Killler Dads and Custody Lists

Dad on trial for attempted murder of mom, abduction of 5-year-old daughter during "custody dispute" (Temecula, California)

A few lessons about the English language. A "dispute" implies the disagreement of two parties. When a custody "dispute" leads to attempted murder and kidnapping, then we are not talking about a custody "dispute." We are talking about a father (in this case JOSE DE JESUS CARDON ALCALA) who is using child custody as just another one of his weapons to further hurt/intimidate/control the mother. Notice that this POS got the kidnapping charges dropped, despite "allegedly" shooting the mother in the abdomen. Can't interfere with his father's rights, don't ya know. Sick.

Jury selection got under way today for the trial of a Temecula man accused of trying to kill his estranged wife during a custody dispute that ended with the defendant fleeing with his 5-year-old daughter.

Jose De Jesus Cardon Alcala, 39, is charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, spousal abuse, burglary and multiple gun and great bodily injury allegations in the Aug. 23, 2008, attack on then-43-year-old Marta De Ochoa.

Alcala is being held without bail at the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta.

Riverside County Superior Court Judge Mark Mandio summoned the first panel of prospective jurors to his courtroom today for screening. Jury selection is expected to wrap up later in the week.

According to sheriff’s investigators, Alcala broke into Ochoa’s residence in the 43100 block of Corte Cabrera in Temecula in the predawn hours on the day of the assault. The two had been at odds over a number of issues, including custody of their daughter, then-5-year-old Kaylee Jocelyn Cardona.

After forcing his way into her bedroom, Alcala allegedly shot his estranged wife in the stomach and snatched Kaylee, according to sheriff’s officials.

The defendant fled north with the girl, heading to Rosamond, in Kern County, where he had relatives, investigators said.

An Amber Alert was broadcast statewide, providing information to the public about Alcala’s vehicle. That afternoon, Kaylee was found unharmed at a family member’s home in Rosamond.

A short time later, Kern County sheriff’s deputies spotted Alcala dining at a nearby fast-food restaurant and arrested him without incident.

Ochoa underwent surgery and survived her wounds. She and her daughter were reunited the next day.

Alcala was initially charged with kidnapping, but that count was dismissed for lack of evidence following a June 2009 preliminary hearing.
