SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A convicted sex offender's potential release from a state hospital and subsequent placement in Jacumba Hot Springs drew a substantial crowd to a downtown San Diego courtroom Friday, which included the inmate's victims and others opposing his placement in eastern San Diego County.Alan Earl James, 56, was convicted in 1981 and 1986 of numerous sex- related felonies involving several minor victims -- which included James' younger relatives-- and sentenced to 28 years in state prison.James, who is classified as a "sexually violent predator," was committed to Coalinga State Hospital, where he was undergoing treatment "for an indeterminate term," until he petitioned for a monitored conditional release last summer, prosecutors said.The California Department of State Hospitals have proposed to place James at 45612 Old Highway 80 in Jacumba Hot Springs, a property under the jurisdiction of the San Diego County Sheriff's Department staffed by sheriff's deputies that previously housed sexually violent predators.San Diego County Superior Court Judge Albert Harutunian -- who recommended James' integration into the conditional release program last fall based upon the evaluation of psychiatric experts -- said he understood the public's opposition to James' release, but said citizens would be better suited directing their concerns towards the legislature, which determines sentencing guidelines and penalties for offenders.Nonetheless, several speakers that included James' relatives victimized as children, spoke of their fears that James would re-offend, even if released to a supervised facility.Robert N., who now lives on the East Coast, said he flew 3,000 miles to make his voice heard regarding James' release. He said James held a butterknife to his neck and threatened to kill him if he told anyone about the abuse, which happened to him and his siblings more than 30 years ago."My biggest fear is that this time, he'll end up killing a kid," he said. "I understand that he's going to be monitored and all that, but eventually, there's going to come to a point where someone's going to turn their head or something and not be paying attention and that's where he's going to end up striking."Robert N.'s sister, who went by L.N. while speaking to the court, said James assaulted her when she was four years old, and urged Harutunian to have James placed in a facility apart from communities where children and families live."I feel he will re-offend given the opportunity," she said.Following his conviction and release for abuse committed against her and her siblings, L.N. said James assaulted another girl and was convicted again."I understand he has to be released. However, he just does not need to be in the community of San Diego. I no longer live in San Diego. However, I still have family here, family that are children, as well as adults, and will all be impacted by this. I just fear that he will hurt another child and I don't want that to ever happen again."County Supervisor Dianne Jacob, whose district includes Jacumba Hot Springs, said the rural communities of eastern San Diego County have experienced "an over-concentration" of sexually violent predator placements and have become "easy pickins" for the placement of sex offenders.According to Jacob, nine sexually violent predators have been placed in Jacumba Hot Springs, Campo and Boulevard."There are not the resources, there are not the services out there (in the East County) in order to support the ongoing treatment of sexually violent predators, yet the state has chosen to place nine of these in these communities anyway, and I believe it's wrong and enough is enough," Jacob said.Harutunian said he wanted to take time to consider the options for placement and would render a written decision on the matter at a later time.Mary Taylor, a victim of sexually violent predator Alvin Ray Quarles, also known as the "Bolder-Than-Most" rapist, said she felt the decision to release James without notifying his victims should be considered a violation of the California Victims' Bill of Rights, otherwise known as Marsy's Law.State law only requires victims be notified when hearings regarding placement are held, not for proceedings considering a potential conditional release.Quarles recently was recommended for placement into a conditional release program at a facility in Jacumba Hot Springs, but the decision to release him will be reconsidered during an evidentiary hearing tentatively slated to begin in May. 4529

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — A jury on Monday recommended the death penalty for a Southern California man convicted of killing a family of four with a sledgehammer and burying their bodies in shallow desert graves.Jurors in San Bernardino made the recommendation for Charles "Chase" Merritt, 62, in a case that puzzled investigators for years after a couple and their two young sons vanished from their home in 2010. Their bodies were found three years later.Merritt supported his head on his fists and closed his eyes as the verdicts were read. He also spoke briefly to his attorney.He was convicted this month of the murders of his former business associate Joseph McStay, McStay's wife Summer, and their 4- and 3-year-old sons, Gianni and Joseph Jr.Merritt had pleaded not guilty and his lawyers didn't offer witnesses during the penalty phase of his trial, insisting he is innocent.San Bernardino County Superior Court Judge Michael A. Smith set a Sept. 27 hearing to formally sentence Merritt. He thanked the jurors after the verdicts were read, saying he knew the decision was "extremely difficult."Authorities said they believed Merritt killed the family as McStay was cutting him out of his business making and selling custom water fountains. When the family disappeared, there were no signs of forced entry at their San Diego County home and their car was found parked at a strip mall near the Mexico border.For years, no one could figure out what happened to them. In 2013, their bodies were found in shallow graves in the desert after an off-road motorcyclist discovered skeletal remains in the area. Authorities also unearthed a rusty sledgehammer that they said was used to kill the family.Merritt was arrested the following year. Authorities said they traced his cellphone to the area of the desert graves in the days after the family disappeared and to a call seeking to close McStay's online bookkeeping account. Merritt also had referred to McStay in the past tense during an interview with investigators.Authorities concede the case against Merritt largely focused on circumstantial evidence and that questions remain about what happened at the McStay home.During the trial's penalty phase, prosecutor Britt Imes asked jurors to consider any possible motive for the killing of two young boys, whether they could have been witnesses to the murder of their parents or simply victims of callous killings."There is no motive that can be ascribed to the killer of a 4-year-old and a 3-year-old that passes muster," he said.Merritt's attorneys didn't call any witnesses during the penalty phase, instead appealing to any lingering doubts jurors may have had about killings they say their client didn't commit."From the very beginning, this case screamed doubt," defense attorney Raj Maline told jurors. "This case is filled with unanswered questions."California has not executed anyone since 2006. Voters approved a ballot measure to speed up executions in 2016, but Gov. Gavin Newsom this year placed a moratorium on executions while he's in office. 3072

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A statue of former California Gov. Pete Wilson has been removed from a San Diego park after critics said the governor supported laws and policies that hurt immigrants and LGBTQ community members. The 13-year-old statue near Horton Plaza Park was removed by Horton Walk, the nonprofit that owns it. Earlier this week, Latino and gay rights groups held a news conference in front of the life-sized bronze sculpture calling for its removal. Sean Walsh, Wilson’s law partner and former chief of staff, said the statue was a recognition of the governor’s 50 years of public service. 602
