BREAKING! Judge Merchan Orders Trump to be Sentenced on Jan. 10 in New York Hush Money Case.

SF judge lets serial car burglar out of jail after less than 4 months, I-Team investigates.

A San Francisco Superior Court judge went through with his plea offer Thursday for a serial car burglar, ordering him released from jail after less than four months. San Francisco DA Brooke Jenkins took this case very seriously. Instead of the General Felonies Unit, she assigned this to a major crimes prosecutor and pushed for a two-year state prison sentence. It didn't work.

Unlike judges in past hearings for repeat car burglar Robert Sonza, San Francisco Superior Court Judge Bruce E. Chan denied our request for a camera in the courtroom at Thursday's hearing - for video or still pictures. And he went through with his offer. In exchange for guilty pleas to five felonies -- Receiving Stolen Property, Accessory After the Fact, Possession of a Firearm by a Felon, Concealed Firearm in a Vehicle, Possession of Ammunition - Sonza will be released after less than four months in county jail.

I've just taken the oath of office for a new term in Congress. My first goal for this session is restoring sanity to California by Newsom-proofing our state. That includes ending High-Speed Rail and the Sanctuary State.

My second objective is getting our country back on track: revitalizing the economy, securing the border, bringing common sense back to American life.

Thank you for the honor of being your representative, and for believing that our state and country are worth fighting for.
