The parents of a 17-year-old girl they say was coerced into prostitution knew that her pimp was in San Francisco but chose to take the law into their own hands rather than call police, a prosecutor said Friday.
New evidence in the case in which the girl's mother, father and two other men are charged with murdering 22-year-old Calvin Sneed of Compton shows that the June 4 shooting was more a revenge slaying than an effort to protect a young girl, said District Attorney George Gascón.
"I think when you look at the level of premeditation that went on, the planning that took place, the fact that other people were brought into this event, I think the evidence overwhelmingly supports the argument that this was not just a crime of passion," Gascón said. "This was really a conspiracy to commit murder."
Defense attorneys claim the girl's father, Barry Gilton, 38, and mother, Lupe Mercado, 37, vainly tried everything in their power to get authorities to end Sneed's exploitation of their daughter in Southern California earlier this year.

Yes, it can be read a few different ways.
The byline is, of course, from the Chronicle's editor, and the Chronicle being a MSM fishwrap to the left of Stalin's era Pravda, has chosen it to prejudice the public against the parents of the 17 year old girl.
There isn't a degenerate that they don't cherish in Sodom by the Sea.
Think of the headline: Parents accused of killing gangland pimp holding 17 year old daughter.
(pssst.....byline, not headline)
