Fox2News.com: 24-year-old ex-con free from jail on total of 31 felony bonds, exceeding more than $1 million



HARRIS COUNTY, Texas - "I've never seen someone who's out on a total of 31 felony bonds," said Andy Kahan with Crime Stoppers. 

You can't blame 24-year-old Joshua Gabriel Ortiz-Lopez for choosing freedom over a jail cell.

It's some Harris County Criminal District Court Judges who see no problem with granting a convicted felon 31 felony bonds.

"$1,160,000 in total bonds on eight felonies since 2019," Kahan said.

Ortiz-Lopez's felony charges include engaging in organized criminal activity, arson, retaliation, and possession of body armor by a convicted felon.

"I've seen his bond revoked on one case four times on another case four times," said Kahan.
"They keep reinstating it, and he keeps getting back out. He keeps reoffending and they keep putting him back out."

While out on bond, Ortiz-Lopez has racked up seven new felony charges and was convicted of felony theft in Montgomery County.

"If public safety is your primary goal to keep the public safe from an offender like him, it's not happening," said Kahan.

We went to the northwest Harris County home that Ortiz-Lopez claims as his address to the bonding company. A woman there told us, he no longer lives there.

"I dare anyone out there who's watching this, if you think you can top 31 felony bonds, call me, you contact us," Kahan said.

The judge responsible for all the felony bonds is Amy Martin. She lost the 263rd bench in last year's primary election.


I did! I did! I did see the problem. And apparently it has been corrected.

Its to bad this felon didn't commit a felony against the idiot judge that keeps releasing him to prey on the public.

Quite simply the names of these judges MUST be
published so that the law abiding/voting public will be better informed at re-election time.

maybe they are hoping he skips and then they will get to keep the money.... one way to look at it is that's pure profit compared to having to feed and cloth him in prison.

Harris County has a George Soros funded district attorny, Kim Ogg, who has been a disaster with bail "reform", undermining LEOs efforts, and the typical libtard playbook. Even for murder suspects, Ogg's office asks for low/no bail, and they go on to commit more murders (e.g. murder a witness).

Houston encompasses 7 counties with Harris being the largest county. Unfortunately, there are liberal judges in more than just Harris County which means that they'll ignore bonds in other counties. The most egregious was a murderer out on low bond (~$1000 if memory serves me correct) committed a murder in a 2nd county in Houston Metropolitan area and the GD judge let him out on a low bond. The original county didn't revoke bond and put the murderer in jail either.

On a related note, Texas Gov. Abbott just sent a letter to the Lt Gov and the Speaker of the House requesting legislation for parolees cutting off their ankle monitors. Currently no penalties and 3 Texans being murdered by someone who cutoff their ankle monitor.

If bail bondspeople put that up, he surely has at least half a dozen bounty hunters bail enforcement agents after him.

Well...Amy Martin is a Demotarded piece of fecal matter. The only problem, despite her losing the Democratic Primary, is that the Demotarded piece of fecal matter that defeated her in the primaries won over the Republican contender in the General Election.

Here is the NEW Demotarded piece of fecal matter that now presides over that district:

All due respect, Michael...it wouldn't do one damned bit of good. Not in the Demotarded bastion of Houston, TX where people punch the "D" button because, well...you know...that's what they've done all their lives. Vote on the actual issues??? Fuuuuuuuuuuuck no!!! Mad

If you get away from the Houston city limits, it's pretty damned Red in the surrounding areas of Harris County.

George Soros dumps money on these "progressive DAs" and the result is always the same lots of crime of every stripe. Soros has so much blood on his hands I wonder if he buys lemons by the bushel bag to clean the blood off before he goes to bed.

Who is writing these bonds and who is paying the bond premium?

Seems like a crazy business model unless the bonding company is involved in the criminal's illegal behavior.
