There was only a small amount of justice in San Diego yesterday during the sentencing of pedophile Bud Parson as reported in the North County Times. Go to www.nctimes.com and type "Joyce Murphy"
However, the behavior of ADA Kelly Mok was absolutely inexcusable. Mok phoned it in, remaining seated and not advocating for Joyce to read her Victims Impact Statement. Perhaps because DA Bonnie Dumanis is still targeting Joyce Murphy.
(Joyce "kidnapped" her daughter as a last ditch effort to save her from Parson after dealing for years with an indifferent police department and a nightmarish family court. Unfortunately, DA Bonnie Dumanis went after Joyce like "gang busters." Including tripling Joyce's fines....when both the police and the DA should be apologizing to Joyce for their failure to act in spite of her repeated pleas for help.)
Ergo, how the "Family Protection Unit" operates more like the "Family Rejection Unit." A serious restructuring is in order.
Also, am left wondering why Bonnie Dumanis is influencing policy on the Board of Governors while targeting victims? Joyce Murphy is not the only case of this nature.
Unfortunately, "shooting the messenger" is a time-honored tradition with this DA, who likewise will often not bring cases unless she feels it's a slam dunk.
But then, San Diego does have a long history of acceptance of pedophiles. Consider San Diego attorney Richard Candor, who obtained his license to practice law *after* pleading "no-contest" to molesting all five of his daughters,

Last, there's no way San Diego judge Lorna Alksne should be "serving" on the Elkins Task Force as she is embroiled in cases adn remains Exhibit A when defining the problem. While no one expects Judge Alksne to trash talk her peers, when interviewed by Channel 10, she said San Diego Judges were doing an "Excellent" job; it is expected she have at the very least, a nodding awareness of reality.

The Busby Affair
Noise complaints aside, Busby is a good cheerleader...but not leadership material. I don't want someone representing me who doesn't know she doesn't have to answer the deputy's questions. That's kind of too basic a lack of awareness, gives me the willies.— September 1, 2009 4:53 p.m.
