But even as the district attorney announced that the death of Crystallynn Girard was not a homicide and could not be prosecuted, her now 44-year-old mother, Lynn DeJac, insisted that a former boyfriend was responsible.
"It's not going to stay like this. My daughter was not a drug user ... My daughter was murdered. There's no question my daughter was murdered," she said, adding she has not yet considered whether to sue anyone over her conviction.
Great. So her daughter was either a druggie or was killed by being subjected to her mom’s extremely poor choice to date a murderous guy. Either way, she can now sue and get rich for being a horrible mother.
She was released from prison and her second-degree murder conviction overturned in November after newly analyzed DNA evidence placed DeJac's former boyfriend, Dennis Donahue, in the bedroom of her daughter around the time the girl died.
This kind of thing is much more likely to happen to your child if you are dating.
Donahue remains in custody awaiting trial in the strangulation of a woman in
1993 and has been described as a person of interest in a 1975 strangling. He
couldn't have been prosecuted in Crystallynn's case anyway because he had
immunity for testifying against DeJac in 1993.
Sounds like a great guy.
DeJac, meanwhile, said she was trying to put her life back together, including spending time with her teenage twin sons, who were born soon after she went to prison.
And who and where is the father of those kids?!?
When asked whether she felt at all responsible for Crystallynn's death she said: "I feel 100 percent guilty for leaving her home alone."
"Back then it was things you did, there were latchkey kids all over the place," she said. "I've paid in my own mind for doing that."
Yes, another impressive mom. This is why democrats are in favor of universal pre-school and all day kindergarten and gov't run day care. With so many stories like this, so many stupid desperate women sacrificing their own children to hold back loneliness or lustiness ... well, I can't blame the democrats for thinking the government might do a better job. Can we pass a law stating that if a woman has a child under the age of 18, she can't date? No. Even though it'd save innocent lives, mustn't infringe.
