The decision for Mr. Rios to take the stand in his defense Wednesday in his Pimping, Pandering, Rape and Insurance Fraud case is either a sign of desperation on the part of the defense, or the inability of the Public Defender to control the ego and narcissistic behavior and desires of his client.
For Mr. Rios to testify in his own defense is a dangerous move on their part as it would open Mike Rios up to cross examination and challenges of his credibility as a witness.
Rios who is well known for his blatant outright lies to the public could have those prior statements used against him by the Deputy District Attorney to show that Mr. Rios is someone who’s statements and overall credibility have proven to show him as a habitual liar, and as such his testimony in the trail should be question by the jury.
In cross examination of Rios, the prosecutor would be free to bring in prior unrelated statements (not related to this case) made by Rios as a showing of his lack of truthfulness, this is allowed as a challenge to the witness’s credibility.
As is well known Mr. Rios has in the past claimed to have been an elected member of the Moreno Valley City Council, this was done for him to gain news coverage for himself in is then upcoming bid for a seat upon the MVUSD Board. This claim was also used to gain entry and trust of the family of the late Norma Lopez, who as soon as they found out he was not who he had claimed to asked him to leave their, a request he refused and had to be subsequently removed by member of the Moreno Valley Police department.
Mr. Rios also used the same claim of being a City Council member with a local business owner, who later boasted on Facebook about how he and “Councilman Rios,” were to be having a news conference regarding the Norma Lopez disappearance.
There is also the claims he made during his 2008, and 2010 campaigns, and several times during the years in between of his owning his own investigation company which involved the investigations into fraud and embezzlement, and how as such he put “white collar criminals in jail,” however this was untrue, as Mr. Rios held no such license as an investigator (a requirement under California law) nor was he in the employee of any firm or business which was licensed as an investigation company, of which he could operate under their license.
Mr. Rios has also stated his daughter from his first marriage was accepted to Harvard University, prior to her graduation from high school, however this too was a mere fabrication on Rios’ part, his daughter did however go on to go to college, but in Long Beach, CA…
We also have the shooting event for which he is to stand trial for starting February 8th, in which his first account to the police (by way of 911 as well as to the responding officers) he was the one who was shot at. His first account was that he was rushed at his front door of his home, where one of the two individuals (who later became the true victims) pulled out a firearm and opened fire on him.
This same statement of the was used by Mr. Rios that same morning in early February of 2012, at the Moreno Valley Unified School District offices, where Mr. Rios went to seek protection at the expense of the taxpayer, a request which was denied.
Mr. Rios even alleged that Gordon Tucker, also known as mvgordie, was somehow involved in the shooting attack on him in front of his home. However as it was later discovered through the investigation, and later admittance, of Mike Rios, there was no such attack on him, and that he himself used a firearm to shoot at the two individuals who were sitting in a car on the street near his home.
There are many other others issues surround Mr. Rios and his inability to tell the truth, that if the prosecutor’s office were to wish to use them, they could, and Mr., Rios’ desire to show his conman skills from the witness stand gives them that open opportunity.
One more issues is Mr. Rios’ narcissistic personality disorder, coupled with his off the wall beliefs in self-ordained God like powers, could cause Rios to go off on the stand in some form of temper tantrum, anyone in the public that has watched School Board meetings, past Moreno Valley City Council meetings or have seen his personal web blog, would know full well, Mr. Rios doesn’t deal from a full deck.
The prospects for healthcare reform may be chillier than DC weather, but Democrats in the House and Senate are turning their attention to another warmer but still significant national issue: the increasing number of runaway and throwaway youth who are being forced into prostitution. In response to the growing concerns that desperate, runaway teens will be forced into prostitution in a sluggish economy, Congress is pushing several bills to improve how runaway kids are tracked by the police, fund crucial social services, and prevent teens from being caught in sex trafficking. Here's the gist of what the new legislation is trying to accomplish:
