Jereh got his sense of humor and possibly cal to serve from our Lolo, We would argue what wes our favorite Joke from our Loto and we would end! up just teling jokes all evening, My favorite was when Jereh would Impersonate Lolo Lakay and say slowiy and deliberately, pausing between the Guestion| and answer furthermore accentusting the absurdity of the joke but also capturing the matter of fact expression of our Lolo: "How tong are your legs?" (pause and before telling the bunchline, Jereh would look around, nodding slightly very confident in himself and sure he was going to gat laughs) "Long enough to reach the ground," | was fortunate to have seen him grow as a young boy to a responsible young adult. As young boys tend to be, we were somewhat obnoxious and gross and laughed ct alot of stupid things, but as | matured, | saw a maturity grow with Jereh. infact, He matured and graw up fester then { did. At 0 young age, he knew tie wanted to help people and bellaved in justice, He wanted to Gedieate hs life in serving others, When I was stressing out whet major! was going to epply to ‘college for, he was mentally preparing himself for the police academy or starting beste training ithe should enlist in the armed forces.

What l mean about that statement Is that you could tal the tyae of person he I just by the way he carries himself. He was never a shy boy growing up and wilig to speak his mind In any situation. Being a shy introvert growing up, lalWays looked to himm'as an ékample to act especially wlth the way he portrayed himself, He truly has this ceinfidence:n himéelf and exudes ‘thot his ectlons and Interdettons with everyone he meets.

He constantly shows me the lessons we both learned from our family growing up. Growing up as FlipinoAmerieans, our Filipino culture teaches us the value of family and the respect we must stiow to our elders and others. We both ‘would visit our Loto (he would visit more often than I would) just to watch wrestling on TV and ‘grab a soda with him and keep him company. The way he supports his wife demonstrates how Important family Is in our lives. And, when Jereh enlisted In the Marine Reserves and completed basic training shows me the confidence in himself he exhibited when he was younger and his determination to serve others.

I've known Marcela since we were teenagers going to Highschool together. Through her relationship with Jereh and now marriage, | cen see what an amazing person Jereh Is because he brings out the best in Marcela and they're always smiling. One of my fondest memories with Jereh was the night that Marcela asked me to meet her and Jereh for dinner. To my surprise, Marcela asked me to be bridesmaid in her wedding, | was currently going through a divorce and had recently left my husband; Jereh noticed my shy attitude and reserved mood, and started cracking jokes about finding me a date. | was so grateful for that moment that he was able to turn my mood around so easily, Further down the road, I was able to talk to Marcela about how she felt now that she was getting married and shared that she knew that Jereh was the one because he puts her health and safety before himself. She shared a couple of experiences where Jereh made sure that Marcela was safe before proceeding and deciding what to do In an emergency situation. That showed me how selfless he is and was reassured that my closest friend was in good hands with him at her side. Jereh Is a man of respect, he always expressed his desire to become a police officer since he ‘was a child to serve and protect. In order to achieve his goal he served in the military as a responsible marine. He did volunteer work with SJPD as well. To this day, | have no doubt in my ming he's @ good person who wants nothing but the best for his family. | have always heard of him taking on some type of leadership or responsibility role in whatever situation affected his family. He always helped his grandparents making sure they have what they need, even living with his grandma during her last stages of life until her hospitalization due to her Alzhelmer's and dementia, He's an honest man who wants to be better and will do better in life when he returns. ‘The media has portrayed him negatively and I believe they are forgetting he’s an honest, ‘committed, and loving selfless husband. My heart breaks witnessing his wife dwindle without him, as one of her closest friends, 1 know his absence deeply affects her. It would help us to know he is In a safe facility away from harm's way. He is a great man and I know he will act in accordance to the rules and regulations of the facility he’s housed in, He wants nothing but to return home and won't risk anything to jeopardize that.Upon his return, Jereh will have his family business to return to in order to move forward with his life, ! have no doubt he will continue to be the backbone of his family and do everything in his power to maintain the family businesses and use it asa way to readjust to society, Jereh will continue to live in my heart and memories; Ill continue to maintain contact with Jereh and his family, ll continue to support his endeavors upon his returning home because | trust In him. Marcela and Jereh know that | am always more than willing to help in whatever they need, they are very dear to my heart.

I have been ardund Jereh and have been able to see his development as a human being,’ his care and concern for othérs, and his dedication to family and community. My very first experiences with Jereh’s caring nature started in 2008 at the Cheesecake Factory inside Oakridge Mall in San Jose, CA. Jereh helped me overcome my serving struggles; like how to pay attention to detail. As my trainer, he'd give me crucial reminders like “did you remember to put in the sesame seed allergy to alert the kitchen” or “dude, please give them a pasta spoon, not a soup spoon.” Jereh was the most patient mentor to me, the most caring server to his guests, and unsurprisingly the highest tip-earning waiter. His cool, detail oriented, and patient demeanor towards restaurant guests and staff, made it very easy to be a life long friends with Jereh. Through the years we would spend time together with more friends and family. Coming from the restaurant industry, one of our favorite social activity would be to meet up for delicious meals- our favorite _ being pork adobo and rice; enjoyed only with a laxge pasta spoon and fork. Not once did I ever see Jereh drink alcohol or even eat ‘sweets, He instilled in me that being with family and friends were the most important thing in life. He would talk about his beautiful wife and family as much as YouTube would play video clips of cats playing the keyboard and the hit track “Despacito”, which is always a pleasure to listen to. But Jereh’s goodcompany and génerosity doesn’t stop here, it keeps going. dust recently, in April, Jereh decided to host 4 matérnity photo. shoot for my wife and I in Santa Crug, Little didvhe know that I have aniinner 3 year old that does not do well with photography, but I guess it’s'a sidé effect that coniés with the high levels of multitasking as a RN (oh look! a Seagull!). However, Jereh’s patience and love to capture this special moment kicked in. He taugiit me how to hold a pose, smile; and eveh made me look good on camera! I was a toddler for nearly 4 hours and all he accepted for payitent was a single scoop of Marianne’s ice cream, so he could watch his wife enjoy it because Jereh does eat sweets, Thexe is nothing I have ever seen that would cause me to believe Jereh would be violent in any manner. Jereh teaches the skills to de-escalate and control situations verbally, calmly, and peacefully. Being the high-quality, ethical person he is, I have no doubt that he would abide by any and all rules and regulations upon placement in a facility. Going forward I ask you sincerely to please allow Jereh the privilege of being placement in a secure facility following sentencing.

Not only do I know he has made tons of friends the same way, but he easily has gotten along with everyoné we've encountered together. Jereh is the type of person that loves helping others in any situation they need help with whether it be lending an ear, lending his voice, ot being a mentor. Ho is a big supporter and helps in any way he can for his wife, fanily, friends, and the general public that he associates with to pursue their dreams, Jereh does a great job at making people feel good about themselves. I have personally gone to hini for help, advice, and just in times of feeling down. If] had to name one person who has the highest self-expectations, determination, and dedication for everything he enjoys doing and fot the ideas/plans he wants to take on, it would be Jereh, His passion to fulfill the things he wants to achieve in life is incredible, Starting a business is something that interests him greatly. He is extremely smart in all aspects and has special goals he wants to and I have faith that he will accomplish. Jereh has a lot of self respect and holds himself exceedingly well, ‘With the strong amount of background information I have collected from him, his wife, and others he has communicated with, and from what I know unil this day, I can say nothing has ever given me a red flag that, Jereh, would be violent, harm, or put any person's life in danger. With his background in the military and joining the sheriffs department I can assure he knows how to handle himself physicelly, mentally, And verbally in any situation with respect while remaining professional and calm. I genuinely believe I stand behind him in this hard time. Ultimately, I ask that you grant Jereh the privilege of being located to @ seoure facility after sentencing. ‘Yours faithfully, Rachele Lynn SayreDear honorable judge, My name Is Filiberto Soria and | am the brother-in-law of Jeréh Lubrin, I’ve known him for nine years. tam in disbeliéf over the tragic news, | cannot begin to fathom what has happened. Jereh is a person who doesn’t smoke, drink, do any type of drugs and is always doing well for himself and others, Jereh has always done things in life that signify respect, honor and bravery. He was a part of the military Marine’s Reserves and was in the running for SFPD. He also volunteered for SJPD. Jereh was always looking to improve his life and he helped encourage me to do the same for myself. Jereh Lubrin has lived up to his name, it means provider and that’s something he’s lived up to this entire time I’ve known him. He is kind, caring and selfless, Always caring for his grandparents and placing other’s first. His mother lived in his home until her Alzheimer’s required her to get hospitalized. | have no doubt he will continue to follow the rules placed before him in the facility of your choosing for placement. Filiberto Sotia Abibfrn, VelDéar Honorable Judge, My name is Josiah Tupas, and | ath one of Jireh Lubrin's friends; | know Jireh, his brother, sister, and his wife personally. The reason for this letler Is for Jireh to possibly bein place where he Is able to contribute positively to society. | understand what he ‘has cone to be in the position he is:in currently, and | believe that Jireh is aware of the actions that he has taken. | also believe that Jireh knows what It takes for soclety to accept him back, Jiteh and I have worked together for a faw years in the Cheesecake Factory, thankfully by his recommendation that ! got hired. He has had marly moments where people found him to be.quite abrasive; and aleo had plenty of instances where he has been a positive influence for strangers, mutual friends, and close relatives. | am not excusing his actions, but rather paint a realistic picture of what kind of a person he Is. At one point in my life, while | was diagnosed wilh canoer and my relationship with his sister was not doing gréat, | decided that | wanted fo take my life. Unfortunately, was not in my right mind when I went to visit her again, trying to make things work between us, At the time, | told Jireh’s sister that I gave up on life because | could not handle the ‘emotional and physical stress accompanied with it. | did not think it was a threat, but telling her of my motives, it was. A horrible decision on my part, although oddly and awkwardly, Jireh finds out | was visiting and decides to "take care” of me. We had a long talk. About my decision fo take my own life, which his sister did not need to know. He had every right to go ballistic on me at that point, but he did not. Was It due to me having cancer? Possibly. In the end; only Jireh knows the reason. After the talk We had, | decided to give up on ending my Iife. Although at that point, | gave up on everything, thinking ! was not going to be able to make it through my treatment, Because of that talk with Jireh, and me eventually making it through my treatments; my utioak in life changed to something more realistic. Where | finally realized that In the end, we are the only ones fully aware of our own actions, and why we do them. Itis admittedly a selfish request that | ask Jireh’s well-being be taken care of. If not, then I hope that Jireh gets placed in a prison where the environment is positive enough for a change in Jireh's beliefs to better fit today’s society. | have no doubt that he Is very capable of doing what is required, due to my consideration that he is that type of person.
