"content": "\u003cp>Just two days into his tenure as San Francisco's District Attorney, Chesa Boudin fired at least seven prosecuting attorneys. Boudin said the actions were necessary to carry out the progressive policies he campaigned on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had to make difficult staffing decisions [Friday] in order to put in place a management team that will help me accomplish the work I committed to do for San Francisco,\" Boudin said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not unusual for a newly elected district attorney to restructure the management team, said Lara Bazelon, a law professor at the University of San Francisco. The attorneys are at-will employees, which means they can be fired without reason.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bazelon was a member of Boudin’s policy team during his campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's common to fire people who are in management at the top level who are not going to be enthusiastic about the new agenda,\" Bazelon explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bazelon gave the example of Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, another progressive prosecutor who campaigned on criminal justice reform.\u003ca href=\"https://www.inquirer.com/philly/news/crime/larry-krasner-philly-da-firing-prosecutors-20180105.html-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Krasner fired 31 members of his staff\u003c/a> in 2018, three days after he was sworn in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='chesa-boudin' label='More Coverage']The attorneys, who were given the news at one-on-one meetings or over the phone with Boudin on Friday, are Kara Lacy, a felony trial lawyer, Ana Gonzalez, managing attorney in the office’s Gang Unit, Linda Allen and Todd Barrett, managing attorneys in the General Felonies Unit, Michael Swart, managing attorney of the office’s Homicide Unit and Tom Ostly, a trial attorney in the Crime Strategies Unit, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/New-SF-District-Attorney-fires-multiple-14966620.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to the San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED has learned a seventh attorney — Craig Menchin in the Writs and Appeals Unit — was also fired, according to a person directly familiar with the matter. The district attorney's office employs over 200 staff members, according to the department's \u003ca href=\"https://sfdistrictattorney.org/departments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To be fired in this way was devastating for me,\" said one of the attorneys who was let go. The attorney spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation from the Boudin administration, and that it could impact future job opportunities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's hard to guess Mr. Boudin's reasoning,\" the attorney said. \"I think the impact on morale is going to be devastating.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11793457/can-s-f-s-chesa-boudin-flip-the-script-for-progressive-das-across-the-country\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ran on an anti-incarceration platform\u003c/a> — including the creation of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.chesaboudin.com/wrongful_convictions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wrongful Conviction Unit\u003c/a> and an Innocence Commission — a vision that may have conflicted with the priorities of the fired attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the attorney who was fired said they were “absolutely willing” to follow Boudin's new policy directives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For someone who ran on a platform of second chances, I know I never got a first,\" the attorney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bazelon believes some of the attorneys who were fired had \"problematic\" histories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She mentioned the example of attorney Linda Allen, who convicted Jamal Truelove for a 2007 murder only to see the case overturned. In 2014, the California Court of Appeals \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Ex-reality-TV-show-contestant-acquitted-of-murder-6128811.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reversed Trulove's conviction\u003c/a> after finding fault with Allen's assertions in the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, San Francisco paid $13.1 million to Trulove after an Oakland jury \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11734209/san-francisco-to-pay-13-1-million-to-man-framed-by-police-for-murder\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">found that two police officers on the case fabricated evidence\u003c/a> and failed to disclose exculpatory material.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think [Allen] should have been let go years ago,\" Bazelon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Municipal Attorneys Association, the bargaining group that represents the seven fired attorneys, said in a statement that Boudin’s actions should be reversed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Rash decision-making such as this will not help build trust in an office that is already suffering from years of recruitment and retention problems,\" the statement said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the Chronicle, at least some of the fired attorneys plan on pursuing legal action. The attorney who spoke on the condition of anonymity declined to comment on whether they would do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story has been updated.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Among the top funding priorities is fighting the surging homeless crisis. The new budget earmarks 750 million dollars in funds to pay for rent and immediate housing assistance for homeless people at the local and state level. That’s in addition to an executive order Newsom signed Wednesday, allowing state land to be made available for emergency homeless shelters.Since taking office last year, the governor has also championed cutting health care costs and prescription drug prices.This year’s budget includes a proposal to create California’s own line of generic drugs by negotiating directly with drug makers. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marisa Lagos, politics and government correspondent, KQED\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>U.S.-Iran Conflict Takes a Toll on Iranian Americans\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Southern California is home to hundreds of thousands of people of Iranian descent, the largest concentration in the U.S. and outside of Iran. This past week has been particularly trying for them, beginning with the killing of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in an airstrike last Friday ordered by President Trump. Iran retaliated this week by firing more than a dozen missiles at two U.S. military bases in Iraq housing American troops. On Wednesday morning, President Trump addressed the nation about the attack, saying that no troops were injured and that a new round of economic sanctions would be imposed on Iran. While war with Iran seems unlikely – for now at least – tension abounds for Iranian Americans, dozens of whom in the past week were detained at airports and other ports of entry where border agents, in some instances, allegedly queried their political and religious beliefs. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Shokooh Miry, Iranian American psychologist and former board chair, National Iranian American Council\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dornaz Memarzia, Iranian American community member\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Dominant San Francisco 49ers Reach Playoffs\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tomorrow, the San Francisco 49ers hope to continue their push to the Super Bowl with a victory against the Minnesota Vikings.

Democrats want a deal on that upfront, while McConnell wants to sort the issue with additional votes after the first phase of the trial, including opening arguments and a period allowing written questions from senators to both the prosecution and the defense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats want to call four witnesses, including acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/01/06/793972905/bolton-says-he-would-testify-in-senate-impeachment-trial-if-subpoenaed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">former national security adviser John Bolton\u003c/a>.

Democrats say it is an unfair comparison because during the Clinton trial, the Senate was considering re-calling witnesses who had already testified before the House.

He has been unable to persuade any to break with the top Republican leader.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pressure on Pelosi began to grow from fellow Democrats soon after it became clear they would not be able to force McConnell to negotiate on the terms of a trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I respect the fact that she is concerned about the fact about whether or not there will be a fair trial.

Now, after a year of delay and litigation, the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office has released the first disciplinary record regarding a deputy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Nov. 24, 2016, Vacaville police arrested Deputy Christopher Spadaro for drunk driving after he sped away from officers and then abruptly pulled into a parking lot and shut off all his car lights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When questioned by a Contra Costa County Sheriff’s internal affairs investigator about whether he had been trying to evade police, Spadaro said, “I would never fathom doing such a thing to create, uh, you know, an issue for an officer,” according to a transcript of the interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spadaro told Vacaville police he had only had one beer, but he refused to take a breathalyzer test. A blood test confirmed his blood alcohol content was nearly twice the legal limit, records show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sheriff’s Office internal investigation found that Spadaro lied about his drinking during that encounter. Spadaro had also put paper license plates on his car in order to avoid paying the Benicia-Martinez Bridge toll during his commute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County Sheriff David Livingston first tried to fire Spadaro, but ultimately reduced his discipline to a six-month pay cut. It appears the deputy still works for the county. Spadaro did not respond to an email requesting comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Contra Costa County Public Defender Robin Lipetzky wrote in statement that her office is “investigating the impacts of Deputy Spadaro’s misconduct on recent and pending cases where he was a material witness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lipetzky said timely compliance with both SB 1421 and \u003ca href=\"https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/373/83/\">\u003ci>Brady v. Maryland\u003c/i>\u003c/a> “are necessary to ensure due process for everyone in our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff’s Office spokesman Jimmy Lee did not respond to questions about why it took a year to locate and produce the Spadaro file, nor would he clarify if his office has more disciplinary records to produce. Lee said in an email that his office intends to disclose all relevant SB 1421 records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our release of documents continues and we are committed to fulfilling all proper [SB] 1421 requests as quickly as possible,” Lee wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County Supervisor John Gioia, who is one of Livingston’s critics, said he believes the Contra Costa County Sheriff Deputies’ Association pressured Livingston to withhold the document.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The sheriff should follow the law in disclosing documents despite a contrary position by the Deputy Sheriff's Association,\" Gioia said. \"His job is to follow the law as a county officer.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DSA President Shawn Welch, in a phone interview Wednesday, denied asking that the document be withheld.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11786770,news_11792317,news_11789945\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/Police-Art_1.gif\" heroLink=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/police-records\" target=\"_blank\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I never took a stance,” Welch said. “It was delayed because [SB] 1421 is a brand new law” and there were questions about whether Spadaro’s case applies to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Welch’s union was one of the first police associations to file suit back in January 2019 to block the county from releasing past misconduct and use-of-force records unsealed by SB 1421. A number of First Amendment and media organizations including KQED joined that suit to argue for the disclosure of records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Contra Costa judge’s ruling in that case, which found that SB 1421 should apply retroactively, was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11732520/appeals-court-covering-bay-area-rules-in-favor-of-releasing-police-misconduct-shooting-records\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">upheld\u003c/a> by the First District Court of Appeal in San Francisco on March 12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, even after that ruling, Livingston refused to search for records, arguing that searching the “voluminous” internal affairs files constituted an “undue burden” on the department. He was one of the few law enforcement officials statewide to make this argument.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally in June, the sheriff said the search for records had been completed. Seven incidents had been identified in which deputies had used force causing death or serious injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then on Tuesday, the Sheriff’s Office released Spadaro’s disciplinary file without any explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It begs the question: why it took litigation for these records to be released? Why were they not promptly released a year ago?” said David Snyder, an attorney with the \u003ca href=\"https://firstamendmentcoalition.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">First Amendment Coalition\u003c/a>, which is involved in the Contra Costa litigation. “A year is not prompt. It makes one wonder if there are other records languishing in the sheriff's files that the public is entitled to see.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spadaro was convicted of a misdemeanor in 2017, and court records show it was his first criminal offense in Solano County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Spadaro was accused of sexual harassment in 2006 by a female deputy in the Sheriff’s Department. The county settled the suit in 2008 for an unknown amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Internal records released Tuesday by the Sheriff’s Office show Spadaro was also reprimanded in 2015. But the Sheriff’s Office said records related to that prior misconduct are not disclosable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee would not say if the sheriff has ongoing concerns about Spadaro’s fitness to be deputy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Thomas Peele of the Bay Area News Group contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11786993\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-160x155.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-160x155.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-800x777.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-1020x990.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1.png 1030w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\">\u003c/a>\u003cem>This story was produced by the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a>, a coalition of 40 news organizations across the state.

A number of First Amendment and media organizations including KQED joined that suit to argue for the disclosure of records.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Contra Costa judge’s ruling in that case, which found that SB 1421 should apply retroactively, was \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11732520/appeals-court-covering-bay-area-rules-in-favor-of-releasing-police-misconduct-shooting-records\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">upheld\u003c/a> by the First District Court of Appeal in San Francisco on March 12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, even after that ruling, Livingston refused to search for records, arguing that searching the “voluminous” internal affairs files constituted an “undue burden” on the department. He was one of the few law enforcement officials statewide to make this argument.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally in June, the sheriff said the search for records had been completed. Seven incidents had been identified in which deputies had used force causing death or serious injury.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then on Tuesday, the Sheriff’s Office released Spadaro’s disciplinary file without any explanation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It begs the question: why it took litigation for these records to be released? Why were they not promptly released a year ago?” said David Snyder, an attorney with the \u003ca href=\"https://firstamendmentcoalition.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">First Amendment Coalition\u003c/a>, which is involved in the Contra Costa litigation. “A year is not prompt. It makes one wonder if there are other records languishing in the sheriff's files that the public is entitled to see.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spadaro was convicted of a misdemeanor in 2017, and court records show it was his first criminal offense in Solano County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Spadaro was accused of sexual harassment in 2006 by a female deputy in the Sheriff’s Department. The county settled the suit in 2008 for an unknown amount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Internal records released Tuesday by the Sheriff’s Office show Spadaro was also reprimanded in 2015. But the Sheriff’s Office said records related to that prior misconduct are not disclosable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lee would not say if the sheriff has ongoing concerns about Spadaro’s fitness to be deputy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Thomas Peele of the Bay Area News Group contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">\u003cimg class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11786993\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-160x155.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"160\" height=\"155\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-160x155.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-800x777.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1-1020x990.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/crp-alt-logo-1.png 1030w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px\">\u003c/a>\u003cem>This story was produced by the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a>, a coalition of 40 news organizations across the state.
