SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) -- The driver accused of killing a young family in San Francisco's West Portal neighborhood two years ago has changed her plea from not guilty to no contest. In exchange, the judge has indicated it will impose no jail time on the 80-year-old driver. The victim's family spoke w ith KRON4, saying they feel deeply disrespected. "The consequences that are being proposed for her actions are not a true match for the size of the tragedy," said Denise Olivera, who is the sister of deceased victim Diego Cardoso de Olivera. Heartbroken and frustrated, Denise opens up about life since her brother Diego and his family were killed in a horrific crash. In March 2024, while waiting at a bus stop in West Portal, Diego, his wife and two young children were struck and killed by a speeding driver. "I cannot comprehend to this day what happened, and we will live forever missing them," Denise said. The woman behind the wheel, 80-year-old Mary Fong Lau, faces four felony counts of vehicular manslaughter. On Friday, she changed her plea from not guilty to no contest. San Francisco Superior Court Judge Bruce Chan has indicated he is unlikely to impose jail time.A sentencing decision Denise feels is a slap in the face. "From what I understand, it will be two years probation of no driving," Chan said. "There's no jail time, no community service, no nothing. She doesn't even have to say she's guilty! So I have trouble thinking a person can kill four family members and walk away with zero consequences. At least she should be pleading guilty at a minimum." Diego's longtime friend and business partner, Caio Giannella, agrees with Denise.

Even more upsetting Giannela says, was Lau and her supporters' reactions on Friday when the plea deal was offered. "There was a sense of jubilation in there, and I could see her lawyer smiling, saying it's good news, and I don't think when we were discussing the death of four people we should say it's good news," Giannela said. Lau's attorney released a statement, saying, "These pleas were not the product of avoidance of denial but rather a conscious decision to acknowledge the harm caused and to face the consequences under the law". The victim's family attorney Jim Quadra calls the judge's decision an insult. "The notion that someone can kill four people relies on her age and her history to avoid real consequences and get a slap on the wrist for killing four people," Quadrea said. "This is enormously problematic as a precedent." At the very least, justice should never leave the victims feeling invisible. Formal sentencing is set for March 20. A civil case against Lau is likely to follow. ...read more read less
