Examiner Calls DeMaio’s Support for Women Into Question
Specifically, each was asked: "Do you support family court judges using GPS with Victim Notification devices in Family Court?" Representatives were told we would be checking responses over the weekend and publishing on Monday.
...
Responses to our query were as follows:
San Diego City Council Member Carl DeMaio: No response. DeMaio's re-released website focuses on pension reform and safe-from-fire, neighborhoods. The safety of women is not mentioned.
District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis: No response. No mention of the safety of women, her costly prosecution of Cynthia Sommers or the now dead, Diana Gonzalez. whose husband Dumanis "declined" to prosecute, then refused to explain. Also no mention of her defense of Deputy Lowell Bruce, who shot his wife in the face, killing her. Dumanis petitioned for another judge because she thought the Deputy's judge made a harsh comment about the deputy, a Los Colinas Women's Detention Center guard. Likewise there was no mention of her boycott of two other judges, as reported in the Voice of San Diego.
Congressman Bob Filner: Congressman Filner's office issued the following statement: "Congressman Filner is dedicated to ensuring the safety of women, children and families in San Diego. He looks forward to working with local law enforcement and San Diego courts to make sure that no stone is left unturned finding the best possible system to offer protection to our citizens that need it most. He would support the requirement of a GPS tracking system."
Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher: No response. Assemblyman Fletcher's representative indicated he was very busy. We advised his representative we had been calling Fletcher's office about this particular issue with family court since before the John Gardner trial. We noted on Sunday Assemblyman Fletcher participated in Flag Day. We noted his website stresses family values and problem solving. But Fletcher did not respond to our question of last week, or the past two years.
