Justice for Mr. Manian – Coto the Caza Style Revisited.

As CotoBuzz readers know, we have been in contact with the Orange County DA to discuss the various irregularities in the community. One particular issue that we continue to work on is Justice for Mr. Manian, who was killed by a teen driver March 12, 2006 at the intersection of North Hampton Place and Lexington Way in Coto de Caza

A Coto girl was arrested, charged with vehicular manslaughter, felony hit and run and resisting and delaying or obstructing an officer. Under these conditions, the least we had expected was is to have the girl’s legal guardians face certain charges. What, with board sympathizers willing to blame Mr. Maninan “for violating the vehicle code..”, and giving the kid a pass!

In various conversations with Susan Kang Schroeder, Deputy District Attorney, she was always careful to tell us that by law, the DA is unable to discuss the case. So, we tracked down Deputy District Attorney Steve Mitchell of the Felony Projects Unit, who prosecuted the case. We got no information from him either.

We now know that the girl did not spend much time in jail and is attending summer school!

We have also been able to track down Mr. Manian’s next of kin, and expect to publish a brief biographical sketch, to keep his memory alive.

This friends, is Justice, Coto de Caza Style!
