In the Case of Joseph DeAngelo, Justice Has Not Been Served
My victim impact statement in the Golden State Killer case: he is a hallmark of white privilege.
This is a copy of my written statement. You can watch the whole thing here via the local news’ Facebook page. My part begins at roughly 21 minutes. Inside scoop, I did two things at the beginning, spoke to the judge about lawyers to help me relax and transition. And then, what you may not know, is we caught DeAngelo bitching to his lawyers as court ended on Weds. Apparently he was tired of looking at the “same six spots” to avoid eye contact with us. He was pissed because his peripheral vision kept spotting us! So I had to play with that. I mean…I couldn’t resist. I wanted him to know, we knew. We heard. We laughed.
Good afternoon Your Honor. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to address the court.
