No prison time for San Francisco woman charged in father’s dismemberment
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 10/20/2020 | Megan Cassidy

A woman charged with murdering her father in a shocking dismemberment case will not serve any time in prison after she struck a plea deal with San Francisco prosecutors and pleaded guilty to desecration of human remains.

Stephanie Ching, 36, of San Francisco also pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact in the death of 73-year-old Benedict Ching, whose severed head and body parts were found last year in the refrigerator of his Ingleside home. She received a suspended sentence of three years in prison and a one-year jail sentence. She has been in jail for 17 months and was credited with time served so she will go free, according to the family.

Stephanie Ching’s husband, Douglas Lomas, 45, pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter in the case and was sentenced to six years in prison.

The couple made headlines last year when they were captured with the help of Homeland Security agents when they fled San Francisco and caught a flight to China. They were extradited back to the U.S. to face murder and conspiracy charges after investigators discovered a gruesome scene at the home of her father. Besides the body parts, police found a circular saw in his bathtub and “unknown biological matter” in the toilet.

But that case would soon prove untenable, after the San Francisco Medical Examiner’s Office was unable to find a definitive cause of death — in part because the body was dismembered.”

(snip)...prosecutors could not provide the required intent for murder, “despite the shocking actions of the defendants subsequent to Mr. Ching’s death.”

I guess 'hacked to death' was too obvious.

Crikey, the Chinese will eat anything they can subdue long enough to cram in their mouth, even their own parents.

Agatha Christie had a similar idea in “The Murder on the Orient Express” and of course so did the Senators who assassinated Caesar. Which wound was the fatal one? No one knows.

The city’s previous DA, George Gascon, has made his way to Los Angeles where he decided not to apply special circumstances enhancement to the monster couple who tortured their little boy to death. On his first day on the job, he eliminated cash bail.

That’s the DA who was raised by Bill Ayers because his terrorist parents were in prison. But thankfully he’s on the lookout for people wearing MAGA hats that he can put away for 20 years.

In Hong Kong a few years ago we saw a waiter bring a snake to a table near us. I couldn’t see well but my friend told me that it looked as if he killed the snake right there.

Yeah, his Weather Underground parents linked up with Black Liberation Army in that ‘81 Brinks robbery resulting in the death of two police officers & an armed security guard.

Murderers in SF? (What murderers?)

Hey I know what to do. I heard there is a house for rent next to the AG’s house in San Fran. Let’s house her there.
