Let us not forget
Marquis Tivae LeBlanc on October 23 and April 17 every year. Let us support his
mother, Jessica Corde and The Recall George Gascon campaign.
Marquis Tivae LeBlanc
(October 23, 1990 to
April 17, 2009)
MARQUIS
LEBLANC, 18 (4/17/2009)
========== Three years after Marquis was murdered his brother
(MARKEON TAYLOR, 24 (4/2/2012)) came to Pomona to support their mother at the
trial of the people who took Marquis' life, only to lose his life as well. His
girlfriend stabbed him to death, during an argument.
Jessica
Corde’s son, Marquis, was murdered in 2009. Marquis’ killer was granted parole
recently. Jessica was completely alone and abandoned at the parole hearing due
to the LA DA’s policies. The LA DA would not allow a prosecutor to be present
at the parole hearing and fight for her son, for justice, and for public
safety. This is unjust, unfair, and completely unacceptable.
A
mother's voice needs to be heard in regards to the lack of support via the
parole board hearings. Her son was killed in a hate crime. Why didn't the
federal government step in. He was murdered by a group of Hispanic and one of
the youngest one of the group was granted parole under Gascon new policies.
Where is her justice at? This put a lot on a mom who hurt want what is right in
honor of her child. Jeseca

trial at the Regional Justice Center on Tuesday, March 21, 2017, in Las Vegas.
It diminishes the victims when people burn candles and mourn someone who
has committed a heinous crime. People on death row are some of the worst
individuals that appear on the face of the earth. The abolitionists refuse to
acknowledge that evil exists and evil has to be put down. – Marc Klaas
We, the members of Unit 1012: The VFFDP, hopes that Nevada
will not abolish the death penalty. We will pray. Hear from this victim’s
family member and see this article.
NEVADA DEATH
PENALTY: Grieving family fears murderer will live
LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — 23 states have
done away with the death penalty, and now Nevada is one step closer to joining
that list as a new bill passed through the Nevada Assembly.
However, one Las Vegas family
says the man who murdered their daughter deserves to die.
Half a decade was how long it
took Jennifer Otremba to get justice for her 15-year-old daughter.
Alyssa Otremba was raped,
tortured and murdered by Javier Righetti in 2011.
If the death penalty was not imposed then "wrong really has finally
totally triumphed over right and all civilised society, all we hold dear, is
the loser."
The Facts
Death Penalty Opponents Don’t Want You to See

By ANNIE
BLACK
Nevada
Assemblywoman
The
Legislature is considering two bills to eliminate the death penalty in Nevada.
And the arguments are as old as they are uncompelling.
The “racist”
argument ignores the fact that of the 12 killers executed in Nevada since 1976,
nine were white and only one black. Regardless, this issue isn’t, and shouldn’t
be, about the killer’s race, but the killer’s guilt.
The “cost”
argument is due to killers being allowed to abuse the criminal justice system
to delay having their sentence carried out. Once executed, the taxpayer cost to
house, feed, clothe and provide medical care drops to zero.
The “no
deterrent” argument is a smoke screen. Fact is, every executed murderer has
been permanently deterred from ever killing again. And make no mistake, killers
sentenced to life-in-prison have killed while behind bars.
In fact, the
Associated Press reported in February that “An Indiana inmate convicted of a
2002 triple murder fatally stabbed one corrections officer and seriously
injured another at the maximum-security prison where he’s serving a 130-year
sentence.”
But the worst
part about the organized campaign to eliminate capital punishment for the most
heinous murderers is how they show such compassion for the killer while
conveniently overlooking what the killer did to get on death row in the first
place.
Two examples…
1.) On
January 20, 2008, a college student named Brianna Denison was kidnapped, raped
and brutally murdered by James Biela, who is currently on Nevada’s death row.
Her murder was committed just two months after Biela brutally raped at gunpoint
another college student in a UNR parking garage.
Miss
Denison’s body, clothed only in socks, was found weeks after the murder in a
snow-covered field near a Reno business park under a discarded Christmas tree.
She had been smothered with a pillow, raped, and ultimately strangled to death.
DNA evidence
conclusively proved Biela was Miss Denison’s killer. He was arrested, tried,
convicted and sentenced to death by a jury. Bri was only 19 years old with her
entire life ahead of her.
But James
Biela gave her the death penalty. He should get the same. And the sooner the
better.
2.) In the
early morning hours of June 3, 1999, Zane Floyd walked into a neighborhood
grocery store in Las Vegas and brutally executed four innocent Nevadans with a
shotgun, including a mentally disabled young man and a 60-year-old grandmother
who begged for her life.
After his
arrest, Mr. Floyd told a detective that he “looked right at her and I just blew
her head apart.” One of the police officers who captured Floyd at the scene of
the bloody rampage recently wrote me about the incident. Floyd said to him, “I
probably shouldn’t have done that. She reminded me of my mom.”
There is no
doubt about Mr. Floyd’s guilt. He was given a fair trial and sentenced to death
by a jury. Considering the circumstances, it was the right and proper sentence.
What’s not
right is the ability of these murderers to string out the execution of their
sentence for years with endless appeals, as has been the case for Floyd. It’s
now been over 20 years since his murder spree.
Addressing
our broken appeals process is what we should be doing today, not eliminating
the death penalty for murderers who showed no such mercy or compassion for
their victims and the victims’ families.

My sentiments are more
in favour of the victim than they are of the murderer. There is a tendency
nowadays when any matter of criminal law is discussed to think far more of the
criminal than his victim. - Chief Justice Rayner Goddard
Ten years later, we will remember Jitka Vesel who was murdered on April 13, 2011. We will remember her
on her birthday on August 15 every year also.
We do not need psychologists to tell us the simple
truth that if you reward bad behaviour you will get more of it. We should not
be surprised that we are now engulfed in crime. The offenders have taken their
cue from us.
He has told
you, O man, what is good; and
what does the Lord
require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and
to walk humbly with your God? – Micah 6:8 (ESV)
Oh
Heavenly Father, our hearts are heavy. Broken. Please give us eyes to see and
ears to hear where Your Spirit is working. Help us to see every person the way
that You see them. Break our hearts for what breaks Yours, God. Let us not
merely say that we love each other. Give us strength to mourn with those who
mourn, to weep with those who weep. Let Your justice roll like waters. Let your
righteousness and love flow from us like rivers of living water. Purify our
hearts, Lord, and fill us with genuine hunger for justice, for mercy, and for
true peace. Heavenly Father, let justice and mercy start with me.
Eternal
Father, We pray that You will right all the wrongs that are taking place in our
world and vindicate those that are being treated unjustly. May the injustice
that they have had to endure be the means to draw them into Your saving arms of
grace - we ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
No, I do not believe in
revenge. I believe in justice. But only a true hatred of evil compels us to
fight wickedness with every legitimate means at our disposal. – Rabbi Shmuley
Boteach [The Petit murders: we must hate evil November 10, 2010]
Everyone has heard the
saying “Life’s not fair,” but it doesn’t make it any easier when things arise
in our lives that we feel are uncalled for. Here are 10 of the most encouraging
prayers for an unjust situation.
Prayer
for the Truth to Prevail
God of my rescue, rally Your mighty power and come to save me from this unfair
situation. You know I am innocent in this matter. Restore me, O God, and cause
Your face to shine upon me so that I can be delivered out of this state of
affairs. Look down from heaven and take note of this unrighteousness that has
come against me, and set things right, I pray. May the truth prevail! Amen.
Prayer
for Righteousness and Justice
Lord of Power, cover me with Your protection so that those who are bringing
this injustice against me will see and be ashamed. Lord, I am submerged in
these waves of trouble, reach down Your holy hand and pull me out. My God,
righteousness and justice are the foundations of Your throne, and I claim them
now for my cause. I thank You, dear Savior, that I can walk in the light of
Your presence. Amen.
Preside
over My Case Prayer
Light in the Darkness, I ask that You shine Your light on these false
accusations and may the truth be evident to all. I call out to You in my
distress; rescue me, my Lord. Preside over my case, Lord, and render Your
righteous judgment. You know I’ve been judged unjustly, please uphold my rights
because I am oppressed by unrighteousness. Save me from the deceit of the
ungodly. Amen.
Prayer
to Defend My Cause
God my Refuge, I am weak and needy. Deliver me from the hand of the wicked.
Defend my cause. O God, do not be silent. See the cunning with which my
adversary has conspired against me. Lord, may this unjust circumstance blow
away like a tumbleweed, like chaff before the wind. Cover the face of my
adversary with shame; may he repent and seek Your Name, O Lord. Amen.
Prayer
in the Valley of Shadows
God of Victory, though I walk through this valley of shadows, facing the arrows
of injustice, I know I’m not forsaken. Fight for me, God of heaven’s armies,
for You are all I need. Even though things seem hopeless, I trust You. I plead
the blood of Jesus over this situation. I know that You are for me, and no
weapon that comes against me will prevail. I will not be overcome, in Your
Mighty Name, Amen.
Prayer
to My Darkness Crusher
O Lord, Darkness Crusher, intervene for me I pray, in this injustice that has
been perpetuated against me. Give ear to my prayer, Lord of Hosts. Look with
favor on me, and be my shield. Let me retrieve what has been taken from me.
Lord, You give grace and glory to those who call on Your Name. I am blessed
that You withhold no good thing from those who walk with integrity. Amen.
Prayer
for God’s Loving Devotion
God my Fortress, how blessed is the person who trusts in You. I ask that You
show me Your loving devotion, and grant me a favorable outcome in this corrupt
situation. Lord, I thank You that You go before me, You reign forever, and You
are a friend of mine. Crush this situation under my feet. My strength is in
Your Name, for You alone can save. Yours is the victory. Amen.
Prayer
when Encountering Unfair Circumstances
God my Rock, I am so blessed that You are always by my side. Nothing formed
against me shall stand. Faithful Lord, I hold to Your promises as I encounter
unfair circumstances. I know that You will indeed provide justice, for Your
righteousness goes before You. I know that You will bring increase to me – I
will overflow with Your mercy, Your provision, Your love, Your prosperity.
Amen.
Prayer
in the Day of Distress
Invincible Lord, incline Your ear to me and answer me. In the day of distress,
I call to You. Preserve my reputation in the face of this unjust affair. Be
merciful to me, O Lord. To You I lift up my soul; bring joy to Your servant.
You, Lord, are rich in loving devotion to all who call on You. Attend to my
plea. O Lord, for there is no one like You, nor any works like Yours. I praise
You for being my defender. Amen.
Prayer for Mountain-Moving Power
O God, my Sun and my Shield, I thank You
that the same overwhelming power of Your Holy Spirit that raised Your Son Jesus
from the grave lives in me. I thank You that I have this mountain-moving power
as I face these seemingly insurmountable and unjust attacks. Teach me what to
do now, Lord, as I confront what has risen against me. Grant me strength and
help me in this battle. Amen.
O Lord our God, You
alone are the Most Holy King and Ruler of all nations.
We pray to You, Lord, in the great expectation of receiving from You,
O Divine King, mercy, peace, justice and all good things.
Protect, O Lord our King, our families and the land of our birth.
Guard us we pray Most Faithful One.
Protect us from our enemies and from Your Just Judgment
Forgive us, O Sovereign King, our sins against you.
Jesus, You are a King of Mercy.
We have deserved Your Just Judgment
Have mercy on us, Lord, and forgive us.
We trust in Your Great Mercy.
O most awe-inspiring King, we bow before You and pray;
May Your Reign, Your Kingdom, be recognized on earth.
Amen.
Unit 1012 supports victims’ rights movement and we
endorse the Recall George Gascon Campaign. Let us hear from Jessica Corde, the
mother of Marquis Leblanc whose son’s killer was granted parole. Let us support
her and the crime victims.
Jessica
Corde’s son, Marquis, was murdered in 2009. Marquis’ killer was granted parole
recently. Jessica was completely alone and abandoned at the parole hearing due
to the LA DA’s policies. The LA DA would not allow a prosecutor to be present
at the parole hearing and fight for her son, for justice, and for public
safety. This is unjust, unfair, and completely unacceptable.
It’s the outcome Jessica Corde
prayed would never happen.
One of the men convicted in the
killing of her son Marquis Leblanc has been granted parole.
"When do I get to go up for
parole? My son don't get parole, he's locked in that casket forever. He don’t
get paroled," says Corde.
The murder happened on April 17,
2009. LeBlanc attended a party in Pomona.
Corde says, "He was asking
multiple Latino girls to dance and of course, the Latino men were offended.
They walked up to him and pointed to one’s neck and said, '(Racial slur), do
you know where you’re at?"
Deputy DA John McKinney was the
prosecutor in this case.
He says, "Not only was this
young man pummeled with hands and fists. He was disrobed, he was dragged around
in a street like garbage. He was then stabbed two times, once through the
heart, and then shot in the head, left for dead in the street."
Several men were arrested and
convicted for their involvement in the killing of Marquis LeBlanc. Martin Hora
was 16 at the time.
The day after LeBlanc was killed,
he texted: "Did the N — that we F-D up die?"
Next message: "Well, we
stomped the (bleep) out of his face."
Corde says, "There was no
remorse. There's still no remorse for me. They're dragging me out of the tomb
again, because everything about the case, I tried to bury."
Since LA County DA George Gascón
won’t allow anyone from his office to attend parole hearings, Corde had no
legal support.
Her message to Gascón is
this: "George Gascón, you have all this
compassion for people. What about me? What about my son? What about
the other mothers that are battling with depression and going into alcoholism
and drugs and pills and stuff, because they can't handle what happened to their
family, their son, their lives, their joy, their happiness? Where are you
for us, George Gascón?"
"I should not have
to fight this hard for the justice that had already been given to my son," the emotional mother told host Jeanine Pirro.
Corde’s son Marquis Leblanc was
killed in April 2009 while attending a party in Pomona, Calif.,Fox 11 reported, adding that one of the men convicted in
his murder had been granted parole in February.
Corde told Pirro her son was
beaten up by 14 to 20 people at the party and was then chased for 100 yards.
"They beat him with boards
and sticks," Corde said. "He had blunt force trauma to the head,
multiple fatal stab wounds, multiple non-fatal stab wounds, a gunshot wound to
the head, they stabbed him in the heart. They robbed him. They pulled
his pants down. They left him in the street naked."
"This is how treacherous
these people are," she stressed.
Corde told Pirro her son was the
only Black person at the party.
"He was asking multiple
Latino girls to dance and of course, the Latino men were offended. They walked
up to him and pointed to one’s neck and said, '(Racial slur), do you know where
you’re at?'" Corde said, describing what could have instigated the fight,
according to Fox 11.
"Everything about this case
has been a fight for me," Corde told Pirro. "Justice did not
just come for my son, I had to go for justice."
"They killed my son over and
over and over again in Los Angeles County," she continued, adding that she
has "to fight for my son."
"This man was granted parole
at the parole hearing," she said. "They didn't let us speak. We
cried. We tried to talk and do the things."
"He only did 11 years off of
a 15-year-to-life sentence," Corde added.
She said she had no legal support
during the hearing because Gascón won’t allow anyone from his office to attend
parole hearings, according to Fox 11, and, therefore, she tried to represent
herself.
She explained that when it was
"time for me to go to the parole hearing, they only gave me one week's
notice."
"I had no representation and
I ended up having to ask for my son's file so that I could represent my son as
if I was a prosecutor," Corde said. "Instead of being given my impact
statement, I was literally trying to do the legal part to help them understand
what really happened to my son."
"I've never seen my son's
murder pictures before," she added as she held back tears. "In one
week, I had to have emergency medical care because of that, me having to try to
do the prosecutor's job."
Recall organizers held a "victim’s vigil" last weekend to gather the 20
signatures needed from L.A. County residents to formally launch the recall
process.
The effort needs to garner just
under 600,000 signatures from registered Los Angeles voters, or 10% of the
voter roll, to force the newly elected district attorney to run
again.
The day he took office in
December, Gascón announced a slew of sweeping changes, including stopping the
use of sentencing enhancements, restricting when prosecutors can hold
defendants without bail, ending the use of the death penalty in L.A. County and
banning the practice of trying juveniles as adults.
On Saturday, Corde stressed that
"no other family should have to sit there and go through what me and my
family did."
A spokesperson with Gascón’s
office did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment. However,
in a statement sent to Fox News last week on the topic, Gascón said that the
"pain and trauma of losing a loved one is immeasurable."
"While a minority of victims
want the maximum punishment imposed in their case, research shows these views
are not shared by a majority of survivors of violent crime, as most survivors
don’t find healing by putting another person in a cage," he continued.
"Additionally, studies show
that excessive sentencing practices have exacerbated recidivism leading to more
victims of crime."
Gascón went on to write,
"Our system of justice can’t continue to rely on policies that create more
victims tomorrow simply because a minority of victims want the maximum
punishment imposed in their case today."
An emotional Corde told Pirro she
is calling on Newsom to get involved and help her with her son’s case.
A
mother's voice needs to be heard in regards to the lack of support via the
parole board hearings. Her son was killed in a hate crime. Why didn't the
federal government step in. He was murdered by a group of Hispanic and one of
the youngest one of the group was granted parole under Gascon new policies.
Where is her justice at? This put a lot on a mom who hurt want what is right in
honor of her child. Jeseca Luvslife Corde
