(Courtesy of the San Francisco Public Defender's Office)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 12:45 p.m.:\u003c/strong> A jury has convicted San Francisco police Officer Arshad Razzak on federal charges for illegally searching the room of drug suspects. Razzak was also charged with falsifying a police report to make the warrantless search appear legal. Fellow plainclothes officer Richard Yick was found not guilty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nA federal jury began deliberations Wednesday in a criminal trial of two San Francisco plainclothes police officers charged with conspiring to illegally search the hotel rooms of drug suspects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The charges against officers Arshad Razzak and Richard Yick stem from a warrantless entry into a hotel room on Dec. 23, 2010. Razzak allegedly got a tip from a confidential informant that a male and a female were in Room 504 at the Henry Hotel, a single-room-occupancy hotel on Sixth Street, with a large quantity of heroin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Razzak and Yick met two other Southern District plainclothes officers, Arthur Madrid and Robert Forenis, outside the hotel. Madrid and Forenis specialized in auto burglaries, but the plainclothes unit was short that day so they showed up to assist in the raid. The four launched a loose plan to secure the room and then get a search warrant, according to Yick’s testimony.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a search warrant was never part of the plan, federal prosecutors said, and instead officers were engaged in a conspiracy to violate civil rights of drug suspects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his closing arguments, federal prosecutor Rodney Villazor described how a “run-of-the-mill” narcotics possession case became part of an ongoing black eye for the SFPD, when in March 2011 the San Francisco Public Defender’s Office \u003ca href=\"http://sfpublicdefender.org/news/2011/03/video-reveals-police-misconduct-perjury/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A%20SFPublicDefender%20%28San%20Francisco%20Public%20Defender%29\" target=\"_blank\">released\u003c/a> Henry Hotel security camera footage of the raid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFwr9lJP35U\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s the second federal criminal trial against SFPD plainclothes officers in recent months as investigations into the videos make their way through the criminal justice system. Two other officers were \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Two-San-Francisco-police-officers-convicted-in-5937963.php\" target=\"_blank\">convicted\u003c/a> of taking money from drug suspects and pocketing it, among other charges, in December. They have not yet been sentenced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What was on the video was irreconcilable with what was in the police report,” Villazor told the jury. “Why? Because Arshad Razzak was falsifying, falsifying it to cover up their actions … to go into Jessica Richmond’s room without a warrant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorneys argued officers had the right to enter the room without a warrant because there were exigent circumstances, an exception to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement. Police had reason to believe the heroin would be moved, and soon. But the raid became confused, with some officers testifying they believed they would “freeze” the room from outside and get a warrant, while at least one of the officers thought the plan was to enter the apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Freeze the Room’ or ‘Key the Door?’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The security camera video shows four officers, Yick in front, charging onto the fifth floor of the Henry Hotel. Yick covers one of the cameras with his hand while the other three officers pass him. He testified that this was common practice, to keep the hotel’s desk clerk from alerting residents that police were coming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there were other cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Madrid now in the lead, the officers turned a corner and approached Room 504. Somehow, Madrid had a master key, but none of the officers who testified could remember how he got it, including Madrid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yick testified that he understood the idea to “freeze the room” to mean to lock it down from the outside, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as he rounded the corner, he saw Madrid walk directly to the door with Forenis and Razzak behind him. He appeared to immediately insert the key and open the door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It wasn’t the plan,” Yick testified. “That’s not freezing the room.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal prosecutors granted Madrid immunity from prosecution in the case in exchange for his testimony. He said Razzak told him to “key the door.” Yick and Forenis said they never heard that order. Razzak did not testify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video shows Madrid pushing into the room with Forenis on his left, Razzak and Yick on his right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As soon as he noticed Madrid opening the door, Yick testified, he switched his role from “freezing the room” to backup for the entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once someone’s going in, your first role is to back that officer up,” Yick said. “This is where you can get killed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to federal prosecutors, the moment officers entered the room without a search warrant, a conspiracy to violate the civil rights of the resident had launched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The real plan was just to enter the room,” Villazor told the jury. “They were not going to freeze it. … This is the moment.

Two other officers were \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Two-San-Francisco-police-officers-convicted-in-5937963.php\" target=\"_blank\">convicted\u003c/a> of taking money from drug suspects and pocketing it, among other charges, in December. They have not yet been sentenced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What was on the video was irreconcilable with what was in the police report,” Villazor told the jury. “Why? Because Arshad Razzak was falsifying, falsifying it to cover up their actions … to go into Jessica Richmond’s room without a warrant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorneys argued officers had the right to enter the room without a warrant because there were exigent circumstances, an exception to the Fourth Amendment’s warrant requirement. Police had reason to believe the heroin would be moved, and soon. But the raid became confused, with some officers testifying they believed they would “freeze” the room from outside and get a warrant, while at least one of the officers thought the plan was to enter the apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>‘Freeze the Room’ or ‘Key the Door?’\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The security camera video shows four officers, Yick in front, charging onto the fifth floor of the Henry Hotel. Yick covers one of the cameras with his hand while the other three officers pass him. He testified that this was common practice, to keep the hotel’s desk clerk from alerting residents that police were coming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there were other cameras.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Madrid now in the lead, the officers turned a corner and approached Room 504. Somehow, Madrid had a master key, but none of the officers who testified could remember how he got it, including Madrid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yick testified that he understood the idea to “freeze the room” to mean to lock it down from the outside, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as he rounded the corner, he saw Madrid walk directly to the door with Forenis and Razzak behind him. He appeared to immediately insert the key and open the door.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It wasn’t the plan,” Yick testified. “That’s not freezing the room.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal prosecutors granted Madrid immunity from prosecution in the case in exchange for his testimony. He said Razzak told him to “key the door.” Yick and Forenis said they never heard that order. Razzak did not testify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The video shows Madrid pushing into the room with Forenis on his left, Razzak and Yick on his right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As soon as he noticed Madrid opening the door, Yick testified, he switched his role from “freezing the room” to backup for the entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Once someone’s going in, your first role is to back that officer up,” Yick said. “This is where you can get killed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to federal prosecutors, the moment officers entered the room without a search warrant, a conspiracy to violate the civil rights of the resident had launched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The real plan was just to enter the room,” Villazor told the jury. “They were not going to freeze it. … This is the moment. This is the part they want to cover up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Razzak’s defense attorney, Michael Rains, told the jury that officers were doing their job lawfully, as they understood it.

Sheehan was living in a Mission District co-op for people with mental illness at the time. When the social worker went to check on her, she threatened him with a knife. When the officers arrived, she threatened to stab them, too, then shut the door to her apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The officers re-entered her room by force.

From the 9th Circuit opinion:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Turning to an issue of first impression, we join the majority of circuits that have addressed the issue and hold that Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act applies to arrests. But we emphasize, as have those other circuits, that the exigencies surrounding police officers’ decisions in the field must be taken into account when assessing the reasonableness of the officers’ actions. We hold that, on the facts presented here, there is a triable issue whether the officers failed to reasonably accommodate Sheehan’s disability when they forced their way back into her room without taking her mental illness into account or employing generally accepted police practices for peaceably resolving a confrontation with a person with mental illness.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The holding that the ADA applies to arrests is law in the 9th Circuit, but Sheehan's civil trial is on hold while the city's appeal is before the Supreme Court. Oral arguments in the case are expected to be scheduled for late March or early April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two questions before the Supreme Court: whether the ADA \"requires law enforcement officers to provide accommodations to an armed, violent, and mentally ill suspect in the course of bringing the suspect into custody,\" and whether the officers' second entry into Sheehan's apartment was unreasonable under the Forth Amendment \"by reason of the anticipated resistance of an armed and violent suspect within.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy City Attorney Peter Keith is representing San Francisco in the case. He said the city agrees that the ADA should apply to arrests, but there is disagreement about what that means.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10401680\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Teresa_Sheehan_photo-cropped.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10401680\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Teresa_Sheehan_photo-cropped-400x279.jpg\" alt=\"Teresa Sheehan (Courtesy of Frances Sheehan)\" width=\"400\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Teresa_Sheehan_photo-cropped-400x279.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Teresa_Sheehan_photo-cropped.jpg 464w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Teresa Sheehan at Christmas dinner in 2014.

Her attorneys appealed that decision, and last February, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals \u003ca href=\"http://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opinions/2014/02/21/11-16401.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">reversed the district court's ruling\u003c/a>, saying the suit could move forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the issues remanded to the trial court by the 9th Circuit, disability advocacy groups are most in support of the ADA's application to interactions with law enforcement. From the 9th Circuit opinion:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Turning to an issue of first impression, we join the majority of circuits that have addressed the issue and hold that Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act applies to arrests. But we emphasize, as have those other circuits, that the exigencies surrounding police officers’ decisions in the field must be taken into account when assessing the reasonableness of the officers’ actions. We hold that, on the facts presented here, there is a triable issue whether the officers failed to reasonably accommodate Sheehan’s disability when they forced their way back into her room without taking her mental illness into account or employing generally accepted police practices for peaceably resolving a confrontation with a person with mental illness.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The holding that the ADA applies to arrests is law in the 9th Circuit, but Sheehan's civil trial is on hold while the city's appeal is before the Supreme Court. Oral arguments in the case are expected to be scheduled for late March or early April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are two questions before the Supreme Court: whether the ADA \"requires law enforcement officers to provide accommodations to an armed, violent, and mentally ill suspect in the course of bringing the suspect into custody,\" and whether the officers' second entry into Sheehan's apartment was unreasonable under the Forth Amendment \"by reason of the anticipated resistance of an armed and violent suspect within.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deputy City Attorney Peter Keith is representing San Francisco in the case. He said the city agrees that the ADA should apply to arrests, but there is disagreement about what that means.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10401680\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Teresa_Sheehan_photo-cropped.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10401680\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Teresa_Sheehan_photo-cropped-400x279.jpg\" alt=\"Teresa Sheehan (Courtesy of Frances Sheehan)\" width=\"400\" height=\"279\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Teresa_Sheehan_photo-cropped-400x279.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Teresa_Sheehan_photo-cropped.jpg 464w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Teresa Sheehan at Christmas dinner in 2014.

An attorney for Le Moullac's family has said it shows the truck making an unsafe lane change, overtaking the bike lane with Le Moullac in it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Le Moullac's death and \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/08/27/108647/\">the shoddy investigation by police \u003c/a>galvanized safe streets advocates, who demanded the San Francisco Police Department reform its procedures for handling collisions involving drivers and bicyclists and pedestrians. The advocates said it was typical of the way investigators handle these types of crashes, and explains why drivers are rarely charged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the video evidence, San Francisco prosecutors \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/05/13/no-charges-for-driver-in-death-of-bicyclist-amelie-le-moullac\">declined to file charges\u003c/a>, saying it would be difficult to land a jury conviction for vehicular manslaughter. The attorneys for Le Moullac's family say the lawsuit is \"their last chance for justice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In court, Veen said Le Moullac was wearing a helmet but her head was crushed and she was left bleeding in a crosswalk at the intersection of Folsom and Sixth streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Muni driver passing the scene around 7 a.m. brought a bus full of passengers to a stop and rushed to Le Moullac's side. The driver, Anna Contreras, a former Army medic, fought tears on the witness stand as she described how she found Le Moullac unconscious and breathing shallowly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Le Moullac was transported to San Francisco General Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 8:20 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Driver's Conflicting Stories\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veen said Le Moullac was alert and \"doing everything within the law\" when she was riding her bike, heading to the Caltrain station at Fourth and King streets. He accused Alcantar of giving conflicting stories, and said he failed to change lanes safely -- as the law requires -- and, based on a witness account -- did not have a turn signal on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veen said Alcantar saw Le Moullac pedaling eastbound and passed her on Folsom Street, but later lost sight of her -- and without slowing down, turned right across the bike lane, southbound onto Sixth Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She didn't have a chance. It was unavoidable for her but very avoidable for Mr. Alcantar,\" said Veen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than dial 911, Veen said Alcantar stopped the truck and called his employer after running over Le Moullac while other people came to her side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his opening statements, Alcantar's attorney, Brent Anderson, alleged Le Moullac was wearing earbuds and was distracted. A photo displayed in court showed a piece of Le Moullac's helmet found at the scene tangled in what Alcantar's attorney said were earbuds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That allegation was disputed by Contreras, the Muni driver, who testified the helmet was \"intact\" and Le Moullac did not have any buds in her ears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson claimed the truck slowed to 7 mph before turning onto Sixth Street, and that Alcantar did use his signal. He alleged Le Moullac was riding \"two times as fast\" and \"caught the truck and was passing it on the right while the truck was making a right.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Those were the choices that she made,\" Anderson told jurors. \"We think it is unfair to blame Mr. Alcantar for this accident.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson said bicyclists have an \"obligation\" to pass on the left of a right-turning vehicle, which is good safety advice but not actually the law, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/pubs/vctop/vc/d11/c3/a3/21755\">the California Vehicle Code\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That same passing advice was \u003ca href=\"http://sf.streetsblog.org/2013/08/21/at-safe-streets-rally-sfpd-blocks-bike-lane-to-make-point-of-victim-blaming/\">told to bike advocates by an SFPD sergeant \u003c/a>who blocked the bike lane at a memorial for Le Moullac. The sergeant, who was later disciplined, had blamed Le Moullac and other cyclists who have been killed for their deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law says that bicyclists have the right-of-way in a bike lane, and right-turning drivers are \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agPJRSEuqw8\">supposed to safely merge into the bike lane\u003c/a> where the solid line becomes dashed, and yield to bicyclists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Le Moullac's family filled one side of the small courtroom. Her mother and father wept at times. Veen described their daughter \"as the glue that held the family together.\" Alcantar, dressed in a black suit, sat on the opposite side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trial in San Francisco Superior Court is expected to last a few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The advocates said it was typical of the way investigators handle these types of crashes, and explains why drivers are rarely charged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the video evidence, San Francisco prosecutors \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/05/13/no-charges-for-driver-in-death-of-bicyclist-amelie-le-moullac\">declined to file charges\u003c/a>, saying it would be difficult to land a jury conviction for vehicular manslaughter. The attorneys for Le Moullac's family say the lawsuit is \"their last chance for justice.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The driver, Anna Contreras, a former Army medic, fought tears on the witness stand as she described how she found Le Moullac unconscious and breathing shallowly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Le Moullac was transported to San Francisco General Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 8:20 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Driver's Conflicting Stories\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veen said Le Moullac was alert and \"doing everything within the law\" when she was riding her bike, heading to the Caltrain station at Fourth and King streets. He accused Alcantar of giving conflicting stories, and said he failed to change lanes safely -- as the law requires -- and, based on a witness account -- did not have a turn signal on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veen said Alcantar saw Le Moullac pedaling eastbound and passed her on Folsom Street, but later lost sight of her -- and without slowing down, turned right across the bike lane, southbound onto Sixth Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"She didn't have a chance. It was unavoidable for her but very avoidable for Mr. Alcantar,\" said Veen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than dial 911, Veen said Alcantar stopped the truck and called his employer after running over Le Moullac while other people came to her side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his opening statements, Alcantar's attorney, Brent Anderson, alleged Le Moullac was wearing earbuds and was distracted. A photo displayed in court showed a piece of Le Moullac's helmet found at the scene tangled in what Alcantar's attorney said were earbuds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That allegation was disputed by Contreras, the Muni driver, who testified the helmet was \"intact\" and Le Moullac did not have any buds in her ears.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson claimed the truck slowed to 7 mph before turning onto Sixth Street, and that Alcantar did use his signal. He alleged Le Moullac was riding \"two times as fast\" and \"caught the truck and was passing it on the right while the truck was making a right.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Those were the choices that she made,\" Anderson told jurors. \"We think it is unfair to blame Mr. Alcantar for this accident.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson said bicyclists have an \"obligation\" to pass on the left of a right-turning vehicle, which is good safety advice but not actually the law, according to \u003ca href=\"http://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/dmv/detail/pubs/vctop/vc/d11/c3/a3/21755\">the California Vehicle Code\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That same passing advice was \u003ca href=\"http://sf.streetsblog.org/2013/08/21/at-safe-streets-rally-sfpd-blocks-bike-lane-to-make-point-of-victim-blaming/\">told to bike advocates by an SFPD sergeant \u003c/a>who blocked the bike lane at a memorial for Le Moullac. The sergeant, who was later disciplined, had blamed Le Moullac and other cyclists who have been killed for their deaths.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law says that bicyclists have the right-of-way in a bike lane, and right-turning drivers are \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agPJRSEuqw8\">supposed to safely merge into the bike lane\u003c/a> where the solid line becomes dashed, and yield to bicyclists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Le Moullac's family filled one side of the small courtroom. Her mother and father wept at times. Veen described their daughter \"as the glue that held the family together.\" Alcantar, dressed in a black suit, sat on the opposite side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trial in San Francisco Superior Court is expected to last a few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Police are repeatedly requested to switch to a different radio channel to discuss the shooting, so this audio may not include all of the chatter about the incident.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dispatch audio did not capture the sounds of the shooting, but Nieto's friend, Ben Bac Sierra, said he obtained audio of what sounds like multiple gunshots from a nearby private security camera.
