Wading into a legally tangled vehicular man- slaughter case, a sharply di- vided high court on Thurs- day effectively reinstated the felony conviction of a man accused in a 2007 San Francisco Bay Area crash that left an 8-year- old girl dead and her sister and mother injured. Richard Tom was sen- tenced to seven years in prison for manslaughter af- ter authorities said he was speeding and slammed into another vehicle at a Red- wood City intersection. Prosecutors repeatedly told jurors during the trial that Tom's failure to ask about the victims imme- diately after the crash but before police read him his so-called Miranda rights showed his guilt. Legal analysts said the ruling could affect future cases, allowing prosecu- tors to exploit a suspect's refusal to talk before invok- ing 5th Amendment rights against self-incrimination. "It's a bad and question- able decision," said Dennis Fischer, a longtime crimi- nal appellate lawyer. Tom's attorney Marc Zil- versmit said he is deciding whether to petition the U.S. SupremeCourttotakeupthe issueorrenewhisarguments in the state court of appeal. "It's a very dangerous ruling," Zilversmit said. "If you say anything to the police, that can be used against you. Now, if you don't say anything before you are warned of your rights, that too can be used against you." The state Supreme Court in a 4-3 ruling said Tom needed to explicitly assert his right to remain silent — before he was read his Mi- randarights—forthesilence to be inadmissible in court. Tom has been freed on $300,000 bail pending his appeal. Tom was arrested after his Mercedes sedan plowed into a car driven by Lor- raine Wong, who was turn- ing left onto a busy street. Prosecutors argue that Tom's car was speeding at 67 mph in a 35 mph zone when the collision oc- curred. He was placed in the back of a police cruiser but was not officially ar- rested and advised of his rights until later in the day. Prosecutors said Tom's failure to ask about the Wong family while de- tained showed his guilt. Justice Goodwin Liu dis- sented. "The court today holds, against common sense ex- pectations, that remaining silent after being placed under arrest is not enough to exercise one's right to re- main silent," Liu wrote. The ACLU filed a friend of the court brief support- ing Tom's appeal. Fischer and others say the ruling might not be the last word on the issue. The high court ordered the court of appeal to re- consider the case, meaning it could return to the Cali- fornia Supreme Court. CALIFORNIA Court:Silencecanbeusedagainstsuspects By Keith Ridler The Associated Press BOISE, IDAHO Unmanned drones flying over wildfires could lead to firefighter in- juries and force retardant bombers to be called off, wildfire managers say. At least three drones have flown within or near restricted airspace in- tended for wildfire fighting aircraft so far this year, the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise announced Friday. That's up from one incident last year. "We're seeing an increase in people wanting to film from a distance with hobby aircraft," said spokesman Mike Ferris, noting wild- fires are often buzzing with low-flying planes and heli- copters. "If you had one of these would you fly it near an airport?" In June, a drone was spotted at the Two Bulls Fire near Bend in central Oregon. Drones have also been spotted at a fire in Washington state that de- stroyed hundreds of homes, and another that went aloft at a Northern California wildfire. "Anytime that that hap- pens, folks working these fires are going to feel com- promised and they're not going to want to fly until they're sure the airspace is safe to fly in," said Aitor Bidaburu, chair of the Na- tional Multi-Agency Coor- dinating Group at the cen- ter. "We have enough haz- ards on the ground." Managers said tankers trying to make drops to pro- tect firefighters or homes might have to turn away if a drone is in the area. The Federal Aviation Ad- ministration allows hobby- ists to use model aircraft or small drones as long as they keep them away from air- ports, fly them under 400 feet and keep the aircraft within sight of the remote- controlling operator at all times. However, wildfires typi- cally have temporary flight restrictions that extend up and out from the fire so he- licopters and retardant air- craft can do drops without worrying about other air- craft. The restrictions in- clude small drones. "If they're going to be fly- ing these things, they need to educate themselves," Fer- ris said. Those seeking to fly drones near wildfires might be able to do so legally, but they would first need per- mission from wildfire man- agers. The center said indi- viduals using drones that interfere with firefighting efforts could face civil pen- alties and criminal prose- cution. Center spokesman Randy Eardley said some state agencies fly drones over fires to find hotspots, but the operators are commu- nicating with wildfire man- agers. "The problem with these hobbyists and recreation- ists is we have no communi- cation with them," he said.
