CA CA - Emmanuel Haro, 7-months, reported kidnapped 7:30pm from Big 5 parking lot, Yucaipa Blvd, Yucaipa, 14 Aug 2025 *Arrest* #3

Emmanule where are you baby boy? We're going to get you justice! Fly high little angel.

 

[AngTxGal]

In the pictures, he's either lying down flat out, or being held up. No tummy time, no crawling, no independent sitting up. No giggling, no grasping, no shoving his wee hands in his mouth.

Exactly, something was clearly wrong with the little guy and had been for a while.
That’s sick

IMO

Despite having been “invested” in true crime for years, it still boggles my mind how plain evil some people can be. And to what end? Destroying lives for absolutely nothing.

I know that there are only a couple of photos that have been released and we are only seeing a brief snapshot in time in those photos, but the ones I’ve seen, his fists are clenched in a similar way to my son’s. Especially in the photo of Emmanuel in the blue shirt. This is a photo of my son from last year when he was 12. He can open up and use his hand just fine, but this is its “default” position.

“I’m absolutely precluded from commenting publicly about the case,” said Judge Moore, who acknowledged that the controversy caught him by surprise. “In 18 years, this is the first time I’ve been taken to task in this manner about a decision I’ve made.”

Father charged with killing baby Emmanuel Haro was allowed to avoid prison in recent child abuse case

“I’m giving you a chance,” said the judge who gave him probation. “Don’t mess it up.”

lbpost.com

If he is precluded from commenting about the case, can someone else (lawyer) explain or speculate about possibly why he gave the sentence he did without violating any legal ethics? I've not read anything like this and I think just about anyone who knows about this case is really questioning why.

Under specific legal circumstances a prosecutor (DA) can appeal a judge's sentencing.
I'm very curious of DA Hastin looked into this?

It's on record that Hastin didn't agree with the sentence and wouldn't sign the sentencing documents so was that it?

No, a person who is beaten does not necessarily choose to harm an infant.
He was impatient, unable to control himself, he acted in his own interests and didn’t care about anyone but himself.
Look into his past and you will see women who have been victims of DV- certainly

Why does he beat and physically hurt other people- I don’t care why!
Keep him away from others- none of us, no matter how small, should be resigned that we should tolerate being hurt so that someone else can be free- to hurt us.

IMO

I see JH as a sadistic torturer of both his daughter and most likely Emmanuel.

His 10 week old daughter had "healing injuries" so we know that she was in pain and suffered from the first injury she got and had to have cried out in pain.

JH had the time to see how the first injury(s) he inflicted on her harmed her yet he did not stop then and continued to beat her and the rest is history.

I didn't see the parking lot return in the main video from that web page. Is there a second video link somewhere on that page, and I missed it? Or I wonder if the main video was edited between the time you first posted and now.

Ah yes sorry there are three videos on that link. The car park footage is on the third video down, the still image is of the two of them in court. It is a news article but if you go forwards to 1.43 you will see them doing their own 'search'.

I just checked and it's definitely still up.

Thank you for pointing that out, I hadn't seen that footage either. Their little performance is NUTS. Poking around in the bushes and along fencelines, good god. Using their little 2-year-old as part of the drama! Especially knowing this was the only actual "searching" they ever did.

But sure, she wants to be free so she can "look for her baby."

 

[agilbe]

<modsnip: Quoted post was removed> Would love to know what the judge's thought process was. The only thing I can figure out is JH is a silver tongued devil. A true scammer. And managed to pull a fast one on the judge. But of course that is JMO.

Yeah it actually made me wonder if one of them realised they had dropped something so they faked a reason to go back and look for it. But more likely they just realised there was an opportunity to do some more 'acting'. I think for people like this part of the appeal of their crime is the (delusional) feeling that they are 'duping' the public and the media. They think they are smarter than everyone else.

I also thought it was interesting during the interview where the dad is holding the daughter, that the daughter doesn't look distressed at all by his mood. IMO little kids are quite good at picking up on emotions, and for her there was nothing alarming about Daddy's demeanour, even though he should really have been in the most heightened state of stress she had ever witnessed. For reasons we are all suspecting, either she has seen Daddy in far more alarming states than this, and/or his actual emotions weren't legitimately heightened enough to upset/alarm a young child.

I thought the same thing about the interview with Jake holding the 2 yr old. The looks she is throwing seem odd ,for what should have been to frantic parents . Like she knows he is lying and she thinks it is amusing or something. IDK she is 2 and beautiful so her smile was precious no matter what. But she definitely knew they were lying .

All these attorneys representing these two grown adults who had free agency to conduct their own lives. Too bad Emmanuel wasn't assigned an attorney (or at least an agent) to represent his own interests since birth given that Emmanuel was a dependent infant and given his father's history with dependent infants.

They said he was retired and was helping out, right? And before he retired, he was pretty strict?
I'm assuming if he's retired, then he must be older. And for him to pass a judgment out of character from his previous career... it makes me wonder if he might not have had undiagnosed dementia.
Obviously, I have no way of knowing this and am in no way a medical professional. I'm just trying to think of how a judge could make such a horrendous error in... well, judgment.

Yes, because it absolutely boggles the mind as to why he ruled as he did.

 

[SMK777]

At the 2023 hearing, Deputy District Attorney Sam Taloa took issue with the lenient sentence.

“Your Honor, I would just ask for the record to reflect that the People are objecting to this,” said Taloa. “This is based on the severity of the injuries, as we discussed, to the victim.”

“We have hung a very large hammer over the defendant’s head,” he said, according to a transcript obtained by the Long Beach Post.

If only the Judge could have seen the future.

He didn’t need a crystal ball, as most offenders go back to their old habits; JH must have feel invincible: he fooled an (allegedly) educated man and got away with an horrific crime

And I believe he is going to try it again. Since he had such good luck the first time around. Not sure this time will have the same results though. At least I hope not. JMO

 

[Frodosdojo]

This new trend (or at least new to me) of accused killers giving jailhouse interviews against the advice of their legal counsel is just wild to me. Particularly when these individuals are no stranger to the legal system having been defendants in previous criminal cases. SMH

the stupid of that just astonishes me

I think this is R & J's method of communicating with each other. Both interviews were with the same small news source. I wonder if they arranged that prior to their arrest.

The judge said he wanted to give Jake a chance. How can we give people who abuse and shake babies a chance? Judge put his heart in the wrong place this time.

I totally agree.

Emmanuel would not have been born of course, if JH had served time. We all know the facts of life, and only that single sperm and that month’s egg could have produced Emmanuel.

But JH would have gotten out at some time, and likely would’ve just continued on his life’s chosen path of making, then destroying, his babies.

We’d have the same thread here but with a different baby name.

ETA @LadyL
Yes, I suppose a conjugal visit at just the right time could have created Emmanuel.

But I would hope that a man imprisoned for child cruelty would not be granted conjugal visits by a judge who was actually paying attention.


JMO

Let's not forget he had a 2 year old as well.

If only the Judge could have seen the future.

He didn't need to see the future. All of us who had read about the injuries and saw the pictures of the baby he harmed would never have allowed that man out free. There was something wrong with the judge - I don't know if it was that day or this was his habit.
