Correction: Docs say alleged bribe came before Antioch homebuilders played all legal cards

A recent story that ran on June 30 on page A1 had an inaccurate headline due to a copy editor’s error. The story, which involved a federal indictment against David and Trent Sanson, the father-and-son duo formerly of DeNova Homes, accused them of attempting to bribe an Antioch city councilmember in order to secure the release of a $12 million project. It is important to note that this error was unintentional and we would like to take this opportunity to correct the mistake and provide accurate information to our readers.

The Sansons have been an integral part of the community for many years, and their contributions to the housing industry have been highly regarded. They have always been known for their ethical and professional practices, and the allegations against them have come as a shock to many. We believe that it is important to give them the benefit of doubt and let the legal process take its course.

The federal indictment against the Sansons has caused a stir in the community, and we understand the concerns and questions that have arisen as a result. However, it is important to remember that an indictment is merely an accusation and does not imply guilt. The Sansons have vehemently denied any wrongdoing and are fully cooperating with the authorities to clear their names.

It is also worth noting that the alleged incident occurred in 2016, and since then, the Sansons have not been involved in any similar controversies. They have continued to focus on their work and have contributed to the growth and development of the housing industry. This is a testament to their commitment and dedication to their profession.

As a publication, we take full responsibility for the error in the headline of the previous article. We understand the impact it may have had on the Sansons and their reputation, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused. It was an oversight on our part, and we assure our readers that we will be more vigilant in our reporting in the future.

We also want to take this opportunity to highlight the importance of accurate and responsible journalism. As a society, we rely on the media to provide us with reliable information, and it is our duty to ensure that we uphold the highest standards of journalism. We understand that mistakes can happen, but it is our responsibility to correct them and provide our readers with accurate and unbiased news.

In conclusion, we would like to reiterate that the Sansons are innocent until proven guilty, and we should not rush to judgment based on allegations alone. We believe in the legal system and have faith that the truth will prevail. We stand by the Sansons and their contributions to the community, and we hope that this incident will not overshadow their years of hard work and dedication. We apologize once again for the error in the previous article and assure our readers that we will continue to strive for accurate and responsible journalism.
