D’ Sant Angelo Prosecution Hits Snag
When Is a Victim Not a Victim?
January 5, 2010
Spectators in a Santa Barbara Superior Courtroom yesterday were stunned when a woman named as a victim in a financial elderly abuse case stood up and told the judge, “I am not a victim.”
The District Attorney’s office is charging that Denise d’ Sant Angelo stole money from Cecilia “Sally” Sanchez and her Montecito barber husband Bobby—financial elder abuse—but Cecilia leapt up from her seat among spectators to deny it. Both women have not only been friends in the past but apparently still are.
D’Sant Angelo is in custody in lieu of $70,000 bail. Cecilia Sanchez has refused to discuss her I’m-not-a-victim position with Cota. Judge Anderson asked her to get together with Cota before Thursday’s hearing to explain.
