The homeowner, Earl Decastro, who set up illegal fireworks, has not been charged despite investigators’ claims the display malfunctioned and ignited more fireworks near Jasmine. Her mother, who was also injured, refuses to pursue prosecution, believing it was an accident — and now faces the agony of the first anniversary and holidays, especially since living near Disneyland’s nightly fireworks stirs painful memories. Jasmine, remembered as a joyful, energetic child, was part of a dance group and her mother opened a boba shop for her — which she later closed after her death. The family finds comfort in old videos, hearing Jasmine’s voice, as they honor her memory. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
