After a proposed bill that would have created an official state commission to address the issue was abandoned, two advocacy groups, the Wren Collective and UC Berkeley’s Criminal Law and Justice Center, decided to form an independent commission and began assembling participants who could develop and act on reforms.[aside postID=news_12088076 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2026/06/250418-SFPDFile-01-BL_qed.jpg']These types of commissions, which have facilitated significant improvements in other states’ public defender systems, are usually established by the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It became clear that this was an issue that was not a high priority for Sacramento, especially during a budget crisis,” said Chesa Boudin, the Berkeley center’s founding director and a former San Francisco district attorney. It also became clear, Boudin said, that “there was a tremendous gap between what experts understood to be the crisis and the public perception of California government as a kind of progressive leader in the country.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the decades since the U.S. Supreme Court established the right to an attorney in state court criminal proceedings, California has saddled its counties with the responsibility of providing lawyers to poor people accused of crimes. Many of those counties have opted for the cheapest path: paying private lawyers and firms a flat fee to represent indigent defendants, regardless of how many cases they handle or how much time they spend on each case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ve got some offices that have an incredibly high caliber of representation that they can provide, and you have other offices that are doing these flat-fee contracts where the quality has been documented to be pretty bad,” said Eve Brensike Primus, a law professor at the University of Michigan. Primus is the only member of the new commission from outside of California. She was asked to join because of her extensive research and writing about the structure of indigent defense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An indigent defense commission in Michigan, which was formed by the legislature in 2013, has led to significant reforms and a substantial influx in state funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11930102\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11930102\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/GettyImages-1408774696.jpg\" alt=\"A young white man with a beard stands in a blue suit outside a gray building\" width=\"1024\" height=\"705\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/GettyImages-1408774696.jpg 1024w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/GettyImages-1408774696-800x551.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/GettyImages-1408774696-1020x702.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/10/GettyImages-1408774696-160x110.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Former District Attorney Chesa Boudin is seen outside the Hall of Justice in San Francisco on Dec. 30, 2020. \u003ccite>(Paul Chinn/The San Francisco Chronicle via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The California commission’s work, Primus said, can serve “as a catalyst for political actors to do the right thing and start to fund and improve indigent defense delivery, or as fodder for lawsuits that then can try to get the judiciary to push the political actors to do what is necessary to provide for effective representation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission is scheduled to hold its first in-person meeting, which will be open to the public, in Berkeley in October, with additional meetings planned for Los Angeles, the Central Valley and Northern California over the next 12 months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commissioners say they will work in subcommittees in-between these quarterly sessions to develop a concrete fiscal plan for the state, draft legislative language, and establish minimum standards for how counties should structure their public defender offices, compensate their attorneys, provide access to experts, and report on their work.

Samayoa was subsequently fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly three years after the incident, Chesa Boudin, Jenkins’ predecessor who was recalled from office last summer, charged Samayoa with multiple counts of manslaughter and assault, marking the first homicide prosecution in San Francisco history against a police officer for an on-duty killing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a Feb. 8 letter to Bonta, Jenkins argued that Boudin wrongly pursued manslaughter charges against Samayoa for “political reasons and not in the interest of justice.” She said her office had also “discovered an internal conflict in the case that impacts our ability to handle the matter,” referring to opposing statements from the attorney in Boudin’s office who initially handled the case and the DA investigator who signed the arrest warrant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The judge announced her decision to delay the dismissal after hearing a heartfelt plea from O’Neil’s aunt, April Green, who told reporters she hopes to meet with Bonta during the stay order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11942244\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/014_KQED_KeitaONeilRallySF_03012023.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11942244 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/03/014_KQED_KeitaONeilRallySF_03012023.jpg\" alt=\"A middle-aged woman with light, freckled skin and short dark hair is seated in a wheelchair holding a microphone, next to a photo of a Black man with long black locs.

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco needs the ability to more easily place residents with mental illness in restrictive conservatorships, with less red tape, to ease its homelessness crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s according to San Francisco Mayor London Breed, who joined KQED Political Breakdown hosts Scott Shafer and Marisa Lagos at a KQED Live event Wednesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout the night, Breed answered wide-ranging questions covering new policies against drug dealers announced by her district attorney appointee, her own accomplishments on tackling city homelessness, and her much-maligned use of prewritten resignation letters for her city commission appointees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Summing up her time as mayor, Breed said, “This bureaucracy has really tested my patience for getting results.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed also dismissed the critiques that requiring her commission appointees to write undated letters of resignation allowed her undue influence over them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>‘“This is a real insider political thing,” she said. “The people who care about this are the people who, in most cases, just want to mess with me over something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Board of Supervisors are planning \u003ca href=\"https://sfbos.org/sites/default/files/gao101122_agenda.pdf\">a hearing on those letters next Tuesday\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while Breed isn’t on this year’s ballot in San Francisco, her appointees certainly are up for election: District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, for instance, and District 6 Supervisor Matt Dorsey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So while San Francisco voters won’t weigh in on Breed directly, they’ll certainly vote on her policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On Gov. Gavin Newsom’s CARE Court\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On stage at KQED’s venue, The Commons, Lagos and Shafer pressed Breed on her view of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new CARE Court program. The governor signed the Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment (CARE) Act into law last month, creating a program of court-ordered treatment plans for people deemed to be suffering from severe mental illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>People with mental disorders who decline those plans could be placed under a conservatorship and ordered to comply. But Breed said that doesn’t go far enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that the challenge is, we need more and I think we need to be bold,” Breed said. “And we need to have an honest conversation about people, some people who can get help and maybe be stabilized and be better and get OK. And there are others who need to be in a locked mental health facility who sometimes are violent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed said that the complaints about old-style mental health facilities miss that modern society now has more evidence-based treatment of mental illnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_yS_grDCMc\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Watch the full interview with Mayor London Breed and KQED Political Breakdown hosts Scott Shafer and Marisa Lagos on YouTube. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also bemoaned \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11742865/should-s-f-be-able-to-compel-mentally-ill-homeless-people-into-treatment\">a conservatorship law authored by state Sen. Scott Wiener\u003c/a>, which was approved in 2018, as being too onerous. It requires eight psychiatric holds before a person can be conserved by the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That threshold needs to be lowered,” Breed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Changing the city’s approach may even be more useful than the $1 billion annually the city now spends on homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not about the money,” Breed said (though she did defend the city’s record on homelessness, saying San Francisco saw a 15% reduction in unsheltered homelessness in the past year, and a reduction in homelessness by 3.5%, even as other Bay Area cities saw no reduction).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She framed her view in personal terms: A man she knew who was kind to his community, who gave flowers to women he knew and lived in a senior home, began to develop dementia and “get violent,” Breed said. She tried to get him stabilized, to take his medication but, ultimately, could not legally force him to. He’s now homeless on the streets of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So why is that OK to say that he has rights to say ‘I don’t want help’?” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know he has dementia. We know he’s never been this kind of person before. So he needs to be cared for, differently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Breed on prewritten resignation letters for her appointees\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Breed has come under fire recently \u003ca href=\"https://sfstandard.com/politics/mayor-breed-to-end-practice-of-making-appointees-sign-undated-resignation-letters-in-face-of-legislative-action/\">after the San Francisco Standard revealed she required prewritten resignation letters\u003c/a> from many of her appointees to city commissions, like the police commission or San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since those commissioners are supposed to exercise their independent judgment and expertise, the City Attorney’s Office advised Breed to end the practice, saying the prewritten resignation letters could threaten appointees’ independence and show “undue influence.” The appointees often vote on controversial issues, like the election of a police commission president.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Onstage at KQED, Shafer began to introduce the letters situation, when Breed interrupted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You gonna talk about my letters?” Breed asked Shafer playfully. “Why are we focused on that when there are so many important things to be focused on?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed said the practice of having prewritten resignation letters was inspired by a port commissioner, Mel Murphy, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/S-F-Port-Commissioner-Mel-Murphy-pressured-to-6180332.php\">who would not resign when Mayor Ed Lee asked him to\u003c/a>, which affected port commission business. That’s happened to her, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s “part of why we did what we did, and I take full responsibility for it, because it was my decision. It was not an illegal thing to do. But it was necessary if I ever needed to use it,” Breed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed then turned things around on Shafer and asked him, “Why do you think it’s so important?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shafer, reflecting the advice from the City Attorney’s Office, said, “Because it implies that you want to have a level of control, when their job is to oversee these departments and be independent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed said, “I do want to have a level of control. That’s not even a question, because I’m held accountable for it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She later added, “Commissioners aren’t even elected. The buck stops with me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Breed on fentanyl dealers\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Former DA Chesa Boudin was recalled, in part, for his more progressive approach to prosecutions, sometimes sending those arrested for drug dealing to diversion courts. Still, critics have taken Breed, and new DA Jenkins, to task for \u003ca href=\"https://48hills.org/2022/08/sf-da-seeks-return-to-the-failed-approach-of-the-war-on-drugs/\">their more hard-line approach to drug dealers and drug users\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking to that, Breed told Shafer and Lagos that her lived experience lets her easily shake off critics. She grew up in housing projects in the Fillmore neighborhood, where drug addiction and death touched her family. Other would-be “saviors,” she said, don’t know that life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of my experiences of who I am shaped my policy. But also how unapologetic I am,” she said. “It’s why I’m not afraid to stand up for what I believe in even if it’s controversial.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In December last year, Breed notoriously complained about the “bullshit that has destroyed our city,” when announcing \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/A-month-after-S-F-Mayor-Breed-s-tough-talk-on-16771411.php\">a police crackdown in the Tenderloin, which, debatably, may never have materialized\u003c/a>. Shafer asked Breed about the motivation behind those comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that came about because I was angry. I was frustrated,” Breed said. She said she made the comments after speaking with immigrant families in the Tenderloin, who told her about violent encounters in the neighborhood through tears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Why do people who deal drugs have more rights than people who try to get up and go to work every day and take their children to school?” Breed asked. The crowd at KQED applauded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shafer pushed back and asked, “Do they, though? Have more rights?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed said she wanted to talk about “the reality of the situation,” and that there are many people who come from Honduras dealing drugs. The San Francisco Public Defender’s Office, in turn, has argued \u003ca href=\"https://sfstandard.com/criminal-justice/sf-police-chief-defends-officer-accused-of-targeting-latinos-in-tenderloin-drug-busts/\">police are racially profiling by arresting mostly Latino drug dealers\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/FitzTheReporter/status/1577843894443642880\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s nothing racial profile about this, we all know it, it’s the reality, it’s what you see, it’s what’s out there,” she said. “So we have people advocating for folks who are selling fentanyl that’s killing people. But what about the kid that got ahold of some fentanyl by accident and died? What about the families?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So for me, we can’t just, you know, throw our hands up and say, ‘People have rights,’” Breed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Breed on SFPD arrest rates\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Stories abound in local media about San Francisco Police Department officers \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/S-F-supervisor-questions-police-chief-about-16921936.php\">failing to make arrests\u003c/a>. That phenomenon has been blamed on dwindling police staff (which led to \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/S-F-Mayor-Breed-s-14-billion-budget-would-17212579.php\">raises for police in San Francisco’s recent budget\u003c/a>), and low morale under former DA Chesa Boudin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some critics of the SFPD \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/bayarea/heatherknight/article/SF-police-crime-16931399.php\">alleged officers were on an unofficial work stoppage\u003c/a> to undermine Boudin and his progressive policies, which police often criticized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Onstage at KQED, Lagos asked Breed, “Do you think the police purposefully undermined the former DA?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, I’m not going to guess what someone did or didn’t do,” Breed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though Boudin sometimes disagreed with the mayor and the police department on prosecution policy, she said, it shouldn’t stop officers from fulfilling their oath.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You swear to serve and protect,” she said, “and if you do that, you can’t deliberately try to undermine someone because you don’t like who that person is. You have to do your responsibility based on the oath that you take. And I think, if that were the case, it’s really unfortunate. And in some cases, some of those people should not be wearing the uniform.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, she said, the police department needs support as it’s short more than 500 officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Building up this department is going to take some time,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And though it's been less than two weeks since she took office, San Francisco's new district attorney has wasted no time in cleaning house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Jenkins fired at least 15 staffers from the district attorney's office, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/SF-DA-Chesa-Boudin-fires-attorneys-14971336.php\">a similar sort of shake-up that Boudin made when he assumed office in 2020\u003c/a>. It isn't out of the norm for newly elected officials to bring in their own staff to help implement their visions. At the time, San Franciscans who favored a stronger prosecutorial hand cried foul when Boudin cleaned house. His loss of attorneys even became a case made against him by proponents of his recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jenkins was quick to defend her firing of attorneys in an interview with KQED Newsroom's Priya David Clemens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I want to bring in a new management team that is full of prosecution experience,\" Jenkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much hay has been made of the new direction Jenkins may take prosecutions in San Francisco. Will she begin prosecuting low-level drug dealers? Will she maintain Boudin's Innocence Commission to research wrongful convictions? Will she ease the gas on criminal justice reform efforts championed by Boudin? There also are questions around what will happen when attorneys who've been handling cases previously are suddenly replaced and the impact that may have on whether trials will be delayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In two interviews with KQED, Jenkins said she would \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfdistrictattorney.org/policy/innocence-commission/\">maintain the Innocence Commission\u003c/a>, but also said she wasn't ready to firmly state other policies. But her new hires may tip her hand, somewhat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jenkins also announced on Friday four new hires to her office, all women, including Nancy Tung, a strong opponent of Boudin in 2019 who ran to his right, favoring more traditional law-and-order policies, in contrast to Boudin's reformist positions. Before joining the office, Tung was considered a possible challenger to Jenkins in the November election.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"District Attorney Brooke Jenkins\"]'If people start to see more action on the part of the police and more action within the DA's office to hold offenders accountable, I think they should hopefully start feeling different as they walk about the streets.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jenkins hired Tung to be her chief of special prosecutions and community partnerships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new district attorney discussed this new hire \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/kqednewsroom\">with KQED Newsroom host Priya David Clemens Friday\u003c/a>, and on Thursday \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11919634/meet-brooke-jenkins-san-franciscos-new-district-attorney\">spoke to her broader criminal justice philosophy with KQED's Political Breakdown hosts Scott Shafer and Marisa Lagos\u003c/a>. In her interview with Shafer and Lagos, Jenkins defended her critiques of Boudin and said voters should hold her to the same high standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Jenkins added, \"I can't snap my fingers and make crime disappear.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The following interviews have been edited for brevity and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>KQED NEWSROOM\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>PRIYA DAVID CLEMENS: So you are one week to the day into the new job. And you have spent the day putting your house in order. You are in the process of bringing new people in, and you have fired more than a dozen people in the office as well. Tell us about what you're hoping to accomplish with these changes. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BROOKE JENKINS:\u003c/strong> Yes, I want to bring in a new management team that is full of prosecution experience. I announced three new members of the team who comprise about 50 years of prosecutorial experience, which I think is going to be critical to moving forward with my promise to the public that accountability will be restored to the justice system in San Francisco and that we will be the best type of advocate that we can for victims in the courtroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ps6vt6bv-n4&t=321s\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>One of those [new prosecutors you hired] is Nancy Tung, who had run against District Attorney Boudin in the past. Another worked alongside you in his office and also left under his time. So you are bringing in people who are opposed to that vision of what was. Tell me about the firings that you are in the process of putting forth.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like I said, I just want to make sure that I have a very strong management team that is dedicated to balancing reform and public safety. And sometimes that takes some shifts, you know, as it does in any new administration\u003ci>. \u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I'm very optimistic about what is going to happen with the management team in the office, and how we're going to begin restoring some law and order to San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So you're now in the hot seat, right? What are you going to do that's different? What is the No. 1 thing that you think to yourself, 'Man, if I do nothing else in my time in office, I am going to get this thing done'?\u003c/strong>[aside postID=\"news_11916212,news_11919634\" label=\"Related Posts\"]I think we have to go back to holding repeat offenders and repeat violent offenders accountable. I think that has been lost in this system and that cost us many lives over the past two years, having repeat offenders go out and reoffend in lethal ways. And so I am committed to making sure that those who decide to live a life of crime and chronically commit crime in this city [are held] accountable. As well as, as I said, balancing that need for reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So would it be fair then to say one metric by which the public should judge you would be to see if police arrest rates go up?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wouldn't necessarily say that.

And it comes back to, if I'm a police officer and I am going to put myself in harm's way, one, I'm going to then risk, if somebody resists, what I have to do to put them in handcuffs and maybe be falsely accused of use of force or whatever may happen. Knowing that the DA is going to simply let the person out within 24 hours, maybe give them no penalty at all, give them diversion for, you know, selling whatever, being in possession of a hundred grams of fentanyl because it doesn't matter, then they're less incentivized to do their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003cstrong>MARISA LAGOS\u003c/strong>: \u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Do you think they purposely undermine Boudin?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>BROOKE JENKINS: \u003c/b>No. That's not my interpretation of what was going on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003cstrong>MARISA LAGOS\u003c/strong>: \u003c/b>\u003cstrong>We've seen this also around Prop. 47, right? A lot of pushback by law enforcement, saying, \"If we don't think we don't like this policy and we're not going to enforce misdemeanors because it won't result in anything.\" Should that really be the job of the police?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>BROOKE JENKINS: \u003c/b>I think all of us as players in this criminal justice system have a job to do, and we should do it regardless of whether or not we agree or disagree with certain laws. That was a part of my complaint about the previous administration, is the selectivity of which laws they chose to enforce. And so, no, as law enforcement agencies, we need to simply just do the function of our job, which is to enforce the laws of the state of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SCOTT SHAFER: \u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Obviously, you're going to look at different cases in different ways than your predecessor. But can you be specific? For example, what will you be seeking? Gang enhancements where Boudin might not have? Will you be taking into account previous strikes in an effort to get a longer sentence potentially?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>BROOKE JENKINS: \u003c/b>I haven't made certain policy changes yet. I've tried to make it clear that I agree in large part with the spirit of many of Chesa Boudin's policies. That we should not be overusing gang charges or enhancements, that it's something that has historically been used against people of color and that we should be much more thoughtful about the occasions where that's appropriate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what I don't want to do — and what I've never believed in — is the removal completely of prosecutorial discretion. There are going to be certain circumstances where something may be called for and we have to use the laws available to us to bring justice in that case. But I always want to be thoughtful about the equity that goes on in this system. And so as I craft the policies going forward in the San Francisco district attorney's office, I'm going to try to make sure that we keep that spirit of fairness and equity in the way that we go forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

And though it's been less than two weeks since she took office, San Francisco's new district attorney has wasted no time in cleaning house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Jenkins fired at least 15 staffers from the district attorney's office, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/SF-DA-Chesa-Boudin-fires-attorneys-14971336.php\">a similar sort of shake-up that Boudin made when he assumed office in 2020\u003c/a>. It isn't out of the norm for newly elected officials to bring in their own staff to help implement their visions. At the time, San Franciscans who favored a stronger prosecutorial hand cried foul when Boudin cleaned house. His loss of attorneys even became a case made against him by proponents of his recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jenkins was quick to defend her firing of attorneys in an interview with KQED Newsroom's Priya David Clemens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I want to bring in a new management team that is full of prosecution experience,\" Jenkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much hay has been made of the new direction Jenkins may take prosecutions in San Francisco. Will she begin prosecuting low-level drug dealers? Will she maintain Boudin's Innocence Commission to research wrongful convictions? Will she ease the gas on criminal justice reform efforts championed by Boudin? There also are questions around what will happen when attorneys who've been handling cases previously are suddenly replaced and the impact that may have on whether trials will be delayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In two interviews with KQED, Jenkins said she would \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfdistrictattorney.org/policy/innocence-commission/\">maintain the Innocence Commission\u003c/a>, but also said she wasn't ready to firmly state other policies. But her new hires may tip her hand, somewhat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jenkins also announced on Friday four new hires to her office, all women, including Nancy Tung, a strong opponent of Boudin in 2019 who ran to his right, favoring more traditional law-and-order policies, in contrast to Boudin's reformist positions. Before joining the office, Tung was considered a possible challenger to Jenkins in the November election.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In her interview with Shafer and Lagos, Jenkins defended her critiques of Boudin and said voters should hold her to the same high standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Jenkins added, \"I can't snap my fingers and make crime disappear.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The following interviews have been edited for brevity and clarity.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>KQED NEWSROOM\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>PRIYA DAVID CLEMENS: So you are one week to the day into the new job. And you have spent the day putting your house in order. You are in the process of bringing new people in, and you have fired more than a dozen people in the office as well. Tell us about what you're hoping to accomplish with these changes. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>BROOKE JENKINS:\u003c/strong> Yes, I want to bring in a new management team that is full of prosecution experience. I announced three new members of the team who comprise about 50 years of prosecutorial experience, which I think is going to be critical to moving forward with my promise to the public that accountability will be restored to the justice system in San Francisco and that we will be the best type of advocate that we can for victims in the courtroom.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Ps6vt6bv-n4'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Ps6vt6bv-n4'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003cstrong>One of those [new prosecutors you hired] is Nancy Tung, who had run against District Attorney Boudin in the past. Another worked alongside you in his office and also left under his time. So you are bringing in people who are opposed to that vision of what was. Tell me about the firings that you are in the process of putting forth.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like I said, I just want to make sure that I have a very strong management team that is dedicated to balancing reform and public safety.

What are you going to do that's different?

Knowing that the DA is going to simply let the person out within 24 hours, maybe give them no penalty at all, give them diversion for, you know, selling whatever, being in possession of a hundred grams of fentanyl because it doesn't matter, then they're less incentivized to do their jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003cstrong>MARISA LAGOS\u003c/strong>: \u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Do you think they purposely undermine Boudin?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>BROOKE JENKINS: \u003c/b>No. That's not my interpretation of what was going on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003cstrong>MARISA LAGOS\u003c/strong>: \u003c/b>\u003cstrong>We've seen this also around Prop. 47, right? A lot of pushback by law enforcement, saying, \"If we don't think we don't like this policy and we're not going to enforce misdemeanors because it won't result in anything.\" Should that really be the job of the police?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>BROOKE JENKINS: \u003c/b>I think all of us as players in this criminal justice system have a job to do, and we should do it regardless of whether or not we agree or disagree with certain laws. That was a part of my complaint about the previous administration, is the selectivity of which laws they chose to enforce. And so, no, as law enforcement agencies, we need to simply just do the function of our job, which is to enforce the laws of the state of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>SCOTT SHAFER: \u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Obviously, you're going to look at different cases in different ways than your predecessor. But can you be specific? For example, what will you be seeking? Gang enhancements where Boudin might not have? Will you be taking into account previous strikes in an effort to get a longer sentence potentially?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>BROOKE JENKINS: \u003c/b>I haven't made certain policy changes yet. I've tried to make it clear that I agree in large part with the spirit of many of Chesa Boudin's policies. That we should not be overusing gang charges or enhancements, that it's something that has historically been used against people of color and that we should be much more thoughtful about the occasions where that's appropriate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what I don't want to do — and what I've never believed in — is the removal completely of prosecutorial discretion. There are going to be certain circumstances where something may be called for and we have to use the laws available to us to bring justice in that case. But I always want to be thoughtful about the equity that goes on in this system. And so as I craft the policies going forward in the San Francisco district attorney's office, I'm going to try to make sure that we keep that spirit of fairness and equity in the way that we go forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

My family has seen and felt the impacts of police violence. The inequity in the criminal justice system is not theoretical to me. It is part of my lived experience. Working together, I know we can make San Francisco a stronger, safer and more just place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with KQED in April, Jenkins criticized Boudin’s charging decisions and said the plea deals he made were often far too lenient.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11916212\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/06/Image-from-iOS-5-1020x680.jpg\"]“When you execute a plea deal, it needs to be one that’s responsible.

Former DA Kamala Harris left the position to become California Attorney General in 2011, and her replacement, George Gascón, resigned in 2019 to run for Los Angeles DA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cristine Soto DeBerry, executive director of the progressive Prosecutors Alliance of California, and a Boudin supporter, said the new DA’s first task should be preventing a mass exodus of attorneys.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s better for victims and survivors of crime to not have a lot of turnover of their case from one lawyer to the next and one advocate to the next,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jenkins, however, won’t have much time to get comfortable in the job. In November, voters will decide whether she or another candidate fills out the remaining year in Boudin’s term. If she wins, Jenkins will face voters again in 2023 if she decides to seek a full four-year term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a source familiar with the process, the mayor has spent “every day” since last month’s recall election thinking about this appointment, and held more than a dozen meetings at City Hall with community groups, former DA office staff, judges and various law enforcement officials. She also met with advocates for crime victims, as well as supporters and opponents of Boudin’s recall, the source said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed reportedly asked potential appointees for their take on issues such as how to prosecute domestic violence, drug arrests and weapons charges. According to the mayor’s office, Breed wanted someone with prosecutorial experience who also was a supporter of criminal justice reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Breed did not take a formal position on Boudin’s recall, she had openly criticized his leadership, and it was evident she supported his removal from office, two-and-a-half years after he edged out her handpicked appointee, Suzy Loftus, in a very close election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11919059\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS57119_005_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11919059\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS57119_005_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Mayor London Breed stands at a podium, her right hand extended,with a California and American flag behind her, introducing Brooke Jenkins - standing to her right — as San Francisco's new district attorney.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS57119_005_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS57119_005_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS57119_005_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS57119_005_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS57119_005_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">New San Francisco district attorney Brooke Jenkins listens to Mayor London Breed introduce her during a press conference at City Hall on July 7, 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In addition to Jenkins, the mayor also reportedly considered Alameda County Deputy District Attorney Nancy Tung, who ran unsuccessfully for the job in 2019. Other potential candidates included SF Superior Court Judge Eric Fleming, a former prosecutor in the DA’s office, and Supervisor Catherine Stefani, who endorsed Boudin’s recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Efforts to recall Boudin, a progressive reformer, began not long after he took office in 2020, just as the pandemic began turning life upside down. San Francisco’s courts were included in the mass shutdown of in-person government operations, resulting in much slower prosecutions and resolutions of pending cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin’s tenure also coincided with a sharp rise in anti-Asian hate crimes — both in San Francisco and across the country — as well as viral videos of organized “smash-and-grab” incidents at upscale stores in Union Square that fueled a general but often unfounded perception that crime was rising and Boudin was to blame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think people being alone, people being isolated and existing through social media kind of led to a heightened sense that our city wasn’t safe, and [Boudin] took the blame for it,” said former police commissioner and recall opponent John Hamasaki. “He took the fall for it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hamasaki, who was a strong critic of the San Francisco Police Department while he served as commissioner, noted that although the recall was framed by national media as a referendum on Boudin’s progressive policies, “within the recall crowd, there was never any specificity as to what they wanted — just that Boudin is doing a bad job and needs to be recalled.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, shortly after the election, Breed insisted that she was not looking for a DA who would turn away from criminal justice reforms, which are broadly popular in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sentiment was echoed by DeBerry.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11916701,news_11913102,news_11908825\"]“I think it would be extremely unfortunate for San Francisco to move away from reform,” she said. “There has been a long history in this city and county of looking for better approaches [than tough-on-crime policies] to creating safety.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/LondonBreed/status/1470830101348577285\">Breed has been critical of what she sees as the city’s lax response to crime\u003c/a>, the DA can only prosecute suspects that the SFPD actually arrest. Many city officials and residents have criticized the police department for its extremely low arrest rates for common crimes like auto break-ins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But attorney Doug Chan, who supported the recall, said that, within the Chinese community, “the perception was that the continued tenure of Chesa Boudin in the DA’s office constituted, in effect, a public health hazard.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, post-election analyses showed that some of the highest levels of support for the recall came in neighborhoods with large percentages of Asian American voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t believe there is a great groundswell of support in this town, in the Chinese community, to jail our way out of the issue,” Chan said. But, he added, “there has to be a better means of holding individuals accountable for doing bad acts out on the streets and for injury and, in some cases, even death.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin, who had been a public defender but never a prosecutor, kept many of his campaign promises, including his increased reliance on diversion programs as alternatives to prosecution and incarceration, and of holding police accountable for misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that Breed has made her choice for the city’s top prosecutor, she will own perceptions, as well as realities, about crime in the city and how police, the DA and the courts are responding to it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin has not ruled out another run for the office, which would set up an epic clash and likely more hyperbolic coverage of San Francisco by national media outlets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assuming Jenkins wins in November, she will be on the ballot with Breed as the mayor seeks reelection in 2023, and Breed will no doubt do everything she can to help her succeed.[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

She worked her way up to the general felonies unit, where she prosecuted hate crimes for nearly two years, and then served in the homicide unit until her resignation in protest last fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11919024\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/001_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-1.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11919024 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/001_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-1.jpg\" alt=\"A smiling woman covered in shadow walks across a room.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1278\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/001_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-1.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/001_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-1-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/001_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-1-1020x679.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/001_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-1-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/001_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-1-1536x1022.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brooke Jenkins, Mayor London Breed’s pick for district attorney, enters a press conference at City Hall on July 7, 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Set to be sworn in Friday, she will take over an office that has seen more than its share of turnover in recent years.

She also met with advocates for crime victims, as well as supporters and opponents of Boudin’s recall, the source said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed reportedly asked potential appointees for their take on issues such as how to prosecute domestic violence, drug arrests and weapons charges. According to the mayor’s office, Breed wanted someone with prosecutorial experience who also was a supporter of criminal justice reform.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Breed did not take a formal position on Boudin’s recall, she had openly criticized his leadership, and it was evident she supported his removal from office, two-and-a-half years after he edged out her handpicked appointee, Suzy Loftus, in a very close election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11919059\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS57119_005_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-qut.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11919059\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS57119_005_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-qut.jpg\" alt=\"Mayor London Breed stands at a podium, her right hand extended,with a California and American flag behind her, introducing Brooke Jenkins - standing to her right — as San Francisco's new district attorney.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS57119_005_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS57119_005_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS57119_005_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS57119_005_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/RS57119_005_KQED_DABrookeJenkins_07072022-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">New San Francisco district attorney Brooke Jenkins listens to Mayor London Breed introduce her during a press conference at City Hall on July 7, 2022. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In addition to Jenkins, the mayor also reportedly considered Alameda County Deputy District Attorney Nancy Tung, who ran unsuccessfully for the job in 2019. Other potential candidates included SF Superior Court Judge Eric Fleming, a former prosecutor in the DA’s office, and Supervisor Catherine Stefani, who endorsed Boudin’s recall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Efforts to recall Boudin, a progressive reformer, began not long after he took office in 2020, just as the pandemic began turning life upside down. San Francisco’s courts were included in the mass shutdown of in-person government operations, resulting in much slower prosecutions and resolutions of pending cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin’s tenure also coincided with a sharp rise in anti-Asian hate crimes — both in San Francisco and across the country — as well as viral videos of organized “smash-and-grab” incidents at upscale stores in Union Square that fueled a general but often unfounded perception that crime was rising and Boudin was to blame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think people being alone, people being isolated and existing through social media kind of led to a heightened sense that our city wasn’t safe, and [Boudin] took the blame for it,” said former police commissioner and recall opponent John Hamasaki. “He took the fall for it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hamasaki, who was a strong critic of the San Francisco Police Department while he served as commissioner, noted that although the recall was framed by national media as a referendum on Boudin’s progressive policies, “within the recall crowd, there was never any specificity as to what they wanted — just that Boudin is doing a bad job and needs to be recalled.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, shortly after the election, Breed insisted that she was not looking for a DA who would turn away from criminal justice reforms, which are broadly popular in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sentiment was echoed by DeBerry.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
