On January 21, 2010, Judge Robert Lemkau denied a protective order claiming that protective mother Katie Tagle was lying and fabricating evidence. She was ordered to turn over her son that day. Nine-month-old Wyatt Garcia was then killed by Stephen Garcia ten days later which proves that Katie Tagle was not lying, but doesn’t bring her son back. People are outraged over this preventable crime. Despite a protest with over 100 people, Judge Lemkau has not resigned, and he is even running for re-election. Words fail at the unmitigated gall of this.
There is a Facebook group setup for all who want to see Judge Lemkau removed called ‘Lemkau Must Go.’ You would think that this group with over 800 members would not have opposition as it is based on keeping children safe, but there are actually supporters of Lemkau who were trolling the group today. The only good point that the infiltrators made was that two other judges also refused to protect the child. They asked why the other judges aren’t they being chided for their poor decision making. In the interest of fairness, Judge Debra Harris and Judge J. David Mazurek also refused to give protection when Katie Tagle applied for a protective order. Mazurek did end up granting a temporary protective order the next day when an SBC Sheriff’s Deputy requested it after reviewing the messages sent to Katie Tagle. Judge Lemkau has made statements saying his decision was based on the fact that two prior judges had not believed Katie Tagle. Those of you in San Bernardino County may want to consider this information at election time.
San Bernardino County Deputy District Attorney James Hosking is running for Superior Court Judge against Judge Robert Lemkau. Voters will decide between the two of them on Election Day June 8, 2010. Hosking decided he would run against Judge lemkau ’based in part upon being outraged by his [Lemkau's] ruling that allowed this baby [Wyatt] to be murdered by his psychotic father’. Hosking states on his website, “The People of San Bernardino County deserve a legal system that reviews all the evidence available and protects its citizens.” Hosking received his Juris Doctorate from Loyola Law School. In 1999, he became a Deputy District Attorney for San Bernardino County. Said Hosking, “After the recent tragic news that shattered the Tagle family last month, I knew in my heart that without a doubt I needed to commit to pursuing a seat in an effort to remove Judge Lemkau from the bench. It is time for change!” Contact James Hosking at ElectHosking@sbcglobal.net
