In this week's DA News Update, District Attorney @ In this week's DA News Update, District Attorney @SummerStephan was at the 39th Annual Law Enforcement Memorial and talks about the importance of the work our partner agencies do for our communities.
Today, District Attorney @summerstephan and the DA Today, District Attorney @summerstephan and the DA’s Chief Investigator Jorge Duran joined all the  San Diego County law enforcement agencies at the 39th Annual Law Enforcement Memorial ceremony to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. This year three names were added to the law enforcement memorial wall outside the @countyofsandiego office: Sheriff’s Deputy Herbert Sibert, SDPD Officer Austin Machitar, US Customs and Border Protection Air Interdiction Agent Jeffrey Kanas.
We will never forget their sacrifice.
At the end of the ceremony, all the local law enforcement chiefs took a group photo, as is customary every year.
The Lifer Hearing Unit at the District Attorney’ The Lifer Hearing Unit at the District Attorney’s Office handles parole hearings for some of the most dangerous criminals in the state by making sure they are not carelessly released from prison. Due to changes in the law, many of these inmates are up for parole sooner than expected, and the unit’s case load is increasing.

A 72-year-old man has been sentenced to prison for A 72-year-old man has been sentenced to prison for the gruesome murder and dismemberment of his wife in 2003, a case that remained unsolved for nearly two decades before it was cracked using Investigative Genetic Genealogy.

Jack Potter was sentenced today to 15 years-to-life in state prison for the 2003 murder of his wife, Laurie Diane Potter, whose legs were found discarded in a Rancho San Diego apartment complex dumpster over two decades ago. Thanks to the relentless efforts of the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and the District Attorney’s Cold Case Homicide Unit, the case was solved in 2021.

“This was a brutal, calculated murder that shattered the lives of Laurie’s loved ones, who then had to endure nearly 20 years of unanswered questions and unimaginable grief,” San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan said. “Thanks to the extraordinary work of law enforcement, our Cold Case Homicide Unit, and Deputy District Attorneys Julie Lynn and Mark Amador, justice has finally been served. Their dedication and refusal to give up on this case, no matter how much time passed, led to this long-overdue resolution.”

The homicide investigation began in October 2003, when a maintenance worker at the Country Hills Apartment complex in Rancho San Diego discovered a pair of severed human legs in a dumpster. Despite exhaustive efforts by law enforcement, the victim remained unidentified, and the case went cold. In 2020, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Homicide Cold Case Team used Investigative Genetic Genealogy based on DNA from the legs to possibly identify the victim.

This was the first time that investigators had used the new investigative technique to identify a previously unknown homicide victim. After further investigation, the woman was confirmed to be Laurie Diane Potter, 54, who had been living in Temecula in 2003 but had previously lived in the Rancho San Diego apartment complex.

💬 "The people spoke and now government must act 💬 "The people spoke and now government must act." 
— DA Summer Stephan

In a powerful opinion piece, San Diego County District Attorney Summer Stephan highlights the critical progress made since the passage of Proposition 36, the Homelessness, Drug Addiction and Theft Reduction Act. Passed by 68% of voters statewide, this law is already making a difference — bringing accountability to repeat retail theft, holding drug dealers responsible, and, most importantly, offering real pathways to recovery through incentivized treatment.

Since December, the San Diego County DA's Office has filed nearly 900 cases under Prop 36. Repeat offenders who once faced no real consequences are now being held accountable. But beyond enforcement, the county is leading the way in implementing a countywide treatment system, showing what it means to turn public will into real change.

San Diego is doing its part — now it's time for the state to step up and ensure this foundation is built to last.

In this week's DA News Update, District Attorney @ In this week's DA News Update, District Attorney @SummerStephan denounces the dismantling of an important Assembly Bill that aimed to protect children from human trafficking. #AB379
San Diego County District Attorney @SummerStephan San Diego County District Attorney @SummerStephan today strongly denounced the gutting of her sponsored human trafficking bill, #AB379, during a hearing of the Assembly Public Safety Committee on Tuesday. The bill, which aimed to make the buying a 16 or 17-year-old child for sex a felony offense in California, was stripped of that critical provision in committee, despite overwhelming public support and increasing bipartisan concern over the exploitation of minors.

“This is a betrayal of the most vulnerable children in our state,” DA Stephan said “For over a decade, I have fought to make sure that those who buy children for sex are held fully accountable under the law. Buying children who under the law cannot consent to sex, can only be described as slavery. By gutting AB 379, the Assembly Public Safety Committee has sent a chilling message that the exploitation of children does not merit a serious penalty. Buying a 16-year-old for sex causes years of pain, disease and trauma, yet gets the same or less of a punishment in California than spray painting wall. This is not just a policy disagreement—it is an inhumane failure.”

The bill had garnered broad support from victim advocates, law enforcement, and community organizations, and was considered a key step forward in California’s ongoing fight against human trafficking. The bill’s author, Assemblymember Maggie Krell, has decades of experience fighting human trafficking and the bill relies on solid research that demonstrates that age 16 is the average age of recruitment of human trafficking victims in San Diego.

DA Stephan has been a leading voice in the fight against human trafficking in California and across the nation. She pioneered the first human trafficking Special Victims Unit in San Diego County. Her office has prosecuted numerous high-profile trafficking cases and has worked with survivors to advocate for stronger laws that recognize the true harm caused by those who fuel the demand for the exploitation of children. #EndHumanTrafficking

One Safe Place: The North County Family Justice Ce One Safe Place: The North County Family Justice Center @northcountyfjc  celebrated the graduation of 12 women from “Un Salto a la Confianza” (“Leap to Confidence”) which was the first time this program was offered in Spanish to provide more access to more individuals impacted by abuse and violence.. The graduation ceremony was held on Saturday April 26, at One Safe Place. The program was created by the non-profit organization Leap to Success, which is a partner at One Safe Place. Its mission is to empower women who are overcoming domestic violence, homelessness, and other major life challenges to reach their greatest potential by helping them re-build their self-confidence. It is a six-week program that consists of two-hour sessions each week. After the final session, the participants are invited to join empowerment circles for ongoing support.

“One of the pillars of justice in the mission of the DA’s Office, aside from the ethical prosecution of crime, is the prevention of crime and partnerships with the community – ‘Leap to Confidence’ is a great example of fulfilling this mission,” said District Attorney Summer Stephan. “I’m so proud of the 12 women that displayed courage and resilience by taking control over their lives within the supportive environment of One Safe Place: The North County Family Justice Center. Everyone deserves to live with safety and dignity and ‘Leap to Confidence’ helped them achieve that dream.”

Leap to Success began offering this no-cost empowerment program to women in 2008. Since that time, over 2,500 women have completed their programs, however, until now they have been solely in English. Through grant funding from the Office of Violence Against Women – Improving Criminal Justice, the curriculum was able to be translated and printed in Spanish, and allowed the program to take place on the weekends at One Safe Place.
