Ramos in a political flyer (for political gain?) exploits a man the system presumes innocent!!

Today, most of San Bernardino County voters received a color flyer with John Yablonsky's name on it with the words "IT'S NEVER A COLD CASE" and on the other side "GANGBUSTER". Ramos slides to new lows by not only bragging about a conviction rate of roughly 60% (when most major counties have an 85-90% conviction rate) and bragging about his having waited almost his entire term before filing for a getting an anti-gang injunction (curiously timed to just before the election), but he now taints the jury pool (voters are typically amongst the people that serve on juries) by putting the name and face of an accused (not yet convicted) alleged killer on one of his political fliers. I hope that Yablonsky, if he guilty, does not get off due to the advertising stunt of a desperate Mike Ramos anxious to find any reason to tell voters to vote for him. Why, I ask you, if his department has sent "over 3,000 gangbangers" to prison (which is barely over 60% of the people he charged--which means rough 2,000 gangbangers who committed crimes are back on the street doing their thing) did Ramos not use the names of people he succeeded in putting away as evidence of his success? Why pick a man that has the presumption of innocence, especially where the result might be to taint the jury pool. How far does Ramos go to win? Oh yeah, I forgot, Ramos is not bothered by the law.
