SAN DIEGO (AP) The father of a slain San Diego-area girl expects a board that considers compensation for California crime victims to reject his claim that authorities are responsible for his daughter's death.
The claim filed last week with the California Victim Compensation and Government Claims Board says 17-year-old Chelsea King would be alive today if authorities acted on repeated parole violations by John Gardner, her confessed killer.
Brent King, whose daughter was killed in February, said Thursday that he filed the claim to meet a six-month deadline. King says he is undecided whether he would sue the state or agree to mediation if his claim is denied.
The board last month rejected a similar claim by parents of another girl killed by Gardner.
