The Retrial of Cameron Brown

Palos Verdes, CA


I spent the morning revisiting the spot where Cameron Brown was accused of throwing his baby daughter off the cliff 9 years ago.  I was the 911 call that day, since I was on the beach below where she landed. As a result, Im playing a small part in the retrial (the first one ended as a hung jury a few years ago).  You can read all about it here

Its an odd thing to be a part of.  Wandering around Inspiration Point (which is, ironically, what the cliff is called) with detectives and the district attorney, leaves you with alot to think about. As Im listening to the 911 call from almost 10 years ago, looking down at the beach where she landed, my mind is filled with the possibilities of what really went on that day, and saddened to think about the slim chance that justice will ever really be served - whatever that is.

I distinctly remember the night you told us about what happened that day, sitting around the table in a random sushi restaurant. You were visibly upset and I felt so much that I wanted to fix this for you, to make it better, as if that was possible. Dealing with my own horror and shock. I'm terribly sorry that you have to relive this again.

I pray this jury gets it right. I have never forgotten that 911 call and how long it was. RIP Lauren.
