your ass over here and mow my yard? Tell your mom that my toilets need cleaning as well. Thanks!
It's obvious that this article is not intended for a traditional news media outlet. Most of the articles in the Register or Times are vague. Gustavo on the other hands writes from his own point of view. He is always upfront about his stance on issues. He is only doing his and getting shit from people because they are too busy sitting on the plunger while they take a shit. El Gus's use of satire is an effective device to raise awareness of issues that plague the greater OC. Believe it or not, the OC is not a all beamers, beaches, and chicks. Ever go to a bar on a Friday to a bar in Laguna, Newport, or HB?
Better yet: It's my article, so I can say whatever I want! Hey: if you don't like it, stick with the Register.
"satire"? didnt look like "SATIRE" to me, amigo. more like bamboozle. but i guess it's alright because your mexican, and you can say that, right?
Satire, amigo: SATIRE!
how can you call your own people wabs? your no better than these skinheads.
Que horror!!!! me dan miedo sus cejas It looks like she got them tattooed that same day. She got all fixed up to go kill Mexicans lol The Candy Asser are Stupid Asses!!!! She should have Manslaughter, Attempted Homicide charges and spend some good 10 years in jail.
Really...so gay!!
I know Erin and those brows are the real deal.
Erin Brooks is known for giving up that ass just like Brett!!!
LOL!!! Hey RoberT Mesa go fuck yourself!!!
Can't do a simple Google search, eh? You've obviously never read our paper, otherwise you'd know I mention the places of my education all the time. Your inability to do so confirms what those Candy-Assers think about Mexicans--thanks!
@Who the hell are you--my editor? Go find all the information you're asking for by yourself--it's not that hard to find. These are 2 simple questions. 1. What is your level of education? 2. Where did you get that photo? If you have nothing to hide, the first question is very easy to answer.
Who the hell are you--my editor? Go find all the information you're asking for by yourself--it's not that hard to find.
@And guess what? I got paid to do this? How do you like them churros? I'm still trying to figure out what you're saying there and you still haven't answered my question about your level of education. Is there a reason why? Also if that picture is not edited, tell me where you got it from so I can verify it for myself.
LOL, Lowlife blood sucking, bottom feeding attorneys. RT www.ultimate-privacy.br.tc
Louis: Gracias! Robert: Sorry to break it to your sanctimonious High-Spanic ass, but Brooks' eyebrows are the real deal! And guess what? I got paid to do this? How do you like them churros?

I read your biased rambling article and it makes me wonder about your education level. The whole idea of being a journalist is being objective and truthful, you on the other hand resorted to using slurs and editing photos like an angry little child. What were you thinking when you altered the woman you're reporting about eyebrows with Microsoft Paint, what was the point? I have no idea how old you are but you are an embarrassment to great Hispanic journalists like Dave Lopez, Carlos Amezcua and Tony Valdez. I seriously hope no one is paying you to write these articles. BTW, Care to tell us where you graduated (if you did)?
Mr. Arellano, I read your column every week here in Tucson. Just wanted to write a quick note to say how much I enjoy your writing. Keep up the good work.
What a shitty article. The author is just as racist as the skinheads. Please, learn to write someday.
What is wab or a wab?
Wow, she's just so weird-looking! Are those Sharpie eyebrows?
Good looking out Gustavo, tell it like it is. Haha!!! The coward skinheads are living their ultimate nightmare come true, surrounded by crazy-a-sed Mexicans and Mexican-Americans who would like nothing better than a piece of them. But, truth be told, the cowards are more than likely in Protective Custody. Too bad they didn't try their b.s. in Santa Ana, then people would be referring to them in the past tense. I am American of Mexican descent and proud of it, but, in closing, I will say this, cowards like these skinheads come in all colors. No matter what your ethnic background is, if you need others to help you do what you should be man enough to do yourself, you are a coward, plain and simple.
These people are the "White Minority" and do not represent the rest of us white people. I don't want to be compared to these idiots since I happen to have the same color skin but higher then a double digit IQ. No worries my Mexican friends, they will be hearing plenty of "Don't look at ME little puppet" here real soon...........
I want some of that candy ass...NOT.
The eyebrows are fascinating.
Cheeser: Cuando quieras, pero no se si Moxley puede! For the skins out there, I said: "Those skins are STUPID HAHAHAHAHA!"
'Tavo, Keep up the fire, primo, especialmente after you fucked up that Anal-nymous fucktard by saying "..And you're damn right I'll cover this case as much or as little as I want, if only to antagonize your worthless supremacist ass...". Chingado, that was intense...What say you, pinchi Anon? How about: I give, I submit, I got no game... So, the wabs went Curtis Sliwa-vigilante justice against the anglo-sangrones and one pathetic card-carrying member of the white race is complaining? Karma, baby, karma... The best part of this whole thing is that the OCW is being blamed for what it should have been indicted for a long time ago: investigative, fact-filled, in-depth journalism. Gustavo, when the fuck can I get you and the Mox over for dinner? I thought I shot my entire wad when the Carona shit went down but, thank Kukulkan, that the OCW continous and never sleeps. Adelante, OCW. Hasta La Victoria!
Same anon: You keep posting but won't put a name, so your new name is Pendeja. Pendeja: So, instead of merely saying bullshit, say what really happened. That's right: you can't. You only have your supremacist BULLSHIT. HAHAHA.
"The Candy-Assers stabbed some poor soul�nearly killed him." Again, BULLSHIT. "Hey, apologists: PLEASE do tell us what REALLY happened that night, as opposed to the lies the police and DA keep feeding us." But I thought you said the DA's office gives you the run around? BULLSHIT!
Not important to anyone but me, but I do not like to post Anonymous ... #3 was me. I left my name off on accident last time. Keep up the good work!
2.5: And therein lies the beauty of this story. The Candy-Assers stabbed some poor soul�nearly killed him. A bunch of wabs took justice into their own hands. The HBPD�not exactly the biggest Aztlanistas out there�charged the Candy-Assers with the crimes, not the wabs. And guess what: the HBPD is mostly Whites. HAHAHAHA. Bunch of disgraces to the race your pals turned out to be�not only can't beat up a bunch of Mexicans, but can't even get a fair shake by their fellow whites! Hey, apologists: PLEASE do tell us what REALLY happened that night, as opposed to the lies the police and DA keep feeding us. The rest of us rational mongrels want a good laugh!
Tell me smart reporter..... You brag about how the "wabs" beat the hell out of the candy ass gang and how they handed them their asses so tell me...WHY ARE THE WABS THE VICTIMS?? Were you there that ngiht? Do you even really know any of these people? Nope. All you know is they were in a car driving around and ended the night with their asses kicked so who's really the victim? The wabs who walked away just fine or the people beat up and behind bars right now because your dumb ass keeps running your un-educated, mis-informed, ignorant ass? PS. I hope you love your job at the piddly OC Weekly because by the looks of your writing you aren't going anywhere else in life so get comfotable :)
seeing Lalo respond to a blog post by Gustavo just gave me chills. keep writing Anon cuz it'll get real fun in here!
Is she married to that Hispanic-surnamed guy Ben Dejo?
Well, then, you're either racist or an idiot for having racist friends. Take your pick!
Just because a friend of mine is involved in this case does NOT mean I am racist. Don't ASSume.
Sorry, honey: just because you say I twist facts doesn't make it so. Just like Marty Cox, Jeremy, and Hicks' wife insisting I committed slander yet never really saying how exactly I did it. And you're damn right I'll cover this case as much or as little as I want, if only to antagonize your worthless supremacist ass. Your crew got beat up by a bunch of Mexicans--HAHAHAHA! You're a disgrace to the White race...
It's bullshit & twisted because as I said.... the DA has already admitted to the court he was speaking with you. You have other things to do? That is why every little thing that happens in this case you are allll over?! Not only that but you go round and round with the people who respond. Its unreal! Nope, I am not blonde.
Anon pendejo: Tell me, how do I "twist"? It's all there, baby. And, unlike you and your circle jerk, I have other things to do than see losers desperately trying to stave off charges. Tell me: were you the blonde with the ugly dye job, or the ugly blonde?
Why would any of the attorneys in this case call you back? Especially while still going to court?! So you can take what they say and twist it? I hope to see you at the next court date. You haven't been in there the past 2 or 3 dates....
Gustavo, You da' man (again). Hey, people, don't you just love having and seeing real journalism develop before your very eyes? Moxley and 'Tavo, two of a kind. Anon- Stick to your OC Rag, you fucktard. It's your favorite tampon.
Read what I wrote again, anon pendejo. I asked for the police reports...and nothing. Hell, I even called today and got a nice guy giving me the end-around.
"And for the record: there has been no communication between the Weekly and the district attorney's office regarding the case other than unanswered requests to review the police reports pertaining to the case" This is bullshit! I was there in the courtroom when the damn DA admitted to speaking with you about this case. Quit the nonsense.
Rebecca: You are when said party is a skinhead bacchanal, and you leave with said men to go kill Mexicans!
Just think of the DA's plight if the OC Weekly were not there to keep the DA informed! No need for police, DA investigators, etc., the OC Weekly will suffice!
Nice job, Gustavo, but seriously, she's a bad mother because she went to a party and left with men who aren't her husband? I'm sure she's a *terrible* mother, but your stated reasons for thinking so belong on RedState.
did anyone mention she is cute? for a white girl.
I do not fault an attorney for doing all he/she can for a client, no matter how much of a scum bag they are. That's what they are supposed to do. It is also well documented that the DA office and the police are not above withholding information and otherwise acting unethical just to get a conviction. I'm not saying that's the case here. My point is only that it's usually poor minorities that get railroaded into the system, and their only hope is a having an vigilant attorney. Having said that, I hope all four members of this Candy-Ass Gang, if proven guilty, spend a good many years in the prison system. The good news is that behind bars all their bogus reverse discrimination fears of being a repressed minority will come true. Thanks for staying on this story.
Did anyone ever thing that the OC prosecutor already knew about the information published by the OC Weekly, but NEVER publicly disclosed the information? And, once the OC Weekly published the information, in my opinion, there is always the change that the Orange County prosecutor needed to work fast and cover its ass in the eyes of the public!!! This stuff happens all the time and the only reason we can read about it is because of publications like the Weekly that place the safety and right to be fully informed at its highest priority. WAKE UP Orange County!!!!!! Something always smells somewhere.
Wow...I am in awe of The Mexican's fearsome power over the Orange County courts!
