Jeanine Pirro vows for justice in emotional exchange with parents of slain Capitol Hill intern Eric Tarpinian-Jachym as teenage suspects face murder charges.
U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro had an emotional conversation on « The Story » with the parents of 21-year-old Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, a Capitol Hill intern shot and killed in Washington D.C., in June on ‘The Story.’
« Judge Pirro, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. And if I ever meet you, I want to give you a big hug », Eric’s father, Robert, said.
Pirro emphasized that her fight for justice for their son is not over.
« My heart goes out to you », Pirro said. « The fight’s not over yet. We’ve got a prosecution, and we’ve got a long time of connecting going forward to get you justice. And we will get you justice. »
Pirro underlined that Tamara and Robert’s heartbreaking loss reflects a deeper crime problem in the city.
« These are innocent families who were torn apart because of these lax laws that allow these kids with guns in D.C. », Pirro said.
Two 17-year-old suspects have been arrested and charged in Tarpinian-Jachym’s death, both of whom have « violent histories », authorities said.
