Overview

  • Carla White, a former San Diego County probation department employee, was sentenced to one year in county jail and probation for aiding her son following a fatal shooting in 2023.
  • White pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact and unauthorized sharing of law enforcement information, including a restricted BOLO flyer identifying her son as a suspect.
  • Hunter White, 22, and Kristian Wolf, 24, face murder charges for the shooting death of Javier Medina near El Cajon in November 2023, with a preliminary hearing set for next month.
  • Prosecutors described White's actions as a severe breach of public trust, while Judge CJ Mody upheld a plea agreement limiting her sentence to one year despite learning of additional aggravating details.
  • The District Attorney’s Office requested that White’s probation supervision be handled by personnel outside her former department to avoid conflicts of interest.
