Woman Wants County Taken Off Murder Case
A Ventura County murder case could be handed over to state prosecutors before the end of the month as a result of allegations that local authorities acted illegally and unethically.
Bridget Callahan, a 31-year-old Ventura woman accused of helping two skinhead gang members kill a teenage girl, filed a motion last week to recuse the district attorney’s office from the case.
Callahan accuses prosecutors of promising her immunity and then indicting her for murder after she revealed details of the killing.
Prosecutors maintain there was no misconduct.
