Senator Carole Migden, parents Linda and Tim Schaller, and attorneys Andrew C. Schwartz and Dennis Riordan all spoke at today's press conference concerning the consequences of the action and inaction of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
You know the story. It could have turned out a lot worse, of course. Hard-working Julian Guthrie has the latest news of this case, so please read about it here.

Obviously, the Schaller family has a strong interest in ensuring that the serious errors committed by employees of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation aren't repeated. So kudos to them on all their work to bring attention to this issue.
Also, it appears that Andrew Schwartz and legendary Dennis Riordan might appreciate a call from a representative of the CDCR. Or maybe somebody from the office of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger could help start a dialogue?
State of California, the ball is in your court.
Linda Schaller updates the media on the slow progress of her daughter's physical rehabilitation.
We all wish Loren the best and hope she is able to eventually make a 100% complete recovery.
