"bio": "Alex Emslie is senior editor of talent and development at KQED, where he manages dozens of early career journalists and oversees news department internships.\r\n\r\nHe is a former carpenter and proud graduate of City College of San Francisco and San Francisco State University, where he studied journalism and criminal justice before joining KQED in 2013.\r\n\r\nAlex produced investigative journalism focused on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11667594/the-trials-of-marvin-mutch-video\">criminal justice\u003c/a> and policing for most of a decade. He has broken major stories about \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/135682/amid-a-series-of-vallejo-police-shootings-one-officers-name-stands-out\">police use of deadly force\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10454955/racist-texts-prompt-sfpd-internal-investigation\">officer misconduct\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11712239/terrorist-or-troll-judge-to-weigh-whether-oakland-man-really-intended-to-attack-bay-area\">other\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11221414/hayward-paid-159000-to-husband-of-retired-police-chief-documents-show\">high\u003c/a>-\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10622762/the-forgotten-tracking-two-homicides-in-san-francisco-public-housing\">profile\u003c/a> \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11624516/federal-agency-promoted-ranger-just-months-after-his-gun-was-stolen-and-used-in-steinle-killing\">cases\u003c/a>. He co-founded the \u003ca href=\"https://projects.scpr.org/california-reporting-project/\">California Reporting Project\u003c/a> in 2019 to obtain and report on previously confidential police internal investigations. The effort produced well over 100 original stories and changed the course of multiple criminal cases.\r\n\r\nHis work has been recognized with numerous journalism awards, including a national Edward R. Murrow award for several years of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688481/sfpd-officers-in-mario-woods-case-recount-shooting-in-newly-filed-depositions\">reporting\u003c/a> on the San Francisco Police shooting of Mario Woods. His \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/147854/half-of-those-killed-by-san-francisco-police-are-mentally-ill\">reporting\u003c/a> on police killings of people in psychiatric crisis was cited in amicus briefs before the U.S. Supreme Court.\r\n\r\nAlex now enjoys mentoring the next generation of journalists at KQED.",

Zimmerman assumed Martin was up to no good and took the law into his own hands, prosecutors said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Attorney Angela Corey said after the verdict that she believed second-degree murder was the appropriate charge because Zimmerman's mindset \"fit the bill of second-degree murder.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We charged what we believed we could prove,\" Corey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jurors' names have not been made public, and they declined to speak to the news media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the verdict drew near, police and city leaders in the Orlando suburb of Sanford and other parts of Florida said they were taking precautions against the possibility of mass protests or unrest in the event of an acquittal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump acknowledged the disappointment of Trayvon Martin's supporters, ranking the teen alongside civil rights heroes Medgar Evers and Emmett Till in the history of the fight for equal justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he urged them not to resort to violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For Trayvon to rest in peace, we must all be peaceful,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O'Mara, Zimmerman's attorney, said his client is aware he has to be cautious and protective of his safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There still is a fringe element that wants revenge,\" O'Mara said. \"They won't listen to a verdict of not guilty.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The verdict came a year and a half after civil rights protesters angrily demanded Zimmerman be prosecuted. That anger appeared to return Saturday night outside the courthouse, at least for some who had been following the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosie Barron, 50, and Andrew Perkins, 55, both black residents of Sanford, stood in the parking lot of the courthouse and wept.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I at least thought he was going to get something, something,\" Barron said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Added her brother: \"How the hell did they find him not guilty?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perkins was so upset he was shaking. \"He killed somebody and got away with murder,\" Perkins shouted, looking in the direction of the courthouse. \"He ain't getting no probation or nothing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Issuing a statement from New York, civil rights leader the Rev. Al Sharpton called the not-guilty verdict \"a slap in the face to the American people but it is only the first round in the pursuit of justice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We intend to ask the Department of Justice to move forward as they did in the Rodney King case and we will closely monitor the civil case against Mr. Zimmerman,\" Sharpton said, adding that he will travel to Florida in the next few days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several Zimmerman supporters also were outside the courthouse, including a brother and sister quietly rejoicing that Zimmerman was acquitted. Both thought the jury made the right decision in finding Zimmerman not guilty — they felt that Zimmerman killed Martin in self-defense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cindy Lenzen, 50, of Casslebury, and her brother, 52-year-old Chris Bay, stood watching the protesters chant slogans such as, \"the whole system's guilty.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lenzen and Bay — who are white — called the entire case \"a tragedy,\" especially for Zimmerman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a tragedy that he's going to suffer for the rest of his life,\" Bay said. \"No one wins either way. This is going to be a recurring nightmare in his mind every night.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, authorities in Martin's hometown of Miami said the streets were quiet, with no indication of problems. The neighborhood where Martin's father lives in Miami Gardens was equally quiet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zimmerman wasn't arrested for 44 days after the Feb. 26, 2012, shooting as police in Sanford insisted that Florida's Stand Your Ground law on self-defense prohibited them from bringing charges. Florida gives people wide latitude to use deadly force if they fear death or bodily harm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin's parents, along with civil rights leaders such as Sharpton and the Rev. Jesse Jackson, argued that Zimmerman — who identifies himself as Hispanic — had racially profiled their son. And they accused investigators of dragging their feet because Martin was a black teenager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before a special prosecutor assigned to the case ordered Zimmerman's arrest, thousands of protesters gathered in Sanford, Miami, New York and elsewhere, many wearing hoodies like the one Martin had on the night he died. They also carried Skittles and a can of iced tea, items Martin had in his pocket. President Barack Obama weighed in, saying that if he had a son, \"he'd look like Trayvon.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the racially charged nature of the case, race was barely mentioned at the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This case has never been about race or the right to bear arms,\" Corey said. \"We believe this case all along was about boundaries, and George Zimmerman exceeded those boundaries.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the few mentions of race came from witness Rachel Jeantel, the Miami teen who was talking to Martin by phone moments before he was shot. She testified that he described being followed by a \"creepy-ass cracker\" as he walked through the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeantel gave some of the trial's most riveting testimony. She said she overheard Martin demand, \"What are you following me for?\" and then yell, \"Get off! Get off!\" before his cellphone went dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jurors had to sort out clashing testimony from 56 witnesses in all, including police, neighbors, friends and family members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, witnesses who got fleeting glimpses of the fight in the darkness gave differing accounts of who was on top. And Martin's parents and Zimmerman's parents both claimed that the person heard screaming for help in the background of a neighbor's 911 call was their son. Numerous other relatives and friends weighed in, too, as the recording was played over and over in court. Zimmerman had cuts and scrapes on his face and the back of his head, but prosecutors suggested the injuries were not serious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To secure a second-degree murder conviction, prosecutors had to convince the jury that Zimmerman acted with a \"depraved\" state of mind — that is, with ill will, hatred or spite. Prosecutors said he demonstrated that when he muttered, \"F------ punks. These a-------. They always get away\" during a call to police as he watched Martin walk through his neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To win a manslaughter conviction, prosecutors had to convince the jury only that Zimmerman killed without lawful justification.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Zimmerman assumed Martin was up to no good and took the law into his own hands, prosecutors said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Attorney Angela Corey said after the verdict that she believed second-degree murder was the appropriate charge because Zimmerman's mindset \"fit the bill of second-degree murder.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We charged what we believed we could prove,\" Corey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jurors' names have not been made public, and they declined to speak to the news media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the verdict drew near, police and city leaders in the Orlando suburb of Sanford and other parts of Florida said they were taking precautions against the possibility of mass protests or unrest in the event of an acquittal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin family attorney Benjamin Crump acknowledged the disappointment of Trayvon Martin's supporters, ranking the teen alongside civil rights heroes Medgar Evers and Emmett Till in the history of the fight for equal justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he urged them not to resort to violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For Trayvon to rest in peace, we must all be peaceful,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O'Mara, Zimmerman's attorney, said his client is aware he has to be cautious and protective of his safety.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There still is a fringe element that wants revenge,\" O'Mara said. \"They won't listen to a verdict of not guilty.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The verdict came a year and a half after civil rights protesters angrily demanded Zimmerman be prosecuted. That anger appeared to return Saturday night outside the courthouse, at least for some who had been following the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosie Barron, 50, and Andrew Perkins, 55, both black residents of Sanford, stood in the parking lot of the courthouse and wept.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I at least thought he was going to get something, something,\" Barron said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Added her brother: \"How the hell did they find him not guilty?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perkins was so upset he was shaking. \"He killed somebody and got away with murder,\" Perkins shouted, looking in the direction of the courthouse. \"He ain't getting no probation or nothing.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Issuing a statement from New York, civil rights leader the Rev. Al Sharpton called the not-guilty verdict \"a slap in the face to the American people but it is only the first round in the pursuit of justice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We intend to ask the Department of Justice to move forward as they did in the Rodney King case and we will closely monitor the civil case against Mr. Zimmerman,\" Sharpton said, adding that he will travel to Florida in the next few days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several Zimmerman supporters also were outside the courthouse, including a brother and sister quietly rejoicing that Zimmerman was acquitted. Both thought the jury made the right decision in finding Zimmerman not guilty — they felt that Zimmerman killed Martin in self-defense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cindy Lenzen, 50, of Casslebury, and her brother, 52-year-old Chris Bay, stood watching the protesters chant slogans such as, \"the whole system's guilty.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lenzen and Bay — who are white — called the entire case \"a tragedy,\" especially for Zimmerman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a tragedy that he's going to suffer for the rest of his life,\" Bay said. \"No one wins either way. This is going to be a recurring nightmare in his mind every night.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, authorities in Martin's hometown of Miami said the streets were quiet, with no indication of problems. The neighborhood where Martin's father lives in Miami Gardens was equally quiet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zimmerman wasn't arrested for 44 days after the Feb. 26, 2012, shooting as police in Sanford insisted that Florida's Stand Your Ground law on self-defense prohibited them from bringing charges. Florida gives people wide latitude to use deadly force if they fear death or bodily harm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin's parents, along with civil rights leaders such as Sharpton and the Rev. Jesse Jackson, argued that Zimmerman — who identifies himself as Hispanic — had racially profiled their son. And they accused investigators of dragging their feet because Martin was a black teenager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before a special prosecutor assigned to the case ordered Zimmerman's arrest, thousands of protesters gathered in Sanford, Miami, New York and elsewhere, many wearing hoodies like the one Martin had on the night he died. They also carried Skittles and a can of iced tea, items Martin had in his pocket. President Barack Obama weighed in, saying that if he had a son, \"he'd look like Trayvon.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the racially charged nature of the case, race was barely mentioned at the trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This case has never been about race or the right to bear arms,\" Corey said. \"We believe this case all along was about boundaries, and George Zimmerman exceeded those boundaries.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the few mentions of race came from witness Rachel Jeantel, the Miami teen who was talking to Martin by phone moments before he was shot. She testified that he described being followed by a \"creepy-ass cracker\" as he walked through the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeantel gave some of the trial's most riveting testimony. She said she overheard Martin demand, \"What are you following me for?\" and then yell, \"Get off! Get off!\" before his cellphone went dead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The jurors had to sort out clashing testimony from 56 witnesses in all, including police, neighbors, friends and family members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, witnesses who got fleeting glimpses of the fight in the darkness gave differing accounts of who was on top. And Martin's parents and Zimmerman's parents both claimed that the person heard screaming for help in the background of a neighbor's 911 call was their son. Numerous other relatives and friends weighed in, too, as the recording was played over and over in court. Zimmerman had cuts and scrapes on his face and the back of his head, but prosecutors suggested the injuries were not serious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To secure a second-degree murder conviction, prosecutors had to convince the jury that Zimmerman acted with a \"depraved\" state of mind — that is, with ill will, hatred or spite. Prosecutors said he demonstrated that when he muttered, \"F------ punks. These a-------. They always get away\" during a call to police as he watched Martin walk through his neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It tells the story of 22-year-old Oscar Grant, who was unarmed when BART police officer Johannes Mehserle shot him on the Fruitvale train platform early New Year’s Day 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today I visited Oakland’s Youth Uprising Community Center. There I met Brandon Robbins and Dimitrius McWilliams. The two young men didn’t know Oscar Grant, but they say they identify with him in many ways. Robbins says he took BART to San Francisco from Fruitvale on New Year’s Eve and heard about the shooting the following day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brandon Robbins:\u003c/strong> I saw it online and when I saw it online the first thing I thought was this is just visual evidence of something that happens, I don’t want to say quite often, but it happens. It’s happened in history plenty of times. It’s just the first time it’s actually on camera, flat out on camera. I didn’t realize the power of social media in this decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: After you learned about what happened, did it change the way you felt when you rode BART? Did it change the way you felt in society?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: No, because for me since I was a kid, my parents, we really don’t like the police and there’s reasons. For me it’s always been I try to stay far away from the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: What about you Dimitrius? Did your outlook change at all after the Oscar Grant killing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dimitrius McWilliams\u003c/strong>: My outlook on BART police changed in that I’m more cautious and it kinds of makes me think that could have been me if I was him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: The movie comes out tomorrow. You’ve seen the trailers, but you haven’t seen the film, neither one of you.

It tells the story of 22-year-old Oscar Grant, who was unarmed when BART police officer Johannes Mehserle shot him on the Fruitvale train platform early New Year’s Day 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today I visited Oakland’s Youth Uprising Community Center. There I met Brandon Robbins and Dimitrius McWilliams. The two young men didn’t know Oscar Grant, but they say they identify with him in many ways. Robbins says he took BART to San Francisco from Fruitvale on New Year’s Eve and heard about the shooting the following day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brandon Robbins:\u003c/strong> I saw it online and when I saw it online the first thing I thought was this is just visual evidence of something that happens, I don’t want to say quite often, but it happens. It’s happened in history plenty of times. It’s just the first time it’s actually on camera, flat out on camera. I didn’t realize the power of social media in this decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: After you learned about what happened, did it change the way you felt when you rode BART? Did it change the way you felt in society?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Robbins\u003c/strong>: No, because for me since I was a kid, my parents, we really don’t like the police and there’s reasons. For me it’s always been I try to stay far away from the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: What about you Dimitrius? Did your outlook change at all after the Oscar Grant killing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Dimitrius McWilliams\u003c/strong>: My outlook on BART police changed in that I’m more cautious and it kinds of makes me think that could have been me if I was him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Martin\u003c/strong>: The movie comes out tomorrow.

Hannah-Beth Jackson, D-Santa Barbara, who also signed Lieu’s letter, told CIR. “We want to make absolutely sure – whether we have to do legislation or what – this procedure never becomes the practice it had in the past.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/07/08/female-inmates-sterilized/\">CIR\u003c/a> found that 148 women received tubal ligations without required state approvals from 2006 to 2010.

That ban allowed the procedure only in life-threatening situations and with high-level state review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daun Martin said she and Heinrich believed the restriction was “unfair.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin said she did not allow the procedures once she knew they were banned.

It asks the receiver to provide answers within two weeks concerning how women ended up sterilized while under federal control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/05/28/in-california-incarcerated-students-fall-through-gaps-in-special-education-laws/cir-logo-2/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-98222\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-98222 alignright\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2013/05/CIR-logo-300x72.png\" alt=\"CIR logo\" width=\"300\" height=\"72\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Documents obtained by CIR show the receiver’s office knew in 2008 that sterilizations were occurring. The office didn’t move to stop the procedures until 2010, after a prisoner advocacy group, Justice Now, filed a public records request and complained to state Sen. Carol Liu, D-Glendale. Liu was the chairwoman of the Select Committee on Women and Children in the Criminal Justice System.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As the federal Receiver, you were appointed by the three-judge panel to implement a lawful standard of medical care in California prisons. These instances of unauthorized tubal ligations under your watch violate California state laws,” the letter Tuesday to the receiver states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Pressuring a vulnerable population – including at least one documented instance of a patient under sedation, to undergo these extreme procedures erodes the ban on eugenics. In our view, such practice violates Constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment; protections that you were appointed to enforce.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Valley State inmate Kimberly Jeffrey told CIR she was asked repeatedly to get sterilized, including while sedated and strapped to a surgical table for a C-section in 2010. Her hospital medical records indicate she declined the procedure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He said, ‘So we’re going to be doing this tubal ligation, right?’ ” Jeffrey said. “I’m like, ‘Tubal ligation? What are you talking about? I don’t want any procedure. I just want to have my baby.’ I went into a straight panic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson told CIR such allegations were “totally unacceptable and very alarming.” She said she wanted the public to know that she and her lawmaker colleagues are working hard to ensure that the unauthorized\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>sterilizations never happen again\u003cstrong>.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hayhoe, with the receivership, said it and members of the California Legislative Women’s Caucus discussed the letter during a meeting today.

"description": "By Corey G. Johnson, The Center for Investigative Reporting State lawmakers called today for an investigation of the physicians involved in the sterilization of women inmates and raised questions about a federal prison overseer’s role in handling the matter. In a letter to the Medical Board of California, state Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Redondo Beach, said that The Center for Investigative Reporting’s investigation raised “troubling allegations that doctors violated State law, disregarded ethical guidelines, and fell well below the Standard of care.” Lieu is chairman of the Business, Professions and Economic Development Committee, which oversees the medical board. “We’ve been assured",

That ban allowed the procedure only in life-threatening situations and with high-level state review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daun Martin said she and Heinrich believed the restriction was “unfair.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin said she did not allow the procedures once she knew they were banned.

The office didn’t move to stop the procedures until 2010, after a prisoner advocacy group, Justice Now, filed a public records request and complained to state Sen. Carol Liu, D-Glendale. Liu was the chairwoman of the Select Committee on Women and Children in the Criminal Justice System.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As the federal Receiver, you were appointed by the three-judge panel to implement a lawful standard of medical care in California prisons. These instances of unauthorized tubal ligations under your watch violate California state laws,” the letter Tuesday to the receiver states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Pressuring a vulnerable population – including at least one documented instance of a patient under sedation, to undergo these extreme procedures erodes the ban on eugenics. In our view, such practice violates Constitutional protections against cruel and unusual punishment; protections that you were appointed to enforce.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Valley State inmate Kimberly Jeffrey told CIR she was asked repeatedly to get sterilized, including while sedated and strapped to a surgical table for a C-section in 2010. Her hospital medical records indicate she declined the procedure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He said, ‘So we’re going to be doing this tubal ligation, right?’ ” Jeffrey said. “I’m like, ‘Tubal ligation? What are you talking about? I don’t want any procedure. I just want to have my baby.’ I went into a straight panic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson told CIR such allegations were “totally unacceptable and very alarming.” She said she wanted the public to know that she and her lawmaker colleagues are working hard to ensure that the unauthorized\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>sterilizations never happen again\u003cstrong>.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hayhoe, with the receivership, said it and members of the California Legislative Women’s Caucus discussed the letter during a meeting today.
