REDWOOD CITY
Plea deal for 3 teens in ghost-hunt case
- John Cote
Reclusive ghosts on the Peninsula can relax.
Three would-be ghost hunters in hot water with San Mateo County
prosecutors agreed Monday not to trespass when seeking out the
paranormal, one of their attorneys said.
It started as a teenage prank on Thanksgiving night -- a ghost search at
an old Pacifica elementary school, where a girl was rumored to have
died.
But the three 18-year-olds from Daly City and San Francisco found
themselves facing very real misdemeanor criminal charges, including
attempted burglary and vandalism, for their efforts to get inside the
boarded-up Fairmont School.
Facing the specter of up to 18 months in jail, Kenji Snow, Sharif Adam
and Burhan Husseini agreed Monday to a plea deal in which they admitted
to trespassing, an infraction on the level of a speeding ticket, defense
attorney Eric Liberman said.
Fairmont School was closed in 1999 after it was deemed seismically
unsafe.
