I think he will be charged.
I think the video shows an execution.
Just my opinion.

I am looking forward to viewing the footage.
1. Was Sanchez actually pushed, down, while holding his child, and how long was he on the floor, unconscious?
2. What was the actual distance between Sanchez and French at the time of the shooting? Was a use of lethal force necessary?
3. Could Sanchez have walked away from the confrontation? What stopped him from doing that action?
I agree with @SoCalDavidS, Sanchez is going to get a pass on this. What makes me really frustrated, is that if the victim was black, and there were racial differences in this situation, Sanchez would have already been fired and charged.
IIRC, it was the Riverside DA's office that requested the court order (or whatever the legal term is) to withhold the videotape's release, because it might bias potential jurors if there was a criminal case. To me, this seems to suggest that the DA's office is leaning towards charging him and wants to ensure no potential juror is (unnecessarily) influenced before the start of the trial. On the other hand, it could be the complete opposite - that the DA's office is NOT going to charge him but know that they will get a lot of criticism for the decision, and are hoping that a year will help the shooting drop off the radar and nobody will care come next June. I tend to believe in the former possibiity rather than the latter.Interesting perspective. I read now, that the judge has locked the video for a full year. The officer has not even been charged with any crimes, but the "evidence" cannot be released because the video could compromise the trial? Crazy.
Totally agree with this. My husband is blind and hearing impaired. He often bumps people, who don't notice that he has a long white cane. And he yells at people, they think he is angry. Nope, he is deaf.
I could see a situation like this at Costco, in a heartbeat, with him bumping into someone, turning, and yelling. Someone could easily say, "An angry, psycho guy knocked me down, and started yelling. I had to start shooting to protect myself.".
When, in reality, a disabled person bumped someone, their family went over to smooth things, and the shots were already fired.

I agree. Tis the best way they can really draw out not releasing the video. If it were John Doe Citizen, they would already be charged and the video would have been shown on every local news program.I wouldn't be surprised if the "investigation" takes up to a year.

Or longer. Maybe it will all just go away. Lost files, paperwork...
Doesn't the court order state that the video "shall not be released to the public... for one year from the date of the shooting... However, the video may be released at the conclusion of the criminal investigation if no charges are filed or at the conclusion of the prosecution if a criminal case is filed." I'm taking this to mean - the video can be released on June 15, 2020 (1 year from the date of the shooting) REGARDLESS of whether there the investigation is still ongoing and/or if a criminal case has been filed. The restrictions "at the conclusion of the criminal investigation" or "conclusion of the prosecution" only apply if either of those things happens before June 15, 2020.
Or am I misreading the court order?
The video will eventually be released and we will see it. Websleuths and others will make sure of that. Will we see a full video? That will remain to be seen. Unfortunately, California is among the worst for slow moving cases.Sure. Whatever.
Sorry to be so cavalier about it. A man was killed, and his two elderly parents were also injured. The man who shot them, has not even been charged with any crime, and he is still in his job as a uniformed law enforcement officer.
Does anyone really think that is perfectly reasonable?
They want this to go away, people to forget. Who is really going to mark this date on their calendar to follow up on in a year?
Parents of man shot to death by off-duty officer in Corona Costco to speak publicly Monday – Press Enterprise
"The parents of the developmentally disabled man shot to death June 14 in the Costco in Corona will speak publicly for the first time about the incident on Monday, Aug. 26, their attorney said Friday."
The parents have survived and will be speaking at a Press Conference Monday.
Thanks for posting this - should be interesting to hear what they have to say!
I wonder if their attorney will hit LAPD with a lawsuit, after all, LAPD has not terminated this officer for his behavior, that is equivalent to supporting his response of using deadly force.
BBM. I hope so and would not be surprised one bit. But dang, that $$$ will never make this right. What an idiotic move to pull a gun and shoot in a crowded Costco. FGS. I still can’t believe he did that. Moron.
