Gavin Newsom signed an executive order halting executions of death row inmates for as long as he is in office. California currently has more than 700 inmates on death row, more than any other state, and has not executed a death row inmate since 2006. Newsom said he cannot sign off on executing hundreds of human beings, knowing there are innocent people among them. Also this week, a number of Californians, including actresses and prominent business figures, have been charged in a widespread college admissions scam involving parents who allegedly bribed athletic coaches or paid people to cheat on college entrance exams to help get their kids into Stanford, USC and other top schools. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scott Shafer, KQED senior editor of California Politics and Government\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sean Walsh, Republican political consultant, Wilson Walsh Consulting\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jill Tucker, education reporter, San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>San Francisco’s New Public Defender\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On Monday, San Francisco Mayor London Breed appointed Manohar Raju to be San Francisco’s next public defender.

In 2010, Adachi placed Proposition B on the San Francisco ballot aimed at increasing city employee contributions to their health and pension benefits.

The state’s highest court initially took up the issues raised in Humphrey’s case to determine under what circumstances a defendant can be jailed — with no chance to bail out — before he or she has been convicted of a crime. The court also asked whether judges can consider public safety in setting bail amounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, the Supreme Court requested additional arguments on how SB 10 affects the issues in Humphrey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin says that according to \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CONS§ionNum=SEC.%2012.&article=I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Article 1 Section 12\u003c/a> of the California Constitution, there are only three sets of circumstances in which a defendant can be held before trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A person shall be released on bail by sufficient sureties, except for:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(a) Capital crimes when the facts are evident or the presumption great;\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(b) Felony offenses involving acts of violence on another person, or felony sexual assault offenses on another person, when the facts are evident or the presumption great and the court finds based upon clear and convincing evidence that there is a substantial likelihood the person’s release would result in great bodily harm to others; or\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(c) Felony offenses when the facts are evident or the presumption great and the court finds based on clear and convincing evidence that the person has threatened another with great bodily harm and that there is a substantial likelihood that the person would carry out the threat if released.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón is arguing that the constitution isn’t that restrictive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Article 12 was originally passed back in the late 1800s, all felonies were capital offenses,” Gascón said. “The world has evolved tremendously, and there are many cases where you have felonies that are not capital offenses, and they are not necessarily dangerous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also many other crimes that are no longer capital offenses, he said, but are very dangerous. Gascón argues that another provision of the constitution — \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CONS§ionNum=SEC.%2028.&article=I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Article 28\u003c/a> — lets judges more broadly consider the danger a defendant could pose when deciding to release or hold someone before trial.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003cbr>\nBut here is where the arguments of both sides get more complicated. Ten years ago, voters amended Article 28 when they passed \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/victimservices/marsys_law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marsy’s Law\u003c/a>. It says that judges should consider the safety of the crime victim when setting bail and releasing a defendant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin said when voters passed Marsy’s Law, they never intended to repeal Article 12. He’s arguing that the narrower provision of the state constitution controls when defendants can be held in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gascón’s argument to the Supreme Court is that Articles 12 and 28 can be “harmonized” to work together to protect public safety and preserve the fundamental rights of people who have yet to be found guilty of any crime.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, it will be to be up to the California Supreme Court to decide which side has it right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we have now,” Gascón said, “is we have a great deal of uncertainty in the field both for the prosecutor, the defense and the courts, as to when you can hold someone on pretrial detention.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11666269/s-f-man-whose-case-upended-californias-bail-system-wins-release\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">S.F.

Across the state, industry representatives are gathering signatures for a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/administration/news-releases-and-advisories/2018-news-releases-and-advisories/proposed-referendum-enters-circulation/\">referendum to overturn SB 10\u003c/a>. Harmeet Dhillon, an attorney for the California Bail Agents Association, said she is 95 percent certain that bail proponents will be able to gather the necessary signatures in time for a Nov. 26 deadline. If so, the issue would then go back to voters in 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So that means a two-year stay [of SB 10] at a minimum,” Dhillon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This constitutional debate has in some ways united the bail industry and the civil rights community, both of which oppose SB 10 for different reasons. For bail companies, it represents an existential threat throughout California. Civil rights groups say the law will result in more jail time for poor defendants — just at a judge’s discretion instead of through unpayable bail amounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhillon said even if the bail industry’s referendum fails, she expects the civil rights and defense attorneys to file legal challenges to SB 10 as soon as it goes into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The state’s highest court initially took up the issues raised in Humphrey’s case to determine under what circumstances a defendant can be jailed — with no chance to bail out — before he or she has been convicted of a crime. The court also asked whether judges can consider public safety in setting bail amounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, the Supreme Court requested additional arguments on how SB 10 affects the issues in Humphrey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boudin says that according to \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CONS§ionNum=SEC.%2012.&article=I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Article 1 Section 12\u003c/a> of the California Constitution, there are only three sets of circumstances in which a defendant can be held before trial.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A person shall be released on bail by sufficient sureties, except for:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(a) Capital crimes when the facts are evident or the presumption great;\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(b) Felony offenses involving acts of violence on another person, or felony sexual assault offenses on another person, when the facts are evident or the presumption great and the court finds based upon clear and convincing evidence that there is a substantial likelihood the person’s release would result in great bodily harm to others; or\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(c) Felony offenses when the facts are evident or the presumption great and the court finds based on clear and convincing evidence that the person has threatened another with great bodily harm and that there is a substantial likelihood that the person would carry out the threat if released.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón is arguing that the constitution isn’t that restrictive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When Article 12 was originally passed back in the late 1800s, all felonies were capital offenses,” Gascón said. “The world has evolved tremendously, and there are many cases where you have felonies that are not capital offenses, and they are not necessarily dangerous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are also many other crimes that are no longer capital offenses, he said, but are very dangerous. Gascón argues that another provision of the constitution — \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySection.xhtml?lawCode=CONS§ionNum=SEC.%2028.&article=I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Article 28\u003c/a> — lets judges more broadly consider the danger a defendant could pose when deciding to release or hold someone before trial.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Across the state, industry representatives are gathering signatures for a \u003ca href=\"https://www.sos.ca.gov/administration/news-releases-and-advisories/2018-news-releases-and-advisories/proposed-referendum-enters-circulation/\">referendum to overturn SB 10\u003c/a>. Harmeet Dhillon, an attorney for the California Bail Agents Association, said she is 95 percent certain that bail proponents will be able to gather the necessary signatures in time for a Nov. 26 deadline. If so, the issue would then go back to voters in 2019.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So that means a two-year stay [of SB 10] at a minimum,” Dhillon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This constitutional debate has in some ways united the bail industry and the civil rights community, both of which oppose SB 10 for different reasons. For bail companies, it represents an existential threat throughout California. Civil rights groups say the law will result in more jail time for poor defendants — just at a judge’s discretion instead of through unpayable bail amounts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhillon said even if the bail industry’s referendum fails, she expects the civil rights and defense attorneys to file legal challenges to SB 10 as soon as it goes into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The felony indictments come as a result of a thorough 3 year investigation by the FBI with which the San Francisco Police Department fully cooperated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The summons for the criminal charges were served on the officers involved this morning by SFPD Command. The affected officers have been suspended without pay, effective immediately; and will remain so until this matter has been adjudicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of the many concerns my administration inherited from past administrations, this investigation – by far as the public’s trust is everything to us (SFPD) – has been of the gravest concern.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I said on the day that I was sworn in as Chief of Police when asked about this ongoing investigation, “There is no place in the San Francisco Police Department – and shouldn’t be in any police department - for a dishonest cop.” Should these officers be proven guilty of any of the charges as alleged, I will seek immediate termination and expect that the Police Commission will agree and act expeditiously to make that happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am grateful to US Attorney Melinda Haag, former Special Agent in Charge Stephanie Douglas, and current Special Agent in Charge of the FBI David Johnson for their thorough and comprehensive investigation into this matter.\u003cbr>\nAlthough federal authorities have represented that they found no evidence that the conduct of these few officers, as alleged, is an indicator of a larger “systemic concern” within the SFPD, I want to assure the public that policies, procedures, and on-going training to those policies and procedures; along with additional supervision of officers working in plainclothes was put in place during the first weeks of my administration to safeguard against even the suggestion of anything like this happening again.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Next, Public Defender Jeff Adachi, who brought the alleged police misconduct to light in 2011:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Today's indictments are confirmation that the constitutional rights of San Franciscans matter. I commend the U.S. Attorney for taking seriously the reports from ordinary citizens who had been humiliated, stolen from and hurt by police officers sworn to protect them. For years, our clients told us their rights were being violated, and for years we raised the issues in front of judges. Ultimately, it took a federal investigation to hold accountable those who would violate the public trust.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Then, San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón, who was police chief when the alleged crimes took place:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>I am relieved to know that the officers have been indicted, after I referred the matter to federal authorities. It is extremely disappointing that the officers violated the trust of the community and tarnished the reputation of all the hard working men and women in uniform. As law enforcement, we must all work hard to ensure our agencies operate with the highest integrity and are deserving of the trust the public bestows upon us.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Finally, Martin Halloran, president of the San Francisco Police Officers Association, who told the Associated Press the indictments were apparently based on the questionable testimony of unreliable informant witnesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"However, we do understand that these are nonetheless serious charges,\" Halloran said. \"It is important to remember that the accused officers will have their day in court since federal grand juries only hear one side of the story.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, KQED's Mina Kim spoke with Stanford Law professor Robert Weisberg, who co-directs Stanford's Criminal Justice Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wouldn't want to view this as an indictment of the whole department,\" Weisberg said. \"I don't know that this would be described as 'deep and systemic' ... One could still describe it as an isolated incident, but it's a really bad isolated incident.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/137124146&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post: \u003c/strong>Federal prosecutors have announced the indictment of six San Francisco police officers, including a former officer, in a case in which police are alleged to have conducted illegal searches and stolen property from residents of single-room-occupancy hotels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Separate grand juries brought charges against the officers, including deprivation of rights under color of law, conspiracy against civil rights, conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, falsification of records and extortion.
