From the archives: A rather unusual perspective of Mt Shasta, from someplace in Lassen Natl Park. Back in the early 80s.

Good evening after a long day in Shasta County-- where a judge followed through today on his plan to dismiss felony charges against PG&E for starting the 2020 .

If the case had been allowed to go before a jury, prosecutors say PG&E would have been found guilty of 4 manslaughter felonies: "That's sad that that was taken away from us and taken away from the family members."

"This resolution... it does not make me happy," Bridgett says.

She wanted to take PG&E to trial, but it wasn't possible in her judgement.

Bridgett says PG&E would have been found guilty if the case was allowed to go before a jury. She says Judge Flynn's plan to toss the case out is the reason that won't happen.

DA Bridgett says she talked to the families, to direct some of this money toward causes that honor the memories of the 4 people killed.

Some $ will go to scholarships, an animal evac center, the Igo-Ono school... which will make a new play structure in memory of 8-year-old Feyla.

There's also "Feyla's fund" to assist families recovering from disasters.

The deal has PG&E paying $50M, also enforcement/oversight provisions, Bridgett says.

Added weather stations, undergrounding, removal of abandoned lines are all part of the agreement, DA Bridgett says.

Also changes to tree inspection practices, requiring more process/sign-offs to de-list trees (not cut) that are marked as known hazards.

She praised Judge Boeckman, who bound PG&E over for trial after a preliminary hearing.... and says she disagrees with Judge Flynn who announced his intent to toss the charges.

Bridgett says she's not willing to gamble with the outcome, hence the civil settlement-- which she says will provide tangible changes now.

DA Bridgett is up. "PG&E's failure to remove a hazard tree that they had marked for removal... fell and caused the devastating ."

She names the 4 people killed.

"PG&E needs to change its practices to save lives... it was my desire to criminally convict PG&E to accomplish this goal."

"It's just almost like rubber stamping now," survivor Kyle Drake tells me at a protest outside of court.

"Eventually the last straw will come around. I don't know what town's gonna get destroyed that's finally the last straw. Maybe somewhere on the coast. Los Gatos. Maybe then someone would pay attention."

Judge Flynn is getting testy with the property owners' attorney, who just made a filing. The judge is reviewing it now.

The attorney, Tyler Lalaguna, has said his clients have not been given property treatment by the DA under the victims bill of rights.
