The narrowing of voices with a direct line to Jenkins is a reflection of her schedule, BrookeJenkinsSF told The Examiner. “We want to make sure that people are being responded to in real time, that they’re not having to wait for my availability.'
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins is shrinking the number of staff who will report directly to her amid a reshuffling, which she says will result in experienced attorneys handling the most serious cases.
It also follows Jenkins' swift dismissal of more than a dozen attorneys after her appointment to replace ousted District Attorney Chesa Boudin in July. The change will alleviate the burden on the office’s general felonies unit, Jenkins said, which often has to put property crimes on its back-burner.The District Attorney’s Office will also establish a Vulnerable Victims Unit and a new Post-Conviction Review Unit.
“We wanted to make sure that for the resentencing portion of that work, it was being handled by a seasoned trial lawyer…who understands what exactly they are reading when they get a motion, what the issues are illegally, when the issues are from an evidentiary standpoint,” Jenkins said.
