JUSTICE,
COTO
DE CAZA STYLE
April
28, 2006
IS THIS JUSTICE?
We just had a constructive,
and at times very heated, conversation with Orange County's Deputy District
Attorney, Susan Schroeder regarding the tragic
accident that occurred March 12, 2006 at the intersection of North Hampton
Place and Lexington Way in Coto de Caza, resulting in the death of
75 year-old Morteza Manian,
|
as
he was struck by an under-aged hit-and-run driver,
eventually arrested and charged with vehicular
manslaughter, felony hit and run and resisting and
delaying or obstructing an officer.
Our
position in this case to Susan is that justice has not
been done Immediately Susan went on the defensive
stating that justice was being done citing California
Rules of Court, Rule 1423. Confidentiality of records
(§§ 827, 828 and California Bar
Association Rules of Professional Conduct, among a
litany of other state and national statues.
Our response?
We know of quite a few attorneys whose behavior
seems to violate every single rule contained in the
California Bar Association to which she agreed,
saying that there is a significant number of
non-conforming attorneys.

We
also informed Susan that certain Coto de Caza board sympathizers are placing the
blame on the victim, who is unable to defend himself:
Another teen runs down an old man on a bike. The
old man is violating the vehicle code, and the teen runs away after the
accident. Is that right? writes this board supporter. The
same person also admits to not only being new to the community, but also having little background
when it comes to public safety
issues, not having read the countless comprehensive security proposals rejected
by the Coto de Caza board of directors yet he is wiling to give the board a
pass and condemn the victim and simply say: "Oh well, there is another Coto
kid who was just arrested and charged with vehicular
manslaughter, felony hit and run and resisting and
delaying or obstructing an officer"!

So
our question to Susan is: Given
that there are people within Coto de Caza who are blaming the tragedy on
the victim, who cannot defend himself, while at the same time, the
Orange County DA is not able to say anything about the case is that
justice?
Is
this what the Institute
for Legal Reform means when in its recent press release syas:
West Virginia, Louisiana, Illinois, California, and Texas were among
the worst states for legal fairness, while Mississippi is improving
after enacting legal reforms, according to a new ranking of the best and
worst state legal systems released today by the U.S. Chamber Institute
for Legal Reform (ILR)?
