Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price is facing severe backlash and a possible recall from residents who think she is inept in prosecuting violent crime cases. The California judge joins a handful of district attorneys across the United States who have been blasted for their soft-on-crime approach.
She has also angered both residents and the judicial community with her actions toward criminal cases. In late March, Price offered a plea deal of 15 years in jail to Delonzo Logwood, who was accused of killing three people in a murder-for-hire scheme. Three men, Trevor Green, Johnny Jackson, and Ivory Bivens, have been charged with Wu's murder, and they are expected to appear back in court at the end of April.
Additionally, a memo was obtained by ABC 7 News's I-Team detailing Price's plan to eliminate sentence enhancements for violent crimes, which could upgrade the sentence for a felony if a gun was used or on the suspect's person during the time of the incident. The emails, addressed"to the Chinese communities," also indicated that there was a"need to root out racism in our criminal justice system, starting in [her] office.”
“This particular tragedy is being used by people with a political agenda to divide our diverse community. The kind of racist messages directed at me personally has been unprecedented," Price said in her message."Those who claim that race has affected the case are wrong. My mission is to root out racism in our criminal justice system.”
