"Justice is not being served," said her mother Sandra Sharlman. "They have way too much evidence. This happened before all [the texting scandal] came out and they come out all of a sudden like that. It's a cop-out. The system is failing us. It's failing us."
Assistant District Attorney Annie Esposito said more than half of the officers that worked on the case are under investigation themselves in the texting scandal. "As much as we want to at this time, we can't proceed because we don't have confidence in the prosecution of the case," said Esposito. "We feel the integrity has been compromised."
Ashton Montalvo and Deangelo Laraye Boone, who were 32 and 39 at the time, faced arson and mutilation charges in the death of 25-year-old Mykaella Sharlman.
