California mom rips Newsom-backed 'diversion program' that appears to benefit her son's killer

"You know, our hunch is this was all happening during 'soft on crime,' 'let's clear the jails,'" Lyman said of California's laws.

"And the consequence now is us - with these drivers right back on our roads."

"I won't ever forget the day I sat in front of the DA. He said something about a 'diversion program.' And then we learned: Governor Newsom signed AB 3234 into law," Layman explained.

The law can apply to more than just traffic violations.

"And then the charge is dismissed. It is erased," Lyman said. "The driver that killed Connor has never lost her license. I've seen her driving," Lyman said.

Lyman noted that Kaur hasn't yet officially received a diversion ruling and will receive a final sentencing ruling next week.

Coupled with other Newsom-approved laws, Lyman said courts are specifically told to consider diversion ahead of possible jail sentences.

"The DMV cannot do its job of determining who poses a risk and who does not."

SB 953 advanced unanimously out of committee on Tuesday.
