My suspicion is you're lying, Judge Robert Lemkau said, according to transcripts from a Jan. 21 hearing in Victorville court, but I'm keeping the custody orders in full force and effect. Wyatt was then turned over to Garcia that day. Both Garcia and the child were found dead 10 days later... " http://www.vvdailypress.com/news/order-17122-bid-rejected.html
Both of these men need to be removed from the bench!
