The family of a slain Southern California sheriff’s deputy has demanded the resignation of a judge who had previously released the lawman’s shooter despite a violent criminal record
Cynthia Salazar, and daughter, Rosalynn Salazar, 7, of Corona, stand along the route to honor slain Riverside County Sheriff Deputy Isaiah Cordero as the hearse carrying his body passes by on Friday, Jan. 6, 2023, in Riverside, Calif. Cordero was shot and killed on Dec. 29, 2022, by a man with a violent criminal history during a traffic stop and the suspect later died in a shootout on a freeway, authorities said.
Cordero had pulled over a pickup truck and the driver, 44-year-old William Shae McKay, pulled a gun and shot the deputy as he approached the vehicle, authorities said. Law enforcement pursued McKay in a “massive manhunt” that included a chase along freeways in two counties.Sobbing throughout her eulogy Friday during a memorial service, Rebecca Cordero said she last saw her son on Christmas Eve.
“The actual cause of death: disdain, disrespect, disregard, a dysfunctional system that has unfairly been politicized,” Rebecca Cordero said. “He should have been immediately sentenced to 25 years to life,” Bianco previously said. “We would not be here today if the judge had done her job.”
