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.
