❌️ One year ago today, two sons/brothers/fathers/husbands named🕊 Lionel and Juan Carlos Rodriguez🕊 sadly lost their lives in a crash that was irrefutably caused by the continued pattern of dangerous and negligent actions of Detective JONATHON NANGLE.
➖️ On September 5, 2023 NANGLE was quickly booked and released without the need for bond, following CHP and the District Attorney's decision to file Misdemeanor charges for Vehicular Manslaughter...& just last week on November 27th, 2023, NANGLE pled "Not Guilty" to both counts.
➖️ His next court date is set for January 22, 2024 at 8:30am in Department 3 of Sacramento Superior Court. NANGLE will more than likely appear via Zoom for his court date, as he has previously, but the Rodriguez family will be in attendance and they are in need of support ❤
❌️ According to court documents, NANGLE & attorney SUSAN WOOD will argue the crash was caused by the Rodriguez brothers...even though all the evidence has shown NANGLE is at fault.
📍CHP's investigation concluded NANGLE failed to maintain his lane and caused the crash
📍A witness turned in dashcam footage showing NANGLE driving erratically while on his phone, and swerving in and out of lanes just moments prior to the crash
📍NANGLE has a court documented history of causing car accidents due to his negligent actions
❌️ NANGLE and SacPD are trying to avoid accountability and sweep this under the rug. The Rodriguez family has never dealt with anything like this 💔 They feel alone and helpless, and feel like they aren't being treated fairly by the "Justice" system.
🙏🏼If you live in Sacramento or any surrounding areas, it would be whole heartedly appreciated if you could come out & show some love and support for The Rodriguez family on January 22nd, 2024, to try to help them throughout this process🙏🏼
‼️Make shirts, bring signs...help us fight for Justice For Carlos & Lionel‼️
‼️They will probably try & block community members from entering the court/court room, but we can protest outside to let them know Carlos and Lionel's lives were worth more than 2 misdemeanor charges‼️
