Deborah King Trial: Son Of Victim Will Testify

Jurors in the trial of a Monterey woman charged with murder in the vehicular death of a Pacific Grove father will hear a first-person account of the accident from the victim’s 15-year-old son.
The prosecutor and defense attorney agreed to let Jacob Woods, who is mildly autistic, testify by videotape to spare him the pain of attending the trial of Deborah King.
The road to that trial has veered five times since 2008, as psychiatrists evaluated King’s competency to assist in her own defense. In 2009, she spent nine months in a state mental hospital before a final evaluation deemed her ready for trial.
The road to the trial has veered? Is that appropriate for the story of an alleged DUI careening into a father & child?

French Glass, May 2009


New Monterey is “the largest community in Monterey, and the most isolated,” said Howard Fosler, president of the New Monterey Neighborhood Association, as he opened a meeting Monday night at Hilltop Center to talk about issues facing the area.
The Presidio of Monterey sprawls between the old and new city, and with its gates closed since 2001 to public traffic, has increased the isolation of the neighborhood.
An increase in the student population will drive up rental costs in the area as military men and women seek off-base housing, Fosler said, and more students means more traffic.
