The 'Glendora Two' are safe
While we are not out of the woods yet, there is a lawsuit, we're getting close to the end of saga of the' two campaign sign teens.'
"This case basically involves two opposing factions involved in a local election," Booth wrote. "The complaining witness/victim was one of the incumbents. The suspects were all backing an opposition slate" about says it all.
- So what do we know?
A mother paid her daughter and friend to put stickers on signs of her husband's political opponents.
One of those opponents decided to have them arrested.
Instead of a citation, police actually arrest the girls.
Mother calls everyone, including us, to put a tale of abuse of power in the paper on the air.
That succeeds. (eventually)
City has a sign ordinance that is used to charge the girls, but the law is ambigous, possibly unconstitutional, and never really abided by. Except in this case.
DA declines to file charges.
Police refile charges.
Teens file lawsuit.
DA again declines to file lawsuit.
- Have I missed anything? I think the only one coming out of this looking good is the DA's office.
