Child molester jumps off building hours after conviction
Carlos Edward Tello, who was staring down the barrel of 20 years in prison after being convicted of child molestation, decided to save the California taxpayers some loot by instead jumping from the 9th floor of the Central Justice Center in Santa Ana just hours after the verdict had been reached.
A jury in a Fullerton courtroom earlier Tuesday convicted Tello of repeatedly molesting a young girl between 1989 and 1994.
Deputy District Attorney Heather Brown tried to have Tello’s bail revoked and have him taken into custody immediately after the verdicts were announced. She said he was carrying a suicide note when he was arrested in 2006 in the case and that he might be in danger.
Superior Court Judge Greggory Prickett declined to revoke Tello’s bail, instead ordering him to return to the Fullerton courtroom by 4:30 p.m.
