The move comes weeks after a judge expressed deep concern over the plea deal, particularly given the defendant’s lack of remorse since the killings.
OAKLAND — Less than two months after lamenting “he had never seen a case pled down like this before,” an Alameda County Superior Court judge rejected a plea deal that would have imposed 15 years for a reputed West Oakland gang member accused of gunning down three people when he was 18 years old.
At an early February hearing, McCannon said he needed to hear that Logwood had matured and “changed his ways” before approving the deal. She noted in a pretrial motion that all of the charges — save one carjacking count — carried a potential life sentence, adding that jurors would be prejudiced if prosecutors tried Logwood for all three homicides at once. Logwood was charged with murder in the deaths of Eric Ford, 22, Zaire Washington, 24, and Richard Carter, 30, in separate Oakland shootings in 2008.
