The accident happened fast, the toddler’s parents said through sobs. His father, Byrol Zapata, was working on his 2005 Ford F-350 on Monday evening and was ready to back it out of their driveway. I put him inside and told him to stay inside, and he said, OK, Daddy.’ But I didn t realize when he came out again,” the father said in Spanish as he cried. “When the truck accident happened it was too late.”
The toddler’s 4-year-old sister saw the accident, their mother, Kelly Castillo, said.
Fairfax County police arrived at about 6:45 p.m. and found Zapata with serious injuries. First responders declared the child dead. An investigation is underway.
Following public reporting of those cases, the federal circuit court announced in July 2019 that Vasta was being mentored and had removed himself from an administrative role.
The Guardian has learned that, despite this, Vasta was the subject of yet another complaint roughly eight months later.
The complaint concerned his handling of a custody case in February 2020, during which he repeatedly interrupted and cut off a self-represented father, known by the pseudonym of Mr Yeates, who was in court for what he thought would be a first mention.
Appeal judgments show Vasta made âseveral exhortations ⦠to the husband not to lie to him, seemingly because âif you lie to me once I can never trust you againâ.â
