If doctors can be held responsible for bad decisions why not judges?


Martinez knifeman who allegedly butchered man on California street was released just a day earlier


A knifeman who allegedly stabbed a 68-year-old man to death in broad daylight had been released from jail just a day earlier.

Marcos Iriarte-Valdez, 36, was originally arrested over a spate of burglaries on April 29, before he was released then rearrested for breaching his home detention last Tuesday.

During a court appearance on Wednesday a judge ordered him freed on his own recognizance and referred him back to the home detention monitoring program.

Marcos Iriarte-Valdez is pictured in a surveillance video capturing the fatal stabbing of a Martinez man.

Iriarte-Valdez allegedly killed Todd Stewart outside his home in a terrifying attack caught on video in Martinez, near the Bay Area, California on Thursday.

Surveillance footage shows Iriarte-Valdez pulling up in a Cadillac SUV wearing dark jeans, a gray shirt and a tactical vest.
