SAN DIEGO (AP) — Combat veterans from the Navy and Marines were among possible jurors Monday in the trial of a decorated Navy SEAL charged with killing an Islamic State prisoner in his care in Iraq.All but one of the potential jurors in the court-martial of Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher had served in a combat zone and all but two were veterans of conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq.The trial of Gallagher follows months of turmoil in one of the Navy's most prominent war crimes cases.The lead prosecutor was removed from the case earlier this month for tracking the defense team's emails and President Donald Trump has suggested he may pardon Gallagher.Gallagher has pleaded not guilty to premeditated murder in the killing of the prisoner in his care and attempted murder in the shootings of two civilians in Iraq in 2017. Gallagher says disgruntled platoon mates fabricated the allegations because they didn't like his tough leadership.The seven Marines and five sailors were seated in the jury box, given copies of the charges and asked a series of questions about the case.Each said they thought it possible that Navy SEALs could lie and that they could turn in a comrade on false allegations.They also said they could convict someone in the killing of a member of the Islamic State and in the case where no body was recovered. The prisoner's corpse was never found.If Gallagher is convicted, the panelists said they would consider post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury at sentencing, if relevant, along with his military record.Five said they had personally faced the enemy and five had experience with detainees. Eight had lost friends or shipmates in combat.Defense lawyers unsuccessfully sought to have a Navy judge dismiss the case because they say investigators and prosecutors withheld evidence that could help Gallagher and violated his rights to a fair trial by embedding tracking software in emails sent to them.The judge, Capt. Aaron Rugh, refused to dismiss the case, but took steps to make sure Gallagher gets a fair trial and remedy violations of his constitutional right against illegal searches and the right to counsel.Rugh released Gallagher from custody, removed the lead prosecutor and reduced the maximum penalty he faces if convicted to life imprisonment with parole — instead of no chance of parole.Evidence at hearings last month showed an intelligence specialist from Naval Criminal Investigative Service conducted criminal background checks on three of Gallagher's civilian lawyers and a Navy Times journalist who has broken several stories based on documents that are only to be shared among lawyers in the case.Prosecutors downplayed the effort to find the source of news leaks, saying it only gathered data, such as internet protocol addresses, and did not snoop on the content of emails. The government said the investigation did not find who leaked the documents.Gallagher's family maintains he cannot get a fair trial."The court's ruling, recognizing a direct violation of Chief Gallagher's constitutional rights but not dismissing the case, sends a chilling message to every man and woman in uniform," his family said in a statement.The prosecution also tracked emails of the lawyers of Gallagher's commanding officer, Lt. Jacob Portier, who faces charges of conduct unbecoming an officer after being accused of conducting Gallagher's re-enlistment ceremony next to the Islamic State militant's corpse.The defense discovered the tracking code hidden in a suspicious logo of an American flag with a bald eagle perched on the scales of justice beneath the signature of lead prosecutor Cmdr. Christopher Czaplak.Rugh removed Czaplak from the case because he said the potential for an investigation into his actions could present a conflict. He said it was not within his power to determine whether Czaplak engaged in misconduct.The judge said the effort also harmed the public's perception of the military justice system, which has been criticized for being ineffective and has gained few war crime convictions.Republicans in Congress have lobbied for Gallagher, claiming he's an innocent war hero being unfairly prosecuted. Trump, who intervened to move Gallagher to less restrictive confinement in March, said last month he is considering a pardon for several American military members accused of war crimes. 4385

SAN DIEGO (KGTV)- A spokesperson for the County of San Diego said over two days, they have received approximately 580 complaints of businesses and entities not following the proper restrictions under the purple tier.The county has already sent out dozens of cease and desists orders since Monday. That includes at least two churches, Foothills Christian Church and Awaken Church, but the warnings are not stopping some churches from shutting down indoor operations.Since the pandemic began, Awaken Church has received two cease and desist letters. Once in July for its Balboa Campus, and the latest on Monday for the Carlsbad location, but it appears the church has no intentions of shutting down indoor services.A statement posted on the church’s website said in part, “In keeping our First Amendment right, we will continue to minister to those who are the most affected by all the COVID-19 lockdowns. Specifically tending to those who are struggling with depression, anxiety, hopelessness, suicidal thoughts, and addiction.”Bishop Arthur Hodges is a Senior Pastor at South Bay Pentecostal Church. As bishop, he oversees more than 100 churches in Southern California, including 25 in San Diego County.“About 50 percent are electing to remain indoors for worship,” he said. “About 30 percent are outdoors, and 20 percent are online only.”Hodges has taken the fight to stay open to the U.S. Supreme Court once, and it about to again, hoping a ruling could benefit all houses of worship nationwide.“We are filing either today or tomorrow back in the Supreme Court to reopen churches and for our constitutional guarantees to be recognized,” he said. “We are hopeful for an expeditious ruling, and we think it’ll be favorable to churches, and that’ll affect churches not only in California but across the nation.”A county spokesperson said if a cease and desist order is ignored, the next step would be a closure order. After that, law enforcement is asked to get involved by giving citations with a thousand dollar fine for each violation; then the case goes to either the San Diego District Attorney or City Attorney.In a video posted to the Awaken Church website in August, two church pastors explained why they believe religious services are essential, explaining the risks to their congregants’ mental health.It’s something we’ve heard from other religious leaders, like the lead pastor of Skyline Church, Dr. Jeremy McGarity.“We can’t stand by and not help people,” said McGarity. “We realized we can protect the most vulnerable and have services at the same time. We saw the huge rate of suicide ideation that went through the roof.”Hodges said he understands the pandemic is serious and can be deadly.“One of my daughters is a nurse at a local San Diego hospital and works with COVID patients, and I have two very near and dear personal friends who have died of COVID, so we know this is real, but we need to keep things in balance and perspective,” said Hodges.He urges every house of worship to take the necessary precautions but believes churches can stay open and stay safe at the same time.“We have zero cases, zero cases in our local church as a result of being on the church campus,” he said. “Churches are absolutely essential.”ABC 10News reached out to both Awaken Church and Foothills Christian Church for comment but have not yet heard back. 3366

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A coalition of regional partners joined together Thursday to announce the San Diego County Childcare Provider Grant Program, an initiative that will distribute million in coronavirus relief funding to childcare providers impacted by COVID-19.The coalition, which includes the County of San Diego, The San Diego Foundation, Child Development Associates and YMCA of San Diego County, will open the application period Monday. The San Diego County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to distribute million of Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act funding to eligible childcare providers in San Diego County."The childcare sector is very important, as our economy cannot be sustainable if parents do not have safe places for their children to be cared for and educated while they are working," said Supervisor Nathan Fletcher, co- chair of the county's COVID-19 subcommittee. "This new million grant program will help childcare providers make their centers safe during the coronavirus pandemic and allow them to remain open so parents can return to work."Funding will be allocated based on predetermined categories outlined in the CARES Act agreement. Large family childcare providers -- licensed to care for a maximum of 14 children -- will be eligible to receive up to ,500 and small family childcare providers -- licensed to care for a maximum of eight children -- will be eligible for up to ,750. Non-government-contracted licensed providers will be eligible to receive up to 5 per child capacity, based on childcare license.Partially-funded government-contracted licensed childcare centers such as HeadStart will be eligible to receive up to 5 per non-subsidized child, not to exceed license capacity. Non-government-contracted, license- exempt group care providers -- including summer day camps and community youth clubs such as Boys & Girls Clubs -- that serve school-age children up to 12 years old will be eligible to receive up to 0 per child capacity."This funding helps prioritize access to high-quality childcare for all families, helps provide a professional wage for hardworking providers, and helps strengthen the childcare system," said Baron Herdelin-Doherty, president & CEO of the YMCA of San Diego County.Eligible childcare providers will be able to apply for funding online or in print in eight different languages -- English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Russian, Somali, Haitian Creole and Arabic -- and the coalition will distribute the funds.Providers can visit SDFoundation.org/ChildcareGrants to learn more. Funding will support staffing, supplies, mortgage and rental assistance, business resilience and capital improvements for outdoor areas."We also have been focusing on equity for our most vulnerable children and families ensuring they are connected to available support services," said Alethea Arguilez, executive director of childhood health advocacy group First 5 San Diego. "This investment is very timely, as we know our providers have been operating with greater restrictions and mandates in order to maintain the health and safety of the children they serve. Ultimately, these funds will support our existing childcare system and in turn continue to nurture the healthy development of all our children."The Childcare Provider Grant Program builds upon the COVID-19 Community Response Fund, which was started to receive donations and make emergency grants to organizations supporting San Diegans impacted by the pandemic. To date, the COVID-19 Community Response Fund at The San Diego Foundation has distributed more than million to nonprofits on the frontlines of the crisis.The foundation will also provide an additional million in grants to support children and families, and access to quality, affordable childcare in the San Diego region over the next five years with at least million of that distributed in 2020. 3940

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A former La Jolla Country Day School teacher who had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old female student over the course of several months was sentenced Wednesday to probation and community service and was prohibited from teaching again in any capacity.Jonathan Sammartino, the 37-year-old son of U.S. District Judge Janis Sammartino, could have faced up to one year in local custody and sex offender registration following his guilty plea to a felony count of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor. He previously faced two other felony sex counts that could have had him facing prison time, but those counts were dismissed after he pleaded guilty in August.Deputy District Attorney Martin Doyle said the plea agreement was reached in part because the victim, identified only as "Jane Doe" in court proceedings, did not want the case to go to trial. She also declined to virtually attend Wednesday morning's sentencing hearing.Doyle said the victim was content that the case is resolved and has "changed and healed" since her interactions with Sammartino, which occurred in 2016."It's her wish to move on with her life," the prosecutor said.San Diego County Superior Court Judge Charles G. Rogers ordered the defendant to complete his 400 hours of community service at any nonprofit organization by next August.In declining to impose sex offender registration, Rogers cited a U.S. Supreme Court case that found registration was most suited for those considered dangerous and likely to re-offend.The judge said though Sammartino's conduct toward the victim could be considered predatory, due to their age difference and his abuse of a position of trust, "there is not an iota of evidence that this conduct was an expression of an underlying character trait on his part. I see no indication that this man is predatory or is likely to repeat this conduct with another person or is a danger to others."Rogers also cited a bicycling accident Sammartino suffered about a year prior to the offenses, which the defendant and his attorney say caused a brain injury that inhibited his impulse control and ability to make reasonable judgments. The judge said he didn't think the injury excused Sammartino, but said he believed it was a contributing factor to the offenses.Sammartino made a statement to the court, in which he said, "I am very sorry for everything that has happened and for the misery caused by my unfortunate involvement with Ms. Doe. I know that my behavior's disrupted her life, my own life, and the community."He said he was "not the same person" he was before the bicycling accident and was continuing to seek treatment for "my mental impairments that led to those behaviors."Sammartino said he would find another line of work in order to serve the community.Though his probation terms prohibit him from teaching, his attorney, Eugene Iredale, said Sammartino's doctoral degree precluded him from needing a teaching credential, which he would otherwise be required to surrender.Instead, Iredale said his client has pledged not to teach again, and cannot do so in any practical way, "because in the age of the internet, there is truly no ancient history.""As, of course, a condition of this plea agreement, and without hesitation, he has pledged that he will not seek to teach anywhere ... and that means anywhere at any level in any way, including private tutoring, including college instruction or community college," the defense attorney said.In testimony earlier this year at Sammartino's preliminary hearing, the victim said the first sexual encounter happened in early 2016, when he arrived at her home unannounced around midnight. She said she went outside to meet with him in his car, at which point he told her he didn't trust himself around her.Sexual encounters occurred that night in his car and on several other occasions in his vehicle and his house over the next few months, she testified.The victim, who went on to attend UC Berkeley, filed a report with campus police in the summer of 2018. Charges were filed later that year.In a recorded phone call played during the preliminary hearing, Sammartino admitted to the past encounters with the victim."Why did you do it? You knew I was 17," Doe says on the recording. "You knew I was your student. You knew it was my first time and I lost my virginity to you.""I don't have a good answer, because I wasn't thinking through what I was doing," he replied, apologizing to her several times throughout the call. "I can't believe that I did that." 4549

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A former executive for an Orange County genetics company pleaded guilty today to a federal conspiracy charge for paying kickbacks to physicians.Donald Joseph Matthews, 50, formerly the vice president of market development for Proove Biosciences, admitted in San Diego federal court to paying doctors at least .5 million to order the company's DNA tests for their patients, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.In total, the U.S. Attorney's Office said Proove billed around million to the Medicare program for the tests -- which the company alleged could determine a patient's risk of drug addiction -- and received around million in reimbursements.Prosecutors said the company claimed the payments were compensation for participation in a clinical research program, but the money was actually "directly tied to the volume of tests that a doctor ordered and whether a doctor continued to order more tests from Proove over time.''In his plea agreement, Matthews admitted that without the financial compensation, ``most doctors were not interested in ordering Proove's tests for their patients.''Doctors who complained about not being paid were told to order more tests, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.The company's Irvine headquarters was raided by federal authorities in 2017.``Our nation's healthcare system cannot tolerate kickbacks to physicians while criminals line their pockets with taxpayer-funded healthcare dollars, particularly in light of our nation's current struggles with the COVID- 19 pandemic,'' said Acting Special Agent in Charge Omer Meisel of the FBI's San Diego Division.Matthews is scheduled to be sentenced Oct. 26. He faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a 0,000 fine, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office. 1798
