San Diego County District Attorney and DA Summer Stephan

Mié junio 17th

San Diego County District Attorney
San Diego County District Attorney DA Summer Stephan said today that the parents who starved to death their 3-month-old daughter and who were convicted of second-degree murder by separate juries at a trial in February, have been sentenced to prison.Brandon Copeland and Elizabeth Ucman each were sentenced to 15 years to life in prison. “Baby Delilah entered this world healthy and full of promise and within three months she died of starvation at the hands of her parents,” DA Stephan said. “Cases that involve parents who harm their babies are haunting and our specialized child abuse prosecutor Franciesca Balerio fought to be the voice for this defenseless baby and to bring a measure of justice and dignity where none existed in her short life. Her parents chose to withhold the care every infant deserves, and because of that, baby Delilah never had the chance to grow or thrive. It’s time the defendants have the time to fully reckon with the consequences of their actions.”Copeland, 25, and Ucman, 26, were arrested in November 2021 after police responded to their City Heights apartment following a report that their infant was unresponsive and in need of medical attention. Baby Delilah was transported to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead, and her parents were taken into custody shortly afterward.The parents, who were 21 and 22 at the time of Delilah’s death, were tried in February in a single proceeding before two separate juries, with each panel responsible for determining the guilt of one defendant.During the trial, Deputy District Attorney Franciesca Balerio told jurors that Delilah weighed only 3.64 pounds at the time of her death, less than half her healthy birth weight. With no underlying medical conditions, the evidence showed her death resulted solely from prolonged starvation and neglect. Starvation is slow, visible, and impossible to overlook. Delilah’s decline unfolded in plain sight, yet the defendants sought no help, provided inadequate nutrition, and failed to obtain medical care. EN ESPAÑOL: https://danewscenter.com/?p=10317 ...

A man who brutally stabbed an MTS bus driver in A A man who brutally stabbed an MTS bus driver  in August 2024 nearly a dozen times as passengers looked on, has been sentenced to prison. 

Mario Felix, 51, who pleaded guilty to attempted murder in March, has been sentenced to 26 years in prison. 

“No one should fear for their life as they are performing their job, especially while they are in service to others as the victim was in this case by providing transportation to commuters,” District Attorney @SummerStephan  said. “Unfortunately, attacks on bus drivers and other transportation workers have increased. As District Attorney, I want these valuable workers to know that they deserve safety and dignity and attacks against them will be taken very seriously. I want to commend the victim for his courage in persisting in the pursuit of justice alongside our team despite all of the severe injuries from this vicious attack and the emotional trauma that this caused.” 

In August 2024, the MTS bus driver was making a stop at the Escondido Sprinter Station when Felix boarded the bus and asked for a free ride. When the driver told Felix that he must pay, he became enraged and demanded the driver’s wallet and threatened to kill him before unleashing a series of ferocious stabs, severely injuring the victim. 

Witnesses followed Felix and he was later arrested by police hiding behind a dumpster and the bloody knife was found nearby. 

Deputy DA Keith Watanabe and Deputy DA Miranda Tomaneng prosecuted this case with care and dedication. The DA victims services team provided support to the victim all along the way. 

The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office remains committed to holding violent offenders accountable and protecting those who serve our communities every day.

In honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and P In honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (#AANHPI) Heritage Month, which is observed throughout the month of May, we are featuring stories of DA employees, what inspired them to pursue a career in public service and their contributions at the DA’s Office.

Meet Deputy District Attorney Jack Yeh, who has been with the DA’s Office since 2018, and is currently the misdemeanor team leader in the South Bay Branch.

Read more about what inspired him to pursue a career at the DA’s Office, below.

Why did you choose a career in public service/what inspired you to pursue this career?
“I’m an immigrant from Taiwan. My mother and my grandparents were all public servants for the Taiwanese government. When I arrived in Texas in 1998, I saw that members of the Chinese American community generally regarded law enforcement with fear and apprehension. As I grew older, I saw that this fear often led to an under-utilization of public services and under-reporting of crime within the Chinese American community. One of the many reasons I chose this career is to show, through representation, that the criminal justice system belongs to everyone in the community.”

What does AANHPI Month mean to you/why is it important?
“Asian American history runs deep in California, but it’s also important to celebrate the impact that AANHPI have had on the arc of the broader American history. Some of the earliest non-native settlements in continental North America were established by Filipino sailors brought to Louisiana on Spanish ships. After the founding of the United States, the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and the Gentlemen’s Agreement of 1907 reversed demographic trends on the West Coast and indirectly led to the landmark United States Supreme Court case of U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark (1898) 169 U.S. 649, which established birth-right citizenship for all under the 14th Amendment, regardless of ethnicity. AANHPI Heritage Month is a celebration of the accomplishments and impact AANHPI have had on our home.”

In honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and P In honor of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (#AANHPI) Heritage Month, which is observed throughout the month of May, we are featuring stories of DA employees, what inspired them to pursue a career in public service and their contributions at the DA’s Office.

Meet Deputy District Attorney Min Yoon, who has been with the DA’s Office since 2012, when she was a summer intern, and she officially joined as a Deputy District Attorney in 2015 at our North County Branch. Most recently, she served in the DUI Homicide Unit, and has now transitioned into a new role within the Family Protection Unit.

Read more about what inspired her to pursue a career at the DA’s Office, below.

Why did you choose a career in public service/what inspired you to pursue this career?
“I was drawn to public service by a desire to advocate for victims. When I was an intern, I had the chance to observe a young girl testifying about her traumatizing experience. Seeing how she handled the testimony and her resilience afterward was a life-changing moment for me. That moment made me realize that I want to dedicate my career to serving our community and making a meaningful impact on people’s lives during their most vulnerable moments.”

What does AANHPI Month mean to you/why is it important?
“As an AANHPI prosecutor, this month is a reminder of how important representation is in our field. It’s about community building, celebrating our shared culture, and opening doors for the next generation. This is a major reason why I serve as a board member for NAPIPA (National Asian Pacific Islander Prosecutors Association), to help ensure our voices are heard and to support the attorneys coming up after us. “

A fun fact about you or what do you enjoy doing in your free time?
“These days, my weekends are usually spent cheering for my two kids as they just started to get into youth sports. I love being there to support them as they try out new activities. When we are not at the fields, I really enjoy spending quality time with my family, hosting friends for home karaoke nights, or planning out elaborate dinner party menus.”
