Murderer of disability advocate Mary Shojai released under California compassionate law

Credited from: LATIMES

  • Paul Carl Tomasini, convicted of murdering disability rights advocate Mary Shojai in 2012, has been released under California's compassionate release law.
  • The law allows inmates with terminal illnesses to be granted early release if they are deemed non-threats to public safety, impacting cases like Tomasini's.
  • Judge John Thompson expressed reluctance over the decision, citing the horrific nature of the crime but was bound by law to grant the release.
  • Tomasini's release has sparked activism from Mina Moynehan, Shojai's daughter, who is advocating against such reforms after experiencing the trauma of her mother's murder.
  • The case highlights the ongoing debate over California's criminal justice reforms, especially the balance between compassion and public safety.
