The district attorney charged Hall for Arboleda’s death the same day the sheriff’s office released \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11870567/video-footage-of-tyrell-wilson-killing-released-as-same-danville-officer-charged-in-another-death\">body camera video of the second incident\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hall’s attorney, Harry Stern, said he would likely appeal the assault conviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to be looking at that very closely,” Stern said. “It’s really a sad day for Andrew Hall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff’s office, which has a contract to provide police services to Danville, had cleared Hall of misconduct after a nine-month investigation into Arboleda’s shooting. Hall has been on paid administrative leave since the shooting of Wilson, which remains under investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Although I wish the jury had returned a not-guilty verdict on all counts, I respect their service,” Contra Costa Sheriff David Livingston said in a statement. “We ask our officers to make split-second decisions and many of the jurors understood that. I urge DA Becton not to retry this case.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Livingston went on to suggest that Becton’s involvement in the case was politically motivated. “I also urge her to take down the posts on her reelection campaign social media where she touts this prosecution,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors left the Martinez courtroom without comment, heading back to their office with Arboleda’s family. The DA’s office can retry the case, and the judge set a Jan. 14 court date for a new trial motion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A separate federal \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11707354/family-files-claim-over-deadly-danville-police-shooting-sheriff-criticizes-well-worn-race-card\">civil lawsuit against Hall filed by Arboleda’s mother\u003c/a> is also proceeding toward trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adante Pointer, one of the attorneys representing Arboleda’s family in a civil suit, called Tuesday’s outcome “partial justice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But it was a big step towards holding Andrew Hall responsible and accountable for needlessly taking this young man’s life,” he said. “But the fight isn’t over. … We still feel there’s more justice to be had.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post includes additional reporting from KQED’s Alex Emslie and Sukey Lewis as well as Bay City News and The Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The case is among the first of several involving Bay Area police officers to go to trial — all officers have been \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11849253/charges-have-been-filed-against-police-officers-in-the-bay-this-year-why-just-now\">charged with manslaughter\u003c/a> within the past year for \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11845941/ex-deputy-arrested-charges-pending-in-sonoma-county-slaying\">on-duty slayings\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Notably, the jury will not hear about Hall’s more recent deadly \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/death-of-george-floyd-california-business-race-and-ethnicity-racial-injustice-1761be7396c1508e8703920161bf26c1\">shooting of Tyrell Wilson\u003c/a> this past March. The district attorney charged Hall for Arboleda’s homicide the same day the sheriff’s office released \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11870567/video-footage-of-tyrell-wilson-killing-released-as-same-danville-officer-charged-in-another-death\">body camera video of the second incident\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was Mr. Arboleda who made a series of decisions that forced Andrew Hall to make a life-and-death decision in seconds,” Hall’s attorney Nicole Pifari said during her opening statement. “He had seconds, milliseconds, to react and defend himself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In making their cases, both sides referred to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11789945/video-of-fatal-danville-police-shooting-shows-officer-firing-at-slow-moving-vehicle\">video of the shooting\u003c/a>, which was captured from multiple angles on police dash and body cameras, as part of footage the sheriff’s office released publicly in late 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gleason began her opening statement without speaking, the sound of police sirens blaring in the video, as Hall is seen firing a volley of shots at Arboleda’s car while it drives narrowly past him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, as the video played in slow motion, Gleason counted each gunshot.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_11870567,news_11707354\"]“Ten shots. The deputy fired 10 shots into the slow-moving vehicle of a mentally ill man,” she said. “You will find his response was excessive, unnecessary and unreasonable, and you will find him guilty as charged.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, Pifari countered that Hall ran into the gap between his and his sergeant’s patrol cars, thinking that Arboleda had given up the chase, but was then taken by surprise when the suspect’s car headed directly toward him. She said video shows the car steered away from Hall after he started firing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This was an extremely close call,” Pifari said. “Andrew Hall fired at the driver to get him to stop or slow down or maybe change course a little bit, and it worked.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former Sgt. Chris Martin, who was at the scene of the shooting, testified Monday that he feared being hit by Hall’s gunfire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin said he and five deputies were working in Danville that day — Nov. 3, 2018 — as contract officers for the city, when they responded to a late-morning call about a suspicious person.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are fairly common calls,” Martin said, adding that they usually turn out to be false alarms — a salesperson, perhaps, or someone looking for a friend’s house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the judge’s request, Martin wore a plastic face shield while on the witness stand, allowing him to remove his mask so the jury could see his face as he testified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the dashcam video of the incident, two of the officers spot Arboleda’s car and try to pull him over. His car stops several times during the 7-minute pursuit, but pulls away right when the officers step out of their patrol cars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In court, Martin recalled being concerned about the radio traffic he listened to that day, and left the station to join the pursuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Something just raised the hairs on the back of my head,” he said. “Something might go wrong with this call.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assistant District Attorney Christopher Walpole asked Martin about a brief discussion officers had over the radio in which they considered terminating the pursuit — and whether the severity of any suspected crime would have factored into that decision. Martin testified that a car chase might be “not worth it,” and said he grew increasingly concerned as Arboleda headed toward downtown Danville.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you just robbed a bank, we’re probably going to chase you more vigorously than if you stole a soda from 7-Eleven,” Martin said from the witness stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that Arboleda was not initially suspected of any crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arboleda’s family members have said he had been struggling with mental illness, but declined to go into further detail. In late 2019, the Sheriff’s Department also reported that Newark Police had “committed Arboleda for psychiatric evaluation” months before his death, and that he had several contacts with law enforcement after that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recordings and radio dialogue from the deadly incident show Hall driving past Martin and turning from Diablo Road onto Front Street, partially blocking Arboleda’s path. Martin then pulls up nearly parallel to Hall’s vehicle, leaving a narrow gap between the two patrol cars, with space on either side of the wide road to drive around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arboleda stops, then slowly accelerates into the gap as Hall gets out of his patrol car and starts to run around it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin said he wasn’t looking at Hall, but he knew roughly where his deputy was when he heard the first shot fired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I kind of closed my eyes and braced,” he said. “I thought that I may get shot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Martin is scheduled to continue testifying Tuesday, and is likely to be followed by other officers who were also at the scene of the shooting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A separate federal \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11707354/family-files-claim-over-deadly-danville-police-shooting-sheriff-criticizes-well-worn-race-card\">civil lawsuit against Hall filed by Arboleda’s mother\u003c/a> is also proceeding toward trial.

"content": "\u003cp>Measure Y, the hotly contested open space initiative in the East Bay city of Danville, was still ahead as of March 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Voters were \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11800869/a-danville-ballot-measure-sparks-debate-over-open-space\">asked to \u003c/a>authorize residential and trail development on a privately owned 400-acre plot of land. Support for the development plans have so far received more than 54% support, with all precincts reporting. For ongoing results see KQED’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/elections/results/contracosta\">updated election result page\u003c/a>. County election officials will officially announce whether the measure passed a month after the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure has pit neighbors, who dread the heavy road congestion, against city leaders and environmental groups who want to use the land for recreation and preservation and are willing to allow for some development in order to make that happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The land is south of the entrance to Mount Diablo State Park. For 70 years, it’s been owned by the Magee family as a ranch, and the proprietors reaped tax benefits through \u003ca href=\"https://www.conservation.ca.gov/dlrp/lca\">California’s Williamson Act\u003c/a> to keep the land undeveloped. [aside tag=\"election2020\" label=\"More Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In July of last year, the Danville Town Council unanimously approved developer Davidon Homes’ plan for the latest development, dubbed Magee Preserve. The plan would cluster 69 single-family homes on 29 acres and permanently dedicate the remaining 381 acres as an open space for hiking and biking trails.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But neighbors pushed back and accrued enough signatures to fight the plan with this ballot measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If it passes, the developer can begin building. If the measure fails, the deal brokered by the city — 10 years in the making — will die, and the owners will have to go back to the drawing board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Danville Mayor Karen Stepper, who has championed the measure, said the “no” voters were being unrealistic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that people who vote no think that they can just stop all projects and all development,” she said. “That is absolutely not true, and especially right now in the state of California, where building has been given such a high priority.” [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Confusingly, both sides of the debate said they were for “open space” in the run up to Election Day. The “No” side formed the “Danville Open Space Committee,” while the “Yes” side’s signs proclaimed “Yes on Open Space and Trails.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stepper said the confusion over the names may have led to complications with voting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that when people don’t quite understand the two sides, then sometimes they don’t understand what the benefits are,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bob Nealis, the head of the “No” campaign, is a close neighbor of the Magee property. He said he’s still hoping for a victory, despite trailing slightly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless, he said the campaign and Danville residents will live with the outcome, whatever it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If it passes, then that development is going to begin and they’ll do it,” he said. “We certainly hope that some of the things we forecasted as a result of this development don’t come to pass, but we’ll all just live with it and move on.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Support for the development plans have so far received more than 54% support, with all precincts reporting. For ongoing results see KQED’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/elections/results/contracosta\">updated election result page\u003c/a>. County election officials will officially announce whether the measure passed a month after the election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure has pit neighbors, who dread the heavy road congestion, against city leaders and environmental groups who want to use the land for recreation and preservation and are willing to allow for some development in order to make that happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The land is south of the entrance to Mount Diablo State Park. For 70 years, it’s been owned by the Magee family as a ranch, and the proprietors reaped tax benefits through \u003ca href=\"https://www.conservation.ca.gov/dlrp/lca\">California’s Williamson Act\u003c/a> to keep the land undeveloped. \u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>The mother of a 33-year-old man fatally shot while he was driving by a Danville police officer on Nov. 3 filed a legal claim against the small East Bay town on Monday, alleging negligence and recklessness caused the wrongful death of Laudemer Arboleda.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Family members released a dozen doves after a funeral service for Arboleda in Fremont on Monday. Civil rights attorney John Burris spoke with reporters after the ceremony. He pointed out photographs of Arboleda's car, showing approximately seven bullet holes in the passenger side of the windshield. Burris said that indicates the officer could have stepped out of the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The officer was easily in a position of safety if he wanted to be,\" Burris said. \"He chose to shoot into that car when he could have easily avoided any type of incident.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers attempted to pull Arboleda over shortly after 11 a.m. on Nov. 3 after receiving a call about a suspicious person, according to the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office, which polices Danville under contract. Specifically, a caller described Arboleda walking \"toward several homes with bags in his hands\" and then going \"back to his car,\" according to the Sheriff's Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arboleda, of Newark, twice pulled over when deputies acting as Danville police tried to pull him over, according to the Sheriff's Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As officers exited their cars, the suspect fled in his vehicle continuing to lead the officers in a pursuit,\" the Sheriff's Office said in a written statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Front Street and Diablo Road, Arboleda allegedly \"steered his vehicle toward an officer and accelerated,\" the Sheriff's Office said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris said witnesses dispute that key part of the account.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a witness who said that the car was moving slowly and that he was trying to move away, and that there didn’t appear to be any reason why the police would shoot into the car,\" Burris said, adding that some jurisdictions, including San Francisco, prohibit officers from shooting at moving vehicles in most cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris said he isn't claiming racism led to the shooting, but he described Arboleda — who was Filipino — as a brown man killed in a white neighborhood by a white police officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"All I know is that he was a colored person, he was driving a car, and he was shot by a white police officer under circumstances that were unjustified,\" Burris said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sheriff's Office has identified Andrew Hall, a sheriff's deputy for five years, as the shooting officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is a tragic case, yet once again John Burris is reaching for his well-worn race card,\" Sheriff David Livingston said in a written statement. \"This is not about race. This is about a dangerous and reckless person trying to run down and murder a police officer.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The sheriff said he looks forward to sharing more details about the case with the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burris and Arboleda's family decried the sheriff's decision to withhold video of the shooting until a coroner's inquest, which is expected in several months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have not received any information from authorities as to what actually took place on that day,\" said Arboleda's niece, Jessica Leong. \"As much as we would like to have justice for my uncle, we also want to know what really took place on that day, and why Danville police took the actions that they did.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Family members said Arboleda had struggled with mental illness in the past year, but declined to go into further detail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My son is a good person,\" said Arboleda's mother, Jeannie Atienza. \"He doesn’t have any criminal record at all, and he is a good son. I want justice for my son. ... I will fight, we will fight for him.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

Civil rights attorney John Burris spoke with reporters after the ceremony. He pointed out photographs of Arboleda's car, showing approximately seven bullet holes in the passenger side of the windshield. Burris said that indicates the officer could have stepped out of the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The officer was easily in a position of safety if he wanted to be,\" Burris said. \"He chose to shoot into that car when he could have easily avoided any type of incident.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officers attempted to pull Arboleda over shortly after 11 a.m. on Nov. 3 after receiving a call about a suspicious person, according to the Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office, which polices Danville under contract. Specifically, a caller described Arboleda walking \"toward several homes with bags in his hands\" and then going \"back to his car,\" according to the Sheriff's Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arboleda, of Newark, twice pulled over when deputies acting as Danville police tried to pull him over, according to the Sheriff's Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
