NEW YORK — The mother of a young sheriff's deputy who was gunned down on duty is devastated that the district attorney isn't pursuing the death penalty.
"It just seems that the district attorney wants to spare a life, when [the suspect] didn't spare my son's life -- he executed my son," Kim Clinkunbroomer, the mother of slain Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer, told ABC News in an exclusive interview.
LA County District Attorney George Gascón repeated his opposition to the death penalty during a news conference last week alongside sheriff's officials and the Clinkunbroomer family. Kim Clinkunbroomer said that the press conference last week was when she learned prosecutors wouldn't be pursuing the death penalty.
And as for California Gov. Gavin Newsom's moratorium on the death penalty, Kim Clinkunbroomer said,"Things need to change."The LA County District Attorney's Office told ABC News in a statement Tuesday,"We have nothing but compassion for the family of Deputy Clinkunbroomer. They are experiencing an unthinkable loss. Nothing that can happen in the criminal justice system will ever repair the harm of losing someone so beloved.
As the case moves forward, the Clinkunbroomer family is trying to cope with their overwhelming grief.
