Carlsbad bookkeeper accused of embezzlement
Deborah Ann Gore made a deal, pleading guilty to two felonies: embezzlement by employee and fraud by forging checks. She admitted stealing “about $166,000” according to the prosecutor, Anna Winn. The brazen embezzler expects to be sentenced to 28 months state prison on December 18, 2013.

Convicted child abuser skipped before the verdict
For my work I need to maintain polite relationships with attorneys and judges and bailiffs and families of victims and law enforcement personnel, you can understand. I consider myself a friend of the truth, and anyone who wants the truth to be known should not take offense at my work.

Convicted child abuser skipped before the verdict
Thank you for your kind offer. Yes, please send copies of your transcripts to Eva Knott, care of The San Diego READER, PO BOX 85803, San Diego CA 92186-5803. Please find some peace and comfort in prayer, and your daughter too.

Convicted child abuser skipped before the verdict
Deputy District Attorney Marnie Layon is a hard working attorney and a wife and the mother of her own little girls. She has dedicated herself to prosecuting these awful child abuse cases, which are hard on everybody. Marnie Layon re-tried this case, even after the first mistrial, which is discouraging of course. Even though you believe there was a confession, when there is a sharp criminal defense attorney like Herb Weston working for the accused, anything can happen. Give the prosecutor her due.

Three-year-old case charging attempted-murder is delayed again
Defense attorney Herb Weston delayed trial again this week, all parties were in San Diego Superior Court on November 20, 2013. The case is now calendared for February 19, 2014; but already there is hinting that trial will not begin on that date, either. The alleged shooting occurred April 10, 2010.

Convicted child abuser skipped before the verdict
Late update: From prosecutor Marnie Layon: "The defendant was convicted of all counts and allegations, and thus faces 165 years to life if the court chooses to run all 11 counts consecutively. I will not speculate as to why Mr. McCarron willfully failed to be present for the reading of his verdict." Also today, the San Diego County Sheriff released a fugitive bulletin today declaring Joseph McCarron to be "armed and dangerous;" he should not be approached, anyone who sees McCarron is advised to dial 911. The fugitive is described as 5 feet 7 inches tall, 160 pounds, hair is reddish-brown and thinning, eyes are brown-hazel. He could be driving a 1993 green Honda Accord, California plates 3ELK383.

Sentencing delayed for man convicted of child abuse
Daniel Hood has been able to delay sentencing several times, his next court date is now December 2, 2013. At that hearing, Judge Bowman will rule on whether or not Hood will get a new trial. If the new trial request is denied, the judge will then hear statements from the mother and father of the abuse victim. And then Daniel Hood can expect to learn his sentence.
— November 17, 2013 10:11 a.m.
Death at Libby Lake Park,
Prosecutor Cal Logan said defendant Bejaran confessed two separate counts of murder, and admitted the gang allegation. “He will get life without parole on December 11,” the prosecutor stated. “No parole ever.” Two co-defendants, Gibson and Hamilton, each admitted two counts of voluntary manslaughter plus gang allegations, according to prosecutor Logan. “Each will get 20 years.” Sentencing for Gibson and Hamilton is set for early next year, on January 14, 2014. The confessions and plea deals were announced in San Diego County Superior Court on November 8, 2013. The families of the two children that were shot to death are expected to attend both sentencings and will have opportunity to speak to the court.

She gave her son a house in Solana Beach, a new Lexus, and $130,000
Bryan Chang, now 33, appeared in court today November 6, 2013. Although Chang has had many mental health evaluations during the years he has been in custody, today Superior Court Judge Aaron Katz ordered one more psychologist to meet with the defendant. Forensic expert Dr. Judith Meyers, Psy.D., will be required to video-record her interview with Chang, the judge said today, per request of both attorneys. Chang's next court appearance is set for January 8, 2014, nearly four years since his mother's body was found in her Solana Beach home.

Alleged robbery was just a weapons check, attorney suggested
Private defense counsel Andrew Limberg negotiated a deal for his client. Jose Reyes admitted two felonies, robbery and assault with a deadly weapon, in exchange for a four-year-prison term. With the gang allegations, also admitted, Reyes could have gotten more than 18 years. Two other felony charges were dropped in the plea deal. Sentencing is set for October 30, 2013, before the Honorable Judge Aaron Katz.

Carlsbad bookkeeper accused of embezzlement
Deborah Ann Gore made a deal, pleading guilty to two felonies: embezzlement by employee and fraud by forging checks. She admitted stealing “about $166,000” according to the prosecutor, Anna Winn.

Convicted child abuser skipped before the verdict
For my work I need to maintain polite relationships with attorneys and judges and bailiffs and families of victims and law enforcement personnel, you can understand. I consider myself a friend of the truth, and anyone who wants the truth to be known should not take offense at my work.— November 23, 2013 7:01 a.m.
Convicted child abuser skipped before the verdict
Thank you for your kind offer. Yes, please send copies of your transcripts to Eva Knott, care of The San Diego READER, PO BOX 85803, San Diego CA 92186-5803. Please find some peace and comfort in prayer, and your daughter too.— November 23, 2013 6:57 a.m.
Convicted child abuser skipped before the verdict
Deputy District Attorney Marnie Layon is a hard working attorney and a wife and the mother of her own little girls. She has dedicated herself to prosecuting these awful child abuse cases, which are hard on everybody. Marnie Layon re-tried this case, even after the first mistrial, which is discouraging of course. Even though you believe there was a confession, when there is a sharp criminal defense attorney like Herb Weston working for the accused, anything can happen. Give the prosecutor her due.— November 23, 2013 5:55 a.m.
Three-year-old case charging attempted-murder is delayed again
Defense attorney Herb Weston delayed trial again this week, all parties were in San Diego Superior Court on November 20, 2013.

The alleged shooting occurred April 10, 2010. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/n…— November 22, 2013 6:29 a.m.
Convicted child abuser skipped before the verdict
Late update: From prosecutor Marnie Layon: "The defendant was convicted of all counts and allegations, and thus faces 165 years to life if the court chooses to run all 11 counts consecutively. I will not speculate as to why Mr. McCarron willfully failed to be present for the reading of his verdict." Also today, the San Diego County Sheriff released a fugitive bulletin today declaring Joseph McCarron to be "armed and dangerous;" he should not be approached, anyone who sees McCarron is advised to dial 911. The fugitive is described as 5 feet 7 inches tall, 160 pounds, hair is reddish-brown and thinning, eyes are brown-hazel. He could be driving a 1993 green Honda Accord, California plates 3ELK383. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/n…— November 21, 2013 5:29 p.m.
Sentencing delayed for man convicted of child abuse
Daniel Hood has been able to delay sentencing several times, his next court date is now December 2, 2013. At that hearing, Judge Bowman will rule on whether or not Hood will get a new trial. If the new trial request is denied, the judge will then hear statements from the mother and father of the abuse victim. And then Daniel Hood can expect to learn his sentence.— November 17, 2013 10:11 a.m.
Death at Libby Lake Park,
Prosecutor Cal Logan said defendant Bejaran confessed two separate counts of murder, and admitted the gang allegation. “He will get life without parole on December 11,” the prosecutor stated. “No parole ever.” Two co-defendants, Gibson and Hamilton, each admitted two counts of voluntary manslaughter plus gang allegations, according to prosecutor Logan. “Each will get 20 years.” Sentencing for Gibson and Hamilton is set for early next year, on January 14, 2014. The confessions and plea deals were announced in San Diego County Superior Court on November 8, 2013. The families of the two children that were shot to death are expected to attend both sentencings and will have opportunity to speak to the court. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/n…— November 9, 2013 7:12 a.m.
