KERRY STEIGERWALT KUSI-TV APPEARANCE
SHEDS LIGHT ON CHELSEA KING MURDER CASE

SAN DIEGO: Prominent local defense attorney Kerry Steigerwalt provided legal perspective today in the high-profile case of a Riverside County man accused of murdering a Poway teen-age girl who disappeared while jogging in Rancho Bernardo.
Steigerwalt was interviewed by KUSI 9News Anchor/Reporter Ross Becker outside the San Diego County Hall of Justice, near where John Gardner III, a convicted sex offender from Lake Elsinore was arraigned on charges that could lead to the death penalty.
The interview was broadcast live on KUSI’s “Good Morning San Diego” show.
Gardner is accused of raping and murdering Chelsea King, a straight-A student and cross-country runner from Poway High School who never came home after going for a run Feb. 25 near Lake Hodges in Rancho Bernardo Community Park.
Steigerwalt explained the legal details of an arraignment, at which prosecutors file documents that contain their allegations of what crimes were committed.
Defendants usually either have appearances on their behalf by hired defense attorneys or have a public defender appointed to represent them.
Gardner was arrested three days later at a Lake Hodges restaurant. King’s body was found March 2 in a shallow grave in brushy area a few yards off the lake shoreline.
Steigerwalt told the television audience the fact that Gardner was arrested before the girl’s body was found indicates that police “had a theory supported by evidence for arresting him that Sunday.”
Steigerwalt, who has appeared as a commentator on high-profile cases on many local and national television shows, also was a nightly television commentator on the David Westerfield case in 2002.
In a trial that drew nationwide attention, Steigerwalt provided in-depth legal context for viewers who watched a case unfold in which Westerfield eventually was convicted and sentenced to death for kidnapping and murdering his seven-year-old neighbor, Danielle Van Dam.
Steigerwalt is the managing partner of Kerry Steigerwalt’s Pacific Law Center and has built his career through a string of high-profile cases, including death penalty cases, over two decades. He has become one of the region’s most sought-after defense lawyers and is a common contributor to local and national media, offering insight into legal cases through his decades of experience in the courtroom. He has appeared on such television shows as “48 Hours,” “Court TV,” “The O’Reilly Factor” and Fox News as well as numerous other media outlets.

Pacific Law Center has for many years been in the San Diego public’s mindset due to the large amount of visible advertising.

Advertising aggressively on the local TV news, phone book covers, mass transit buses, and on the Internet all plays a role in branding of a company.

Pacific Law Center a while back went through a merger with long time well known local attorney Kerry Steigerwalt, who has 100& ownership in the firm.

When researching Pacific Law Center on the internet, you may find many so called “hate sites” that purport all kinds of misleading and false statements.

Many of these false or misleading website pages were made by disgruntled former employees who were ousted after the merger took place, or people who for whatever reason felt like their case weren’t handled properly.

There are also some firms in San Diego who can’t afford the cost of advertising that Pacific Law Center enjoys. So to play off the Internet traffic – they set up web sites to target the key word search phrase “Pacific Law Center”, in hopes of gaining a few customers. In researching this topic it was found that some had even attached their law firm logo to a map showing Pacific Law Center.

Many law firms are upset that they don’t have the resources in place to offer what Pacific Law Firm offers – that is a free consultation. Many people in these troubled economic times seeking legal representation can’t afford some of the upfront fees charged by some firms.

When looking for any product or service on the Internet one must be careful of misleading or scam sites that seek to pull you away from what you really are searching for. This includes law firms as well. Not everything you read on the Internet is going to be true.

NEWS:

Pacific Law Center on new DUI laws in California.

SAN DIEGO, CA – Proposals by two San Francisco Bay Area legislators that would impose even harsher penalties against repeat drunken-driving offenders would be overkill, prominent local attorney Kerry Steigerwalt of Pacific Law Center told a television audience today.


In an interview broadcast on KNSD, Channel 7/39, Steigerwalt of Pacific Law Center said the criminal justice system and the state Department of Motor Vehicles already have measures in place to adequately punish repeat offenders.


Steigerwalt was interviewed by KNSD reporter Gene Cubbison in the fallout of a highly publicized case in Northern California in which a Burlingame man still had a valid driver’s license when he was charged with his ninth DUI offense recently.


State Senators Leland Yee and Jerry Hill told the San Mateo County Times that more laws are needed to automatically strip multiple offenders of their licenses.

Steigerwalt told Cubbison that California already has some of the strictest laws in the country against repeat offenders and that judges and the DMV already can strip a repeat offender of their license for from three years to life.
“There are adequate parameters in place within which to address the problem without getting into a 3-Strikes scenario,” said Steigerwalt.

Steigerwalt, who has over three decades of criminal defense experience in San Diego County ranging from drunken driving to death penalty cases, said any new laws would be, at best, duplicative.
“There would be constitutional challenges that would probably prevail,” he said. “Why should we spend this time imposing another law over one that already exists?”

If facing any type of legal charge the lawyers and attorneys at Pacific Law Center can help.
