DA: Doctor who drove family over cliff needs to be held accountable

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:34:17 GMT

(KRON) -- What was going through Dharmesh Patel's mind when he, according to investigators, intentionally drove his entire family over a San Mateo County cliff and crashed their Tesla into the rocky beach below? A search warrant affidavit was unsealed this month revealing what Patel told emergency responders who airlifted the family of four to trauma centers on January 2. District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe said it was an "absolute miracle" that Patel, his wife, and their two young children survived a 300-foot plunge from the cliff at Devil's Slide.Patel’s defense attorney told a judge that Patel’s wife no longer wants him to face any charges. Prosecutors said it's not uncommon for domestic violence victims to become uncooperative. Wagstaffe said, in about 80 percent of domestic violence cases, the victim will recant their statements and not want the case to move forward. "It's part of the cycle of violence. This is a domestic violence case. I hope she realizes that there is a duty t...

In a Gift to Polluting Industries, Supreme Court Rolls Back Clean Water Act Protections

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 17:34:17 GMT

The vast majority of wetlands in the United States — more than 100 million acres — are no longer protected by the Clean Water Act, the Supreme Court ruled yesterday in Sackett v. EPA. Wetlands are critically important to clean drinking water and flood mitigation; they’re also effective at sequestering carbon and a boon to drought resilience, storing water during dry periods. But in a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court brushed off peer-reviewed science and plain old common sense that you can’t protect the water downstream, which even the majority agreed is covered by the law, if you’re polluting it upstream.The case was filed by a wealthy Idaho couple, Michael and Chantell Sackett, who were annoyed that they were required to get a special permit from the Environmental Protection Agency to build on their land because of its proximity to Priest Lake. The Sacketts’ land contains wetlands, but because the wetlands are separated from the lake by a road, they argued the permit was unnecessary. It...
