New Progressive CA District Attorney Losing Deputies

Progressive Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price who, shortly after taking office, announced that she would require deputies to seek the shortest sentences possible for offenders, is beginning to lose her most experienced prosecutors.  Bailee Hill of Fox News reports that two of the offices most experienced deputies are quitting over concerns about Price’s radical policies.  Earlier this year Price negotiated a plea bargain to reduce the sentence of a triple-murderer Delonzo Logwood from 75-years-to-life down to 15 years.  Fortunately the judge rejected the plea deal, insisting that an Oakland jury determine his sentence.   As deputies leave the office, victim’s families are stepping up to demand that Price be replaced.  Brenda Grisham, whose teen-aged son was gunned down in 2010, told reporters she had talked with Price; “We had a couple of conversations, and so I know where she stands, and she knows where I stand, and I’m not backing down.”  Progressive billionaire George Soros help bankroll Price’s election.  Alameda County covers a large part of the East Bay including the cities of Berkeley, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Oakland, and Piedmont.
