[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She wanted him charged as an adult, which isn’t unusual for vehicular homicide defendants two months shy of 18.  Parisa refused, and now the wealthy spoiled killer will be a free man when he’s 19 and eventually have the conviction expunged from his record.[/quote]

I don’t think it’s a given that the conviction will be expunged. Some juvenile offenses, if grievous enough, won’t be. Or at least there is a lengthy process to get it done and it’s certainly not automatic.

One of the things Parisa’s detractors argue is that Parisa didn’t show up to the sentencing. I don’t think she shows up to many, if any, sentences. Now you can argue that she should show up to more, but she just doesn’t and (appropriately, IMO) lets her employees handling the case attend those sentencing hearings. So while the Meade case is tragic, why should his case get more attention from the CA than other tragic cases in our area? Why does his family expect special treatment? It’s not unusual for DAs (or CAs in our area) in larger areas not to get personally involved in every case. Josh’s focus on this case really sits wrong with me.[/quote]
