Crime scene, autopsief photos now allowed in probation lists

A policy of the state probation committee that carried out the crime scene and autopsief photo from submission to probation lists was canceled after a petition of the district prosecutor of the San Diego district, the office said on Thursday.

The California Office for Administrative Rights, the changes to the regulation proposed by state authorities check and approved, granted the district prosecutor's application that the Californian hearing committee must hire the guidelines.

Officials from the History of the Board of Directors did not immediately answer a statement on the decision.

Previously, “graphic” photographs were not permitted, while the prosecutors argued that the photo submissions offered an important context for commissioners of the probation committee.

In the petition of the district prosecutor, certain cases of murder cases in San Diego County were cited, including the death of a police officer by San Diego and the killing of a 2-year-old boy from 1983. Both men were refused.

The prosecutors argued that the victim's autopsief photos had helped to determine the representative of the probation committee whether the accused was truthful and whether they had taken on an insight into their crimes during their prison sentence.

In a statement, the district prosecutor Summer Stephan described the decision “an enormous victory for justice, transparency and for every victim and family that deserves to hear their voices and the full truth of a crime in the event of probation decisions.”

“The board's attempt to extinguish the hard realities of violent crime from probation hearings was not only inappropriate – it was a bad service for public security and the rights of the victims,” ​​she said. “This decision ensures that the probation committees must be based on the full record – not on a sanitary version of events.”
