Reinsch: District attorney said there was not enough evidence
Continued from Page 1A
Police must have proba-
ble cause and a search war-
rant before entering a home to
check for underage drinking
unless given permission by the
occupant.
In August, Reinsch was
charged with two counts of
furnishing alcohol to a per-
son under 21, with one of the
counts involving a different
teen. He pleaded no contest to
the misdemeanor charges last
week and was found guilty.
District Attorney Josh Mar-
quis said there was not enough
evidence to legally prove that
Reinsch giving Secord alco-
hol caused his death. If the
case did go to trial, the defense
was prepared to call witnesses
that would have testified that
Reinsch was out of state the
night of the accident.
Additionally, investigators
found that other people besides
Reinsch likely gave Secord
alcohol, and the exact circum-
stances of the accident are not
fully known.
“As the court knows, my
office is considered amongst
the most aggressive in the state,
and even our office doesn’t
make that leap,” Marquis said.
Christina Secord, Trevor
Secord’s mother, said she was
disappointed with the plea deal.
She asked Circuit Court Judge
Cindee Matyas to reject it and
sentence Reinsch “to the fullest
extent of the law.”
The maximum sentence
would be one year in jail for
each charge. She also called
the $1,000 fine that Reinsch
must pay the Secord family
“laughable.”
“I hear people say that, ‘No
one forced him to drink it,’ and
to that I agree. However, at 15
years old, he was not able to
purchase the Everclear on his
own, and as an adult, (Reinsch)
should have known better,”
Secord said in a statement read
in court Tuesday.
“It needs to be shown that
you cannot just provide to the
delinquency of a minor that
ends up dying because of it
and get a slap on the wrist and
move on with your life.”
Reinsch was convicted of
first-degree burglary in 2015.
He was sentenced to 40 days in
jail and five years of probation.
He faces roughly four years in

prison if he is found in viola-
tion of probation.
In the most recent plea deal,
the district attorney’s office
agreed not to pursue a proba-
tion violation, which Secord
called “ridiculous.”
“Mr. Reinsch resolved this
pending matter, I think, spe-
cifically because he had a high
amount of liability hanging
over him in his 2015 convic-
tion. If he were to be convicted
at a trial, the state would no
doubt file a probation violation,
and ultimately he didn’t want
to take that risk,” said Macon
Benoit, Reinsch’s court-ap-
pointed attorney.
Changing the law
Before issuing the sentence,
Matyas said she does not have
the “luxury” of knowing all
the evidence of a criminal case
when it does not go to trial.
Instead, lawyers on both sides
discuss the evidence and decide
Sea lions: ‘This bill is a 5-cent solution to a $10 problem’
Continued from Page 1A
The bill, which passed by
a vote of 288-116, eases pro-
tections on sea lions in place
under the Marine Mam-
mal Protection Act of 1972.
Through these conservation
efforts, populations of Califor-
nia sea lions have rebounded
to nearly 300,000.
Now, many of them are
moving beyond the mouth of
the Columbia River and are
gorging on salmon farther
upstream at Bonneville Dam
and Willamette Falls.
“This is what cuddly sea
lions do to our iconic salmon
in the Columbia River,” said
Schrader, standing beside a
large photo of several salmon
that had been slashed to
pieces.
Schrader said the legisla-
tion would streamline the pro-
cess to euthanize sea lions,
something he said is currently
a laborious and bureaucratic
process. The bill would allow
‘We’re not anti-sea lion.
We’re just for protecting our native
fish, a Pacific Northwest icon.’
Jaime Herrera Beutler
days later.
According to the bill, the
percentage of spring salmon
eaten or killed by sea lions
at the Bonneville Dam alone
has increased sevenfold since
2002. And in Oregon, the Wil-
lamette River steelhead runs
are facing a 90 percent chance
of extinction due to predation.
“We’re not anti-sea lion.
We’re just for protecting our
native fish, a Pacific North-
west icon,” Herrera Beut-
ler said. “In order to do that,
we’ve got to make it easier
to remove some of the most
egregious offenders, these
problematic pinnipeds.”
The bill has rankled some
Democrats and animal-rights
advocates, who believe sea
lions are scapegoats for big-
ger issues. They point to other
threats to salmon the bill
would not address, including
climate change, hydropower
dams and fish hatcheries.
“The killing of sea lions is
not a silver bullet for a salmon
recovery,” said U.S. Rep. Raúl
Grijalva, an Arizona Dem-
ocrat who spoke in opposi-
tion of the proposal. “This bill
is a 5-cent solution to a $10
problem.”
A companion bill to lethally
remove sea lions, introduced
by U.S. Sens. Jim Risch,
R-Idaho, and Maria Cantwell,
D-Wash., is also working its
way through the U.S. Senate.
that lied and didn’t even have
the decency to say you are
sorry and you never meant for
everyone to be harmed,” Sec-
ord said.
‘On and on’
Throughout the sentencing
hearing, members of the Sec-
ord family repeatedly shook
their heads. McKune brought
a photo album of her grand-
son that she had hoped to show
Matyas during a statement. Her
daughter was the only family
member allowed to speak in
court.
“He sat down with those
kids and he bought kids this
alcohol, and it just goes on and
on and on,” McKune said. “I
feel that they’re setting a prec-
edent for every other adult that
provides.”
McKune said more severe
punishment should be avail-
able for those who commit sim-
ilar crimes that result in some-
one’s death.
“We’re just stuck with try-
ing to hold Trevor’s ashes
and that’s all we have,” McK-
une said. “It’s sickening to me,
and I think the system does not
work.”
Grant: Coalition
is trying to see if it
can be reinstated

federal agencies to issue kill
permits to wildlife manag-
ers and Northwest tribes. The
orders would be limited to no
more than 100 California and
Steller sea lions.
Both Oregon and Wash-
ington state have been using
non-lethal methods to try
and deter salmon predation.
Tribal members use fire-
cracker explosions to haze the
animals away from the Bon-
neville Dam. At Willamette
Falls, Oregon Department
of Fish and Wildlife officials
also trucked sea lions hun-
dreds of miles away to an area
on the Oregon Coast. Those
efforts ended up being futile,
as the sea lions returned five
on a plea deal.
“It’s very difficult to say
‘Well, that’s not good enough,’
or ‘That’s not severe enough,’
or ‘That’s too harsh,’” Matyas
said. “The system would col-
lapse if we didn’t trust in that
process.”
Matyas suggested that the
state Legislature look into
changing laws surround-
ing how one criminal act may
prove causation of another.
“You certainly have every
right to feel outrage that such a
thing could happen to a young
life,” Matyas said. “Nothing I
can do could change that.”
The district attorney’s office
typically only allows victim
impact statements in homicide
or sexual abuse cases. But it
made an exception Tuesday.
“I realize how torturous this
is for the family and even for
the community,” Marquis said.
“The law doesn’t have a crim-
inal sanction for every wrong
ever committed.”
Reinsch did not offer a state-
ment when asked by Matyas.
“Instead of having compas-
sion and empathy for your part
in the whole thing, you have
lied, said that we are the ones
“We don’t have anything
right now,” Hesse said of los-
ing the money.
The coalition is trying
to reach the federal govern-
ment to see if the grant can
be reinstated with a new fis-
cal agent, Hesse said.
Debbie Morrow, the
director of Healthy Kids
and chairwoman of the War-
renton-Hammond
School
Board, said the loss of the
grant is disappointing.
“It is always disappoint-
ing when something like this
happens, especially when
you have worked for over
seven years to get the grant,”
Morrow said in a text. “But
as you can imagine, a fed-
eral … grant is very specific
not only from the compli-
ance reports but to the com-
munity engagement and
involvement.”
Healthy Kids had hired
Carly Castaneda as a coor-
dinator of partnerships, well-
ness campaigns, training and
education. Castaneda previ-
ously worked as youth coor-
dinator for WellSpring Com-
munity Network, a wellness
group on the Long Beach
Peninsula also funded in part
by a federal Drug-Free Com-
munities grant.
Castaneda left Healthy
Kids in September and has
since returned to WellSpring
in a similar role coordinat-
ing the implementation of its
federal grant. She declined
to comment on her departure
from Healthy Kids.
