A 42 year-old San Jose mother is being accused of being the getaway driver for her 14 year-old son and his 17 year-old friend while they stabbed another teenager. The Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office has charged her with attempted murder.

Prosecutors believe the teens were motivated to stab the other teen because he was in a rival gang. If the mother is convicted of gang enhancement, she could spend 19 years in prison.

According to the injured teen, a SUV driven by a woman followed him and then two teenage boys came out and stabbed him. He said he heard the woman tell them to leave and then drove away.

Eight Navy sailors discharged for assault, hazing

Posted on February 9th, 2012 No Comments

The Navy has discharged eight sailors after video of them choking another sailor on board a San Diego-based assault ship surfaced.

The sailors allegedly involved in the choking and assault were doing it as an initiation rite. All eight received general discharges following the captain’s proceedings. Although the discharge can be appealed, none of the accused have done so.

An investigation into the incident, which took place in early January, included testimony and statements from the sailors that were considered to be the equivalent to confessions. This hazing incident comes in the wake of criminal proceedings against three Marines accused of assaulting another Marine in Afghanistan for several hours, leading to his suicide.

If you have been charged with assault, contact the San Jose assault and battery defense attorneys of the Law Office of Daniel Jensen, P.C. at (408) 296-4100.

Mother pleads not guilty to vehicular homicide

Posted on February 2nd, 2012 No Comments

A Southern California mother plead not guilty to charges of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence earlier this week. Last April the woman was involved in a fatal car accident that killed a 23 year-old woman.

According to prosecutors, the woman was so distracted while driving on Interstate 405 that she failed to notice that traffic had stopped for several seconds. They claim she continued to drive at 80 mph, causing her to rear-end another vehicle, killing the driver.

The woman claims that it was simply an accident. So far the District Attorney has not been able to prove whether she was texting or doing something else on her phone when the crash occurred.

If you have been convicted of vehicular manslaughter, contact the San Jose vehicular manslaughter defense lawyers of the Law Office of Daniel Jensen today at 408-296-4100.
