Camacho rejects ex-convict’s bail modification request
Superior Court Associate Judge Joseph N. Camacho yesterday rejected a bail modification motion filed by an ex-convict who was arrested for allegedly beating up his girlfriend and threatening to kill her brother with a knife and golf club.
Camacho found as not suitable defendant Jeronimo S. Ada’s appearance bond—two proposed property—as they are long term leased and mortgaged.
The judge also determined that Ada’s mother’s home is not suitable as it is located next to the victim’s new boyfriend’s house.
The court had earlier imposed a $7,000 cash bail on the 35-year-old Ada.
Detective Peter A. Aldan stated in his report that on the early morning of March 4, 2012 Ada allegedly confronted his then girlfriend for having a lot of numbers on her cellphone, choked her, punched her on the breast, and threatened to kill her.
The victim’s brother and his friend were awakened by the shouting. Ada allegedly grabbed a vase and was going to hit the brother.
The girlfriend, however, grabbed the vase. Ada then grabbed a knife from the kitchen and wanted to stab the brother.
