It’s been a politically convenient coincidence for the Democrat who rose to prominence as an outspoken opponent of capital punishment, even as California voters repeatedly demonstrated support for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their most recent \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/proposition/proposition-62-and-66-death-penalty/\">affirmation\u003c/a> came this November. Voters rejected Proposition 62, which would have abolished capital punishment, and passed Proposition 66, which seeks to expedite death penalty appeals. The outcome means California may resume executions during Brown’s final two years as governor, potentially challenging the legacy of the former Jesuit seminarian who was once so morally opposed to capital punishment that he protested outside the gates of death row.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not certain that executions will resume; death penalty opponents have filed a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Suit-filed-to-block-death-penalty-measure-Prop-66-10605400.php\">lawsuit trying to block Proposition 66\u003c/a> and a \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-execution-suit-20161115-story.html\">separate challenge of a law\u003c/a> that gives corrections officials broad authority to establish execution procedures.

The single-drug plan introduced \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-me-pol-ca-execution-protocol-20151105-story.html\">last year\u003c/a>, like many proposed state regulations, doesn’t go into effect until after a public review period.

But we’ll certainly make the argument that there’s been far too much delay and courts shouldn’t delay any further.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If courts allow Proposition 66 to proceed — more action on the suit is expected after election results are certified in mid-December —execution dates would be established after district attorneys seek death warrants from the trial courts. Eighteen of the 748 \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/Capital_Punishment/docs/CondemnedInmateListSecure.pdf?pdf=Condemned-Inmates\">death row inmates\u003c/a> have exhausted all their appeals, making them likely to be executed soonest.

Locations of crime are approximations. (Map: Matt Levin)\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nDespite his activism against the death penalty as a young man, Brown never weighed in publicly on the November initiatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think he just felt he would be compelled to do whatever the voters decide and therefore did not enter into the fray,” said Cruz Reynoso, a former California Supreme Court justice and death penalty opponent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reynoso — one of three Brown appointees tossed off the Supreme Court in a 1986 campaign that targeted them for overturning death sentences — said if executions are scheduled before 2018, he wouldn’t expect Brown to block them. “Jerry Brown, like yours truly, may have a moral position,” he said, “but as a public official will enforce the law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor’s staff declined to answer questions about potential executions. But Brown \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Trailblazer-Biography-Jerry-Chuck-McFadden/dp/0520275632\">biographer Chuck McFadden\u003c/a> said if executions did resume in his final term, “he wouldn’t like it, not one bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s an open question whether he would say anything publicly decrying the execution. … But he would certainly be unhappy about it, even though he’s a far different person today than he was in 1960.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that year Brown famously \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article107782622.html\">lobbied his father\u003c/a>, then-Gov. Pat Brown, to stay the execution of a convicted rapist. Seven years later, the younger Brown stood vigil outside of San Quentin as a cop-killer was put to death inside the prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Governors have broad authority under state law to block executions. The elder Brown spared 23 death row inmates by commuting their sentences but allowed 36 to be executed. In his biography “Public Justice, Private Mercy: A Governor's Education on Death Row,” Pat Brown described the difficulty of being “the last stop on the road to the gas chamber.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was an awesome, ultimate power over the lives of others that no person or government should have, or crave,” wrote Pat Brown, who contended that his qualms about it helped Ronald Reagan unseat him in 1966.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After 1967, legal challenges put the death penalty on hold in California for \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/Capital_Punishment/history_of_capital_punishment.html\">25 years\u003c/a>. Because Jerry Brown’s first two terms as governor (from 1975-1983) came during this hiatus, he avoided the clemency decisions that had racked his father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Executions in California\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>[CAExecutions]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a young governor, Jerry Brown took other actions reflecting his objection to capital punishment—and met resistance. In 1977 he vetoed a bill to reinstate it after courts had abolished it, only to see the Legislature overrule his veto. In 1978, voters re-elected Brown even as they approved an initiative creating the death penalty law still on the books today. Brown appointed justices opposed to executions, only to see voters refuse to retain them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time the state resumed executions in 1992, Brown was running for president—and touting his “uncompromising” opposition to capital punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When someone is contained in a cage, then to bureaucratically, cold-bloodedly snuff out their life, whether by poison or electrocution or by gas, it doesn’t seem right to me,” Brown \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ltl9vAxAfuU\">said\u003c/a> that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2007 he became California’s attorney general, a position that required him to defend hundreds of death penalty convictions even as the state stopped executions due to lawsuits over lethal injection. It took nearly a decade to produce a new \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-me-pol-ca-execution-protocol-20151105-story.html\">lethal injection plan\u003c/a>, a slow process some blamed on Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campaigning for governor in 2010, he said he would prefer a society “where we didn’t have to use death as a punishment,” but recognized his opinion had been overruled by lawmakers and voters. \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J5gcbib2hw\">He promised\u003c/a> to carry out the death penalty “with compassion but…with great fidelity to the rule of law.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

It’s been a politically convenient coincidence for the Democrat who rose to prominence as an outspoken opponent of capital punishment, even as California voters repeatedly demonstrated support for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their most recent \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/proposition/proposition-62-and-66-death-penalty/\">affirmation\u003c/a> came this November. Voters rejected Proposition 62, which would have abolished capital punishment, and passed Proposition 66, which seeks to expedite death penalty appeals. The outcome means California may resume executions during Brown’s final two years as governor, potentially challenging the legacy of the former Jesuit seminarian who was once so morally opposed to capital punishment that he protested outside the gates of death row.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s not certain that executions will resume; death penalty opponents have filed a \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/politics/article/Suit-filed-to-block-death-penalty-measure-Prop-66-10605400.php\">lawsuit trying to block Proposition 66\u003c/a> and a \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-execution-suit-20161115-story.html\">separate challenge of a law\u003c/a> that gives corrections officials broad authority to establish execution procedures.

Locations of crime are approximations. (Map: Matt Levin)\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nDespite his activism against the death penalty as a young man, Brown never weighed in publicly on the November initiatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think he just felt he would be compelled to do whatever the voters decide and therefore did not enter into the fray,” said Cruz Reynoso, a former California Supreme Court justice and death penalty opponent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reynoso — one of three Brown appointees tossed off the Supreme Court in a 1986 campaign that targeted them for overturning death sentences — said if executions are scheduled before 2018, he wouldn’t expect Brown to block them. “Jerry Brown, like yours truly, may have a moral position,” he said, “but as a public official will enforce the law.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor’s staff declined to answer questions about potential executions. But Brown \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Trailblazer-Biography-Jerry-Chuck-McFadden/dp/0520275632\">biographer Chuck McFadden\u003c/a> said if executions did resume in his final term, “he wouldn’t like it, not one bit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s an open question whether he would say anything publicly decrying the execution. … But he would certainly be unhappy about it, even though he’s a far different person today than he was in 1960.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In that year Brown famously \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article107782622.html\">lobbied his father\u003c/a>, then-Gov. Pat Brown, to stay the execution of a convicted rapist. Seven years later, the younger Brown stood vigil outside of San Quentin as a cop-killer was put to death inside the prison.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Governors have broad authority under state law to block executions. The elder Brown spared 23 death row inmates by commuting their sentences but allowed 36 to be executed. In his biography “Public Justice, Private Mercy: A Governor's Education on Death Row,” Pat Brown described the difficulty of being “the last stop on the road to the gas chamber.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was an awesome, ultimate power over the lives of others that no person or government should have, or crave,” wrote Pat Brown, who contended that his qualms about it helped Ronald Reagan unseat him in 1966.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After 1967, legal challenges put the death penalty on hold in California for \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/Capital_Punishment/history_of_capital_punishment.html\">25 years\u003c/a>. Because Jerry Brown’s first two terms as governor (from 1975-1983) came during this hiatus, he avoided the clemency decisions that had racked his father.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Executions in California\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>[CAExecutions]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a young governor, Jerry Brown took other actions reflecting his objection to capital punishment—and met resistance. In 1977 he vetoed a bill to reinstate it after courts had abolished it, only to see the Legislature overrule his veto. In 1978, voters re-elected Brown even as they approved an initiative creating the death penalty law still on the books today. Brown appointed justices opposed to executions, only to see voters refuse to retain them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the time the state resumed executions in 1992, Brown was running for president—and touting his “uncompromising” opposition to capital punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When someone is contained in a cage, then to bureaucratically, cold-bloodedly snuff out their life, whether by poison or electrocution or by gas, it doesn’t seem right to me,” Brown \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ltl9vAxAfuU\">said\u003c/a> that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2007 he became California’s attorney general, a position that required him to defend hundreds of death penalty convictions even as the state stopped executions due to lawsuits over lethal injection. It took nearly a decade to produce a new \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-me-pol-ca-execution-protocol-20151105-story.html\">lethal injection plan\u003c/a>, a slow process some blamed on Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated Thursday, 12:15 p.m.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED filed a petition in Alameda County Superior Court Wednesday demanding that the city of Hayward produce public documents potentially related to the sudden and unexplained removal of Police Chief Diane Stuart three months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A late-evening announcement on Aug. 29 that Stuart was forced on leave “for a personnel issue” and that “the details of the issue are confidential” constitute the city’s first and only official explanation to date about the police chief’s forced departure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED made several inquiries with city officials and filed two public records requests on Aug. 30. One sought documentation of investigations into Stuart’s conduct. The other sought records surrounding contracts between Hayward and Virginia-based firm Trident Professionals, based on indications in City Council documents that Hayward contracted in 2014 with the company, which was run by Clark D. Stuart II. In summer 2016, it appears that he married the police chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early September, the Mercury News \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/09/02/hayward-police-chief-probe-anonymous-letter-alleges-favors-for-boyfriend-now-husband/\" target=\"_blank\">reported\u003c/a> on an anonymous letter Hayward officials and the newspaper had previously received, alleging “that police Chief Diane Stuart showed favoritism toward a contractor who later became her husband.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11198542\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 358px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11198542\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Chief-Message_0.jpg\" alt=\"Diane Stuart.\" width=\"358\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Chief-Message_0.jpg 358w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Chief-Message_0-160x128.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Chief-Message_0-240x192.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Diane Stuart. \u003ccite>(City of Hayward website)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That allegation's bearing on Stuart’s removal remains unknown, the newspaper noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it drew attention to previous dealings between Hayward and Clark Stuart involving other companies he's been affiliated with: Global Trident, Global Trident II and a now-shuttered nonprofit, Stop Child Trafficking Now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s concerns about the chief didn’t emerge just this summer. According to correspondence with city officials, investigations into Diane Stuart stretch back to 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"KQED is informed and believes that Chief Stuart's suspension is related to Trident's dealings with the City,\" says the petition Wednesday to Alameda County Superior Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s unclear when or how the city’s dealings with Clark Stuart’s companies were negotiated and whether city leaders were required to consider other vendors. Diane Stuart’s role, if any, in steering city contracts to her husband is also unknown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The City of Hayward fully intends to comply with the Public Records Act as it relates to your request and as allowed by law,\" Hayward City Manager Kelly McAdoo wrote in response to KQED's notification of the filing and request for comment. \"However, we want to ensure an impartial and fair investigation and as such, will not be releasing records prior to the conclusion of the investigation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McAdoo wrote that \"the Police Chief is still under investigation, still employed by the City, and has not been 'ousted' as your article suggests.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Stuart has not been in charge of the Police Department since Aug. 29, when McAdoo appointed Hayward police Capt. Mark Koller acting police chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What We Know\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Archived city documents available through a web portal indicate at least three agreements between Hayward and companies run by Clark Stuart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first, initiated on Dec. 2, 2011, grants the Hayward Police Department access to a sexual exploitation network database owned by Clark Stuart’s company, Global Trident II Inc. The “Sexual Exploitation Network Analysis Tool” was reportedly created by a nonprofit called Stop Child Trafficking Now, which lists Clark Stuart as head of the organization’s “operations team” in a \u003ca href=\"http://media2.nbcactionnews.com/pdf/SCTNowDonorletter.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">2011 letter to donors\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement was signed by the chief of police, whose name then was Diane Urban, as well as Clark Stuart, then-City Manager Frances David, City Attorney Michael Lawson and City Clerk Miriam Lens. It was executed about four months after Diane Stuart left her position with the San Jose Police Department to become Hayward’s police chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About two months later, all of the same city officials signed another contract -- this time to solidify the loan of a specially equipped 2002 Ford Focus from Global Trident II to the Hayward Police Department. The surveillance vehicle was to be used “in connection with HPD’s efforts to investigate violations of and enforce laws regarding human trafficking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SCT Now has not filed federal tax documents since 2013, after Stuart and the organization came under \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FseTO9PsHdc\" target=\"_blank\">scrutiny\u003c/a> for their business relationship, and after several law enforcement agencies raised questions about the usefulness of the sexual exploitation network database it offered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch a Stop Child Trafficking Now promotional video below, featuring Clark Stuart.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/6487342?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nonprofit appears to have become a project called EMPOWER: End Human Trafficking, but its financial records are far from clear. Efforts to reach former directors of SCT Now and current ones from End Human Trafficking were unsuccessful. Clark Stuart’s Global Trident appears to have become Trident Professionals and shifted focus, from international crime fighting to motivational speaking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that didn’t appear to change Clark Stuart’s business opportunities in Hayward. In May 2014, Hayward’s City Council voted unanimously to approve a contract of up to $75,000 with Trident Professionals “to provide customer service and executive communications training.” The city manager’s recommendation for the two-year contract notes that Hayward “has utilized Trident Professionals over the past year in order to provide a variety of training and professional development opportunities to staff,” but no record of other contracts was available on the city’s website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Acting Expeditiously’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Manager McAdoo responded to follow-up inquiries from KQED on Sept. 7, writing that the city would be “releasing additional information as soon as the investigation is complete.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ms. McAdoo issued a news release that acknowledged '[t]his is of course a matter of public and media interest,'\" the petition says, \"but once again, did not provide any more details regarding the reason(s) Chief Stuart was placed on leave.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the following days, representatives from the Hayward City Attorney’s Office officially responded to KQED’s public records requests and self-imposed the first of several now-broken deadlines. The city invoked a two-week extension to identify the records and said more information would come no later than Sept. 26.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That day, nearly a month since Stuart was placed on leave, KQED received confirmation that city staff had identified records pertaining to both the Trident and investigation requests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are acting expeditiously in producing the responsive documents,” said letters from the City Attorney’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly a month later, no documents had been produced. On Oct. 21, KQED began to threaten legal action for Hayward’s failure to produce documents under the California Public Records Act.\u003cbr>\nCity Attorney Michael Lawson responded on the same day to a letter from KQED’s attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The City understands its obligations under the [California Public Records Act], and we have been working diligently across several departments to compile the records responsive to the multiple inquiries received from news media,” Lawson wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first time, he indicated that records pertaining to “2015 and 2016 internal investigative reports related to Hayward police chief Diane Stuart (formerly Urban) are confidential personnel records which cannot be disclosed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation would be complete “within the next few days,” Lawson wrote, “at which time we will further advise KQED regarding the status of the city’s disclosure of the 2015 and 2016 reports.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for documentation surrounding the contracts with Clark Stuart’s companies, they would be provided “no later than 5 p.m., Wednesday, October 26, 2016.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, KQED has yet to receive the documents, despite further promises that their release was imminent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"KQED alleges on information and belief that Respondents will continue to refuse to permit members of the public, including KQED, to inspect or obtain copies of the requested public records in violation of the [California Public Records Act],\" the petition says. \"Respondents are preventing KQED from informing the public about Trident contracts and chief Stuart's role in the negotiation, bidding, execution and performance of these contracts -- matters of substantial public interest.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

One sought documentation of investigations into Stuart’s conduct. The other sought records surrounding contracts between Hayward and Virginia-based firm Trident Professionals, based on indications in City Council documents that Hayward contracted in 2014 with the company, which was run by Clark D. Stuart II. In summer 2016, it appears that he married the police chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In early September, the Mercury News \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2016/09/02/hayward-police-chief-probe-anonymous-letter-alleges-favors-for-boyfriend-now-husband/\" target=\"_blank\">reported\u003c/a> on an anonymous letter Hayward officials and the newspaper had previously received, alleging “that police Chief Diane Stuart showed favoritism toward a contractor who later became her husband.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11198542\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 358px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11198542\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Chief-Message_0.jpg\" alt=\"Diane Stuart.\" width=\"358\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Chief-Message_0.jpg 358w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Chief-Message_0-160x128.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/11/Chief-Message_0-240x192.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Diane Stuart. \u003ccite>(City of Hayward website)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>That allegation's bearing on Stuart’s removal remains unknown, the newspaper noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

According to correspondence with city officials, investigations into Diane Stuart stretch back to 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"KQED is informed and believes that Chief Stuart's suspension is related to Trident's dealings with the City,\" says the petition Wednesday to Alameda County Superior Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it’s unclear when or how the city’s dealings with Clark Stuart’s companies were negotiated and whether city leaders were required to consider other vendors. Diane Stuart’s role, if any, in steering city contracts to her husband is also unknown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The City of Hayward fully intends to comply with the Public Records Act as it relates to your request and as allowed by law,\" Hayward City Manager Kelly McAdoo wrote in response to KQED's notification of the filing and request for comment. \"However, we want to ensure an impartial and fair investigation and as such, will not be releasing records prior to the conclusion of the investigation.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McAdoo wrote that \"the Police Chief is still under investigation, still employed by the City, and has not been 'ousted' as your article suggests.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Stuart has not been in charge of the Police Department since Aug. 29, when McAdoo appointed Hayward police Capt. Mark Koller acting police chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What We Know\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Archived city documents available through a web portal indicate at least three agreements between Hayward and companies run by Clark Stuart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first, initiated on Dec. 2, 2011, grants the Hayward Police Department access to a sexual exploitation network database owned by Clark Stuart’s company, Global Trident II Inc. The “Sexual Exploitation Network Analysis Tool” was reportedly created by a nonprofit called Stop Child Trafficking Now, which lists Clark Stuart as head of the organization’s “operations team” in a \u003ca href=\"http://media2.nbcactionnews.com/pdf/SCTNowDonorletter.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">2011 letter to donors\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement was signed by the chief of police, whose name then was Diane Urban, as well as Clark Stuart, then-City Manager Frances David, City Attorney Michael Lawson and City Clerk Miriam Lens. It was executed about four months after Diane Stuart left her position with the San Jose Police Department to become Hayward’s police chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About two months later, all of the same city officials signed another contract -- this time to solidify the loan of a specially equipped 2002 Ford Focus from Global Trident II to the Hayward Police Department. The surveillance vehicle was to be used “in connection with HPD’s efforts to investigate violations of and enforce laws regarding human trafficking.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SCT Now has not filed federal tax documents since 2013, after Stuart and the organization came under \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FseTO9PsHdc\" target=\"_blank\">scrutiny\u003c/a> for their business relationship, and after several law enforcement agencies raised questions about the usefulness of the sexual exploitation network database it offered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch a Stop Child Trafficking Now promotional video below, featuring Clark Stuart.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/6487342?title=0&byline=0&portrait=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The nonprofit appears to have become a project called EMPOWER: End Human Trafficking, but its financial records are far from clear. Efforts to reach former directors of SCT Now and current ones from End Human Trafficking were unsuccessful. Clark Stuart’s Global Trident appears to have become Trident Professionals and shifted focus, from international crime fighting to motivational speaking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that didn’t appear to change Clark Stuart’s business opportunities in Hayward. In May 2014, Hayward’s City Council voted unanimously to approve a contract of up to $75,000 with Trident Professionals “to provide customer service and executive communications training.” The city manager’s recommendation for the two-year contract notes that Hayward “has utilized Trident Professionals over the past year in order to provide a variety of training and professional development opportunities to staff,” but no record of other contracts was available on the city’s website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Acting Expeditiously’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City Manager McAdoo responded to follow-up inquiries from KQED on Sept. 7, writing that the city would be “releasing additional information as soon as the investigation is complete.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Ms. McAdoo issued a news release that acknowledged '[t]his is of course a matter of public and media interest,'\" the petition says, \"but once again, did not provide any more details regarding the reason(s) Chief Stuart was placed on leave.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the following days, representatives from the Hayward City Attorney’s Office officially responded to KQED’s public records requests and self-imposed the first of several now-broken deadlines. The city invoked a two-week extension to identify the records and said more information would come no later than Sept. 26.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That day, nearly a month since Stuart was placed on leave, KQED received confirmation that city staff had identified records pertaining to both the Trident and investigation requests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are acting expeditiously in producing the responsive documents,” said letters from the City Attorney’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly a month later, no documents had been produced. On Oct. 21, KQED began to threaten legal action for Hayward’s failure to produce documents under the California Public Records Act.\u003cbr>\nCity Attorney Michael Lawson responded on the same day to a letter from KQED’s attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The City understands its obligations under the [California Public Records Act], and we have been working diligently across several departments to compile the records responsive to the multiple inquiries received from news media,” Lawson wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first time, he indicated that records pertaining to “2015 and 2016 internal investigative reports related to Hayward police chief Diane Stuart (formerly Urban) are confidential personnel records which cannot be disclosed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation would be complete “within the next few days,” Lawson wrote, “at which time we will further advise KQED regarding the status of the city’s disclosure of the 2015 and 2016 reports.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for documentation surrounding the contracts with Clark Stuart’s companies, they would be provided “no later than 5 p.m., Wednesday, October 26, 2016.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, KQED has yet to receive the documents, despite further promises that their release was imminent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The appeals court also held that immigrants like Owino must be released unless the government can prove that they are a danger to public safety or a flight risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the case has made its way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, which heard oral arguments Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/295533150\" params=\"auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&visual=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"400\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Owino recalled the night he was released from Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, dropped off on a street corner in downtown San Diego, where he lived before and after his incarceration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was glad I was free,\" he said. \"The air was fresh.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Owino waited for friends to pick him up, he says he veered from ecstasy to paranoia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oh my God, I’m free,\" he said. \"I couldn’t believe it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Owino’s friends asked what he wanted to eat, he replied, “Some real meat!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So his friends cooked up pork chops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We stayed up all night talking, calling friends, family from Europe, from Kenya, eating the pork chops,” says Owino “I can’t express how I felt.

Years later, after Owino had become a permanent legal resident, he was convicted of armed robbery. He calls it a “mistake” he made when he was struggling with alcohol addiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That crime landed Owino in state prison for three years. He says serving that time was hard, but not as hard as what followed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legal resident immigrants who commit certain crimes are subject to mandatory detention and deportation under federal law. So when Owino was released from state prison in 2006, he was handed over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be detained until he could be deported.

And 30,000 to 40,000 people are held in ICE custody on any given day. The government deports most of them within months, but others are locked up for a year or more -- sometimes many years.

Vaughan works for the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that supports more restrictive\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> immigration policies. She’s among those who support Trump’s call for punishing jurisdictions that embrace these policies. We asked her: How many exist?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"There are just over 300 of these jurisdictions, and they range from cities and towns to counties. And even a couple of states have sanctuary policies,\" Vaughan said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The History of Sanctuary in California\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s right -- entire states. And California is one of them, because of a 2013 law known as the Trust Act. It limits when California jails are allowed to cooperate with ICE, and lets them go farther than the state limits if they want. The Trust Act \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">was enacted after the federal government started requiring local jails to share the fingerprints of anyone they book into custody -- and keep them behind bars if Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, deemed them eligible for deportation.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"nvCF21RKfWRRfG0FjJlgGjsh4zcqmGf4\"]\"The Trust Act not only allows local jurisdictions within California to have egregious sanctuary policies, but it also restricts the cooperation of even those sheriffs, for example, who would like to be able to work with ICE,\" said Vaughan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanctuary policies actually began back in the 1980s, when leaders in some cities, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, were moved to protect Central Americans fleeing civil wars after the Reagan administration refused to give them asylum. But most were adopted in recent years after ICE started asking local jails to hold undocumented people, even if they were otherwise eligible for release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters say the policies make for safer communities, because immigrants are more likely to trust and cooperate with local governments if they’re not afraid of being deported. But critics say they are just protecting criminals, like the man accused of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/06/kate-steinle-shooting-opens-can-of-worms-on-san-francisco-immigration-policy/\">shooting Kate Steinle on a San Francisco pier last year.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Money, Money, Money\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Vaughan believes cities, counties and states that don’t cooperate with those detainer requests are flouting federal law and could be punished under a Trump administration. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"There are a number of tools the federal government has to use to address the sanctuary jurisdiction problem. The first, and most obvious one, is block these jurisdictions from getting certain types of federal funds,\" she said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She doesn’t think that San Francisco, for example, would immediately lose all $1 billion it receives each year in federal funding. But the Trump administration could try to cut law enforcement grants by executive action, she said -- something the Obama administration has already done. Vaughan said that under Obama, the Department of Justice has blocked 10 jurisdictions, including the state of California, from applying for certain grants because they have policies that are inconsistent with federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The array of grant programs that could become off-limits could be expanded, and if that happens I believe a lot of these jurisdictions are going to revisit their policies and begin to cooperate,\" Vaughan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So perhaps San Francisco \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">could\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> be at risk of losing up to $35 million that it gets annually in law enforcement assistance from the feds.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Taking It to the Courts\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what if sanctuary jurisdictions\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/14/defiant-san-francisco-vows-to-remain-sanctuary-city/\"> dig in and refuse to change their policies\u003c/a>, as leaders \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-sanctuary-cities-20161114-story.html\">up and down the state of California have vowed to do\u003c/a>?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"In that situation, the federal government needs to look at litigation against those jurisdictions and possibly even prosecution,\" said Vaughan.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chan, the immigration rights lawyer, agrees that the fight will likely end up in court. But she thinks jurisdictions who refuse to cooperate with immigration holds are actually on strong legal footing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">The federal government needs to look at litigation against those jurisdictions and possibly even prosecution.\u003ccite>Jessica Vaughan, Center for Immigration Studies\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"The new Trump administration can make a lot of threats and boasts, as they do, but there are limits to what they can force localities to do,\" she said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chan says federal courts have already ruled that forcing local jails to hold someone, based on an ICE hold, violates Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable seizures. In fact, she said, some counties have adopted sanctuary policies to protect their sheriff's departments from being sued for illegally detaining people. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Federal courts have said you can't have an unreasonable seizure, and an unreasonable seizure of a body is when it's not based on probable cause or a warrant signed by a judge,\" Chan said. \"On top of that, there was a recent court decision from Illinois saying ... that ICE is going outside of the bounds of what federal statute allows because they are issuing these (hold requests) willy-nilly, they are not issuing them based on someone's flight risk. These are just ICE agents signing detainers. They are not based on any judiciary review or any gathering of probable cause evidence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chan said there are also two Supreme Court decisions that could limit a Trump administration’s ability to withhold federal funding. Both were suits brought by conservative plaintiffs seeking to limit local cooperation with federal laws -- one dealing with gun control and one dealing with the Affordable Care Act. And in both cases, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of states' rights.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think states' rights cut both ways -- progressively in terms of defending immigrants, and it cuts conservatively in pushing back against gun control or expanded health care,\" said Chan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Vaughan argues the Trump administration would ultimately prevail if these issues were litigated. But she and Chan agree on the timeline: California shouldn’t expect federal assistance to suddenly disappear come Jan. 20. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Vaughan works for the Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that supports more restrictive\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> immigration policies. She’s among those who support Trump’s call for punishing jurisdictions that embrace these policies. We asked her: How many exist?\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"There are just over 300 of these jurisdictions, and they range from cities and towns to counties. And even a couple of states have sanctuary policies,\" Vaughan said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The History of Sanctuary in California\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s right -- entire states. And California is one of them, because of a 2013 law known as the Trust Act. It limits when California jails are allowed to cooperate with ICE, and lets them go farther than the state limits if they want. The Trust Act \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">was enacted after the federal government started requiring local jails to share the fingerprints of anyone they book into custody -- and keep them behind bars if Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, deemed them eligible for deportation.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\"The Trust Act not only allows local jurisdictions within California to have egregious sanctuary policies, but it also restricts the cooperation of even those sheriffs, for example, who would like to be able to work with ICE,\" said Vaughan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sanctuary policies actually began back in the 1980s, when leaders in some cities, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, were moved to protect Central Americans fleeing civil wars after the Reagan administration refused to give them asylum. But most were adopted in recent years after ICE started asking local jails to hold undocumented people, even if they were otherwise eligible for release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters say the policies make for safer communities, because immigrants are more likely to trust and cooperate with local governments if they’re not afraid of being deported. But critics say they are just protecting criminals, like the man accused of \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/06/kate-steinle-shooting-opens-can-of-worms-on-san-francisco-immigration-policy/\">shooting Kate Steinle on a San Francisco pier last year.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Money, Money, Money\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Vaughan believes cities, counties and states that don’t cooperate with those detainer requests are flouting federal law and could be punished under a Trump administration. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"There are a number of tools the federal government has to use to address the sanctuary jurisdiction problem. The first, and most obvious one, is block these jurisdictions from getting certain types of federal funds,\" she said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She doesn’t think that San Francisco, for example, would immediately lose all $1 billion it receives each year in federal funding. But the Trump administration could try to cut law enforcement grants by executive action, she said -- something the Obama administration has already done. Vaughan said that under Obama, the Department of Justice has blocked 10 jurisdictions, including the state of California, from applying for certain grants because they have policies that are inconsistent with federal law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The array of grant programs that could become off-limits could be expanded, and if that happens I believe a lot of these jurisdictions are going to revisit their policies and begin to cooperate,\" Vaughan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">So perhaps San Francisco \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">could\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> be at risk of losing up to $35 million that it gets annually in law enforcement assistance from the feds.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Taking It to the Courts\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what if sanctuary jurisdictions\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/14/defiant-san-francisco-vows-to-remain-sanctuary-city/\"> dig in and refuse to change their policies\u003c/a>, as leaders \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-sanctuary-cities-20161114-story.html\">up and down the state of California have vowed to do\u003c/a>?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"In that situation, the federal government needs to look at litigation against those jurisdictions and possibly even prosecution,\" said Vaughan.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chan, the immigration rights lawyer, agrees that the fight will likely end up in court. But she thinks jurisdictions who refuse to cooperate with immigration holds are actually on strong legal footing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">The federal government needs to look at litigation against those jurisdictions and possibly even prosecution.\u003ccite>Jessica Vaughan, Center for Immigration Studies\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\"The new Trump administration can make a lot of threats and boasts, as they do, but there are limits to what they can force localities to do,\" she said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chan says federal courts have already ruled that forcing local jails to hold someone, based on an ICE hold, violates Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable seizures. In fact, she said, some counties have adopted sanctuary policies to protect their sheriff's departments from being sued for illegally detaining people. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Federal courts have said you can't have an unreasonable seizure, and an unreasonable seizure of a body is when it's not based on probable cause or a warrant signed by a judge,\" Chan said. \"On top of that, there was a recent court decision from Illinois saying ... that ICE is going outside of the bounds of what federal statute allows because they are issuing these (hold requests) willy-nilly, they are not issuing them based on someone's flight risk. These are just ICE agents signing detainers. They are not based on any judiciary review or any gathering of probable cause evidence.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chan said there are also two Supreme Court decisions that could limit a Trump administration’s ability to withhold federal funding. Both were suits brought by conservative plaintiffs seeking to limit local cooperation with federal laws -- one dealing with gun control and one dealing with the Affordable Care Act. And in both cases, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of states' rights.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think states' rights cut both ways -- progressively in terms of defending immigrants, and it cuts conservatively in pushing back against gun control or expanded health care,\" said Chan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

More than 900 convicted killers have been sent to death row since the death penalty was reinstated, but only 13 have been executed in the state since 1978. The last execution by lethal injection was more than a decade ago and 750 killers languish on death row.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two death penalty measures drove massive spending on both sides.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement groups were the biggest supporters of Proposition 66, pouring $12.6 million into the campaign and outspending the rich donors who fueled an $11.5 million effort to fight it.

More than 900 convicted killers have been sent to death row since the death penalty was reinstated, but only 13 have been executed in the state since 1978.
