First: When the one robber punched her in the face that constituted robbery by force or fear - a felony. BOTH robbers should have been prosecuted as career felons. Now, since this happened in 2018, and the general statute of limitations for felonies is 3 years, they could BOTH still be prosecuted.

Second: The DAs office has a duty not to show bias. I would suggest someone file a complaint with the State Bar of California.

“Epilogue:
The two robbers had a long criminal history. Despite that, and despite the fact they stole product from the store, assaulted Sgt. Tara, and tried to run her over, were NEVER charged with a crime.
The two arresting officers were rookies that had only a few months each experience on the force. The Assistant DA who insisted on prosecuting Sgt. Tara for defending her life, was not a rookie.”

I hope the store was able to sue the people who choose to rob the store even if the Ass. DA did not think that robbing a store was not a crime worth prosecuting.

It’s a lawyer’s blog, drumming up business. Nothing wrong with that. But they use “Stand Your Ground” when they mean “Self Defense”. SYG has a specific legal meaning, and it is not a synonym for self defense. If a lawyer can’t comprehend that, I wouldn’t hire them.
