Two Good Samaritans won't face charges in rescue of beating victim

 The two Good Samaritans who intervened to save a woman being beaten by her ex-boyfriend and then beat the man unconscious will not be charged, a district attorney said Friday evening. 

Travis Martin and Anthony Gonzales were arrested Thursday after they stopped Jerry Bogue from beating his ex-girlfriend Gayle Sullivan with a stick, according to the Kern County Sheriff’s Department. They beat Bogue unconscious, using the same stick.

Bogue left the hospital Thursday afternoon and was arrested on suspicion of assaulting Sullivan sometime later.

“There’s no point in filing on (Martin and Gonzales),” said Ron Shumaker, supervising deputy district attorney for the Kern County District Attorney’s office. “I can’t imagine a jury would convict them.”
 
The two men and Sullivan all say that the men were acting to protect her, Shumaker said. The injuries Sullivan suffered were significantly more serious than those Bogue suffered, he said.
 
Gonzales and Martin were expected to be released Friday unless they were on probation or there was a separate warrant out for their arrest, according to a court clerk. Bogue has a court hearing scheduled for Monday and was held on $70,000 bail in the downtown jail on Friday evening.

This being in the 'Dale, how long after he (Bogue) gets out, is she back with him?

But, kudos to Gonzales and Martin for doing what most people would just watch and get the camera phone rolling.

BTW, anybody hear some of people that called Ralph Bailey today claiming to have inside info.  Hilarious!!!

Just like several people on this board predicted would happen.

Hello, that is only right. Finally  some real justice. Now if only something could be done for Compean, and Ramos

Popeye stop being so simple minded would ya. I know her and the two guys. Travis is my brother in law and Anthony and her are his neighbors. So from someone with a little more knowledge of the whole situation she won't be going back to him anytime soon. And not because he is going to be in jail for a while, but because she left him over three years ago and never has gone or planned to go back to him.

  Is the picture of the snake? if so, it took two guys to put that knot on his head?LOL

Lana, who knows how many body shots they hit him with? Maybe they kneecapped him.

Nothing will be done for Compean and Ramos. You cannot stop someone in flight by shooting him in the back, and then try the old "he reached into his waistband" line. They're toast.

Good move on the part of the DA.

posted by gube on Aug 2, 2008 at 09:51 AM

Good for the DA ......................Some people need to have their asses kicked..............Its the only way that you can get through to them....Besides any man that would hit a girl deserves to have the holy sh-t knocked out of him............

Geez, superbad29, who really cares what these guys are, they stopped a woman from possibly being killed.  Maybe a little too far but he got what was coming to him. Maybe he'll think twice about hitting women.  I also like to think of a true hero as someone that can spell.

posted by michele1075 on Aug 2, 2008 at 12:53 PM

Oh, I didn't realize she was already safe. I just thought that they came upon it and stopped it. That in fact would be 'my bad'!!!

posted by Quicksho on Aug 2, 2008 at 02:54 PM

Well from the real side of things I have been friends with Gail for 15 years, and this guy has stalked her , beat her, and threatened to kill her several times, and if you ask her mother she would tell you that Gail has been trying to get away from him over the last 3 years with no luck. He will eventually kill her if something is not done.

My prayers are with Gayle Sullivan -- I know what she's going through .  There are no easy solutions.  The beating may make Bogue think twice before he harms her again, but it's doubtful.  I fear for Ms Sullivan's safety if Bogue is released on bail -- he's going to be even angrier.  Quicksho may be right -- Bogue will kill Sullivan if something is not done.

The legislatures of this state need to wake up & put some real teeth in our domestic violence laws.  I pray the DA throws the book at Bogue & that a Judge will set a bond so high that he will remain in custody.

This is the #2 story on the San Jose Mercury News website under "breaking news."  Just thought some of you might find that interesting.

posted by vanityfair on Aug 5, 2008 at 06:53 PM

Something found itself a computer. Just saying.

posted by jl79 on Aug 5, 2008 at 09:54 PM

I just gotta say that i know the Bogue family WELL and this is all a bunch of crap. If Gail was punched in the face as she puts it when Jerry opened the door why doesnt she have any marks or bruises on her face??? I know that Jerry and Gail have had a very ROCKY past but if she is so afraid for her life why does she always go back to him???? She is a liar and her lies will catch up to her. Her "good samaritans" are in fact just bully's who went with her to assault him.

posted by dirtyapril on Aug 6, 2008 at 07:12 PM

Imagine that jl79 someone that knows what the he** is going on once she is found out as a liar she should be embarresed???? her no she will keep using people for everything she can get money,drugs,what ever !!!!!!!! so any and every one watch your pockets!!!!!!!!! lol

"Dirtyapril"-- The name says it all.

posted by Rickldo on Aug 6, 2008 at 09:23 PM

!!!!!!!!!  !!!!!!! !!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

Look at all the exclamation points. Wow! Now if only someone could find the shift (it creates CAPITAL letters), period and comma keys.

Is it just me? Does anyone else see this? Whenever someone creates a profile to "defend" some loser, they show how little education they've received. It's sad really.

  LMAO, Rickldo~ Ever seen a crankster who has no control over their hands? LOL...She just couldn't make her finger STOP!!
posted by michele1075 on Aug 6, 2008 at 09:53 PM

Dirtyapril-Get over it!! Call the welfare dept if you must report someone and while your at it enroll in a class or 2 yourself.  you sound like a rambler to me....let it go!!

posted by PopeyesWorld on Aug 6, 2008 at 10:20 PM

Wonder from under what rock Dirtyapril come from?  She seems happy as an exclamation point! LOL!

Rickldo- LOL, Nope, not just you.  Seems people find out about the website and for whatever reason think that our opinion can be changed because "They know that person", and that person is wonderful and sweet, and would never do the things that they are accused of, lol.  Of course, I'm waiting for me to know "That Person". 

wiseguy- I am far from simpleminded...I'll just leave at that.

lana- I know that, but doesn't just seem that most of the incidents like this are in Oildale?  Gotta go with the stereotypes, lol.

  Popeye, With a name like dirtyapril, she has to be from oildale....As soon as they get low on dope, they wont be back, 'Look man we can get 40$ for this computer'!

If this is typical of your spelling, punctuation and grammar, then you need to repeat those classes

posted by michele1075 on Aug 7, 2008 at 06:45 PM

True Rick, hahahha! Because that sure isn't short text typing either.
