The damages award was much less than his attorneys were seeking in this case,” Frimann said. She added that the city is also evaluating the possibility of appealing the case over qualified immunity, a liability protection granted to government employees for their actions at work, provided those actions don’t clearly violate constitutional rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his 2021 lawsuit, Johnson alleged that during a group protest in front of City Hall on May 30, 2020, he was struck in the back of his leg by a dense foam projectile fired by Officer James Adgar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though several facts were in dispute – including whether Johnson was present to hear a dispersal order from police – the jury agreed that Adgar violated Johnson’s civil rights to peaceable free speech and his right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures when the officer used excessive force on him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abimael said Johnson, who works as a youth basketball coach and a paraeducator, has been significantly affected by the injury and that it has caused blood clotting and multiple pulmonary embolisms, forcing him onto a regimen of blood thinners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unfortunate what happened to him,” Bastida said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like many other people, I think he would tell you he felt compelled to exercise his First Amendment right to protest and to free speech after the death of George Floyd,” Bastida said. “He at no point threatened anyone, an officer or otherwise, and at no point did he incite any violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='george-floyd']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson is far from the only person who was injured by police in the major wave of protests and demonstrations against police brutality in the summer of 2020 after Floyd was murdered by former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San José’s police response to the actions was heavily criticized for the level of force unleashed by officers, including projectiles like the ones that hit Johnson, as well as tear gas and baton strikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later in the summer of 2020, the city \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/police-reform-sj-lawmakers-vote-to-ban-use-of-rubber-bullets-to-control-crowds/\">approved restrictions for how police could use projectile weapons\u003c/a>, allowing officers to use them if they are directly attacked, but not purely for crowd control purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.sacbee.com/news/politics-government/capitol-alert/article254651732.html\">statewide bill\u003c/a> was also passed to require stricter conditions for police use of projectiles and tear gas or other chemical agents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Multiple lawsuits sprung up as a result of the violence, including one signed onto by the NAACP of San Jose/Silicon Valley and led by Michael Acosta, a man who lost an eye as a result of being shot by a police projectile. That case, which also included four others, \u003ca href=\"https://sanjosespotlight.com/san-jose-poised-to-settle-lawsuit-over-2020-police-black-lives-matter-blm-george-floyd-protests/\">settled with the city for more than $3.3 million\u003c/a> in 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another group of seven plaintiffs, led by community organizer Derrick Sanderlin, who previously helped train officers about bias, also sued the city and police in 2020 following the protests. Appeals from the city delayed that case, but a federal judges panel \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/09/04/san-jose-ninth-circuit-rejects-qualified-immunity-for-officer-who-shot-activist-in-groin-at-george-floyd-protests/\">ultimately ruled it could go to trial\u003c/a> late last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sarah Marinho, an attorney for Sanderlin, said the trial is currently set to begin in May, though settlement conferences are in the works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bastida couldn’t discuss settlement negotiation details publicly but said Johnson’s case proceeded to trial because, in his view, “the opportunity for the case to settle never really meaningfully came up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was updated on Friday, Jan. 24 to include a response from the San José city attorney.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

And I’ve never done anything but be for the law, and I’m really sorry.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several other people, including her daughter, friends, neighbor and current and former San José police officers, wrote to the judge on her behalf, attesting that Segovia is a good person, loving family member and a reliable colleague who cares deeply for others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Segovia was fired from her role as executive director of the police union shortly after her arrest in 2003. The union denied any involvement or knowledge of her actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, the arrest sparked outrage among local elected officials, police critics and activists, prompting protests outside San José City Hall, with demonstrators calling for further investigations and demanding city leaders to stop taking donations from the powerful police union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police union hired a private investigator to look into whether Segovia’s actions were connected to her work, releasing the results after her conviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigator concluded there was “no evidence whatsoever that any POA representative had any involvement, knowledge, or suspicions regarding Segovia’s alleged criminal activities” and that all the facts indicate she acted alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors agreed with that assessment but also criticized the union for interfering in the federal investigation following Segovia’s arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The SJPOA announced publicly after the search of Segovia’s office that it wished to cooperate with this investigation. Yet counsel for the SJPOA engaged in stonewalling, even threatening to ‘seek judicial intervention’ to stop the prosecution from reviewing Segovia’s SJPOA email contents, though the SJPOA never followed through on its threat,” Tartakovsky wrote in the court memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the same week, the union walled off public access to major portions of its website, including pages that list its board members and staff — a change that its leadership said was aimed at protecting them.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Life upended’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While Segovia was a civilian employee for her entire 20-year career with the police union, Tartakovsky wrote that “she held a position that should have instilled her with firmer respect for the law and for her obligation to be truthful with law enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And though she has since admitted her conduct was wrong and accepted responsibility for it, Tartakovsky noted that she initially lied to federal investigators, attempting to pin everything on her housekeeper, a move he called “reprehensible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This was not just the normal blundering dissimulation blurted out when a target is first surprised and confronted by law enforcement,” Tartakovsky wrote. After being questioned by investigators, he said “Segovia took six weeks to ponder her predicament, concocted a story” in an unsuccessful attempt to dupe investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gasner, Segovia’s attorney, said in his memo to the court that Segovia initially denied her\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>crime “in a desperate attempt to preserve the secret of her addiction as the barrier between her normal and illicit life broke down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors ultimately concluded that Segovia’s actions were “not the behavior of a ‘mastermind,’ but a scared, confused, and addicted woman who saw the walls collapsing around her,” Tartakovsky wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Actions of an ‘addict,’ not a ‘dealer’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Judge Lee said Tuesday she had weighed all the facts of the case, and agreed Segovia’s actions appeared to be “those of an addict and not a dealer,” and she also commended Segovia on her sobriety. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A conviction here is warranted. There was deception at the beginning of the investigation. There was an abuse of power in a law enforcement-adjacent position,” Lee said. “Ms Segovia held a position that should have instilled in her a firmer respect for law enforcement and a firmer respect for being truthful at the beginning of the investigation.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his memo, Tartakovsky said Segovia, in losing her job and having her life upended by the criminal proceedings, has paid a steep price for her actions, and he credited her for overcoming her addiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The government believes that her contrition is sincere and that she poses little risk of reoffending,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The union denied any involvement or knowledge of her actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevertheless, the arrest sparked outrage among local elected officials, police critics and activists, prompting protests outside San José City Hall, with demonstrators calling for further investigations and demanding city leaders to stop taking donations from the powerful police union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police union hired a private investigator to look into whether Segovia’s actions were connected to her work, releasing the results after her conviction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigator concluded there was “no evidence whatsoever that any POA representative had any involvement, knowledge, or suspicions regarding Segovia’s alleged criminal activities” and that all the facts indicate she acted alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors agreed with that assessment but also criticized the union for interfering in the federal investigation following Segovia’s arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The SJPOA announced publicly after the search of Segovia’s office that it wished to cooperate with this investigation. Yet counsel for the SJPOA engaged in stonewalling, even threatening to ‘seek judicial intervention’ to stop the prosecution from reviewing Segovia’s SJPOA email contents, though the SJPOA never followed through on its threat,” Tartakovsky wrote in the court memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the same week, the union walled off public access to major portions of its website, including pages that list its board members and staff — a change that its leadership said was aimed at protecting them.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Life upended’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While Segovia was a civilian employee for her entire 20-year career with the police union, Tartakovsky wrote that “she held a position that should have instilled her with firmer respect for the law and for her obligation to be truthful with law enforcement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And though she has since admitted her conduct was wrong and accepted responsibility for it, Tartakovsky noted that she initially lied to federal investigators, attempting to pin everything on her housekeeper, a move he called “reprehensible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This was not just the normal blundering dissimulation blurted out when a target is first surprised and confronted by law enforcement,” Tartakovsky wrote. After being questioned by investigators, he said “Segovia took six weeks to ponder her predicament, concocted a story” in an unsuccessful attempt to dupe investigators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gasner, Segovia’s attorney, said in his memo to the court that Segovia initially denied her\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>crime “in a desperate attempt to preserve the secret of her addiction as the barrier between her normal and illicit life broke down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prosecutors ultimately concluded that Segovia’s actions were “not the behavior of a ‘mastermind,’ but a scared, confused, and addicted woman who saw the walls collapsing around her,” Tartakovsky wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Actions of an ‘addict,’ not a ‘dealer’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Judge Lee said Tuesday she had weighed all the facts of the case, and agreed Segovia’s actions appeared to be “those of an addict and not a dealer,” and she also commended Segovia on her sobriety. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A conviction here is warranted. There was deception at the beginning of the investigation. There was an abuse of power in a law enforcement-adjacent position,” Lee said. “Ms Segovia held a position that should have instilled in her a firmer respect for law enforcement and a firmer respect for being truthful at the beginning of the investigation.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his memo, Tartakovsky said Segovia, in losing her job and having her life upended by the criminal proceedings, has paid a steep price for her actions, and he credited her for overcoming her addiction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She moved to Los Angeles County almost five months ago but was forced to evacuate from her home in Runyon Canyon after the Sunset Fire broke out last week.

We have very little products of combustion being put into the atmosphere,” said Joel Mendoza, chief of the North Monterey County Fire Protection District. “There was no hazardous hydrogen fluoride gas being emitted by the batteries. At no point did I get a report back that there was any of that being picked up by the monitors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advanced monitoring equipment will be brought in to provide emergency responders and officials with more detailed information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monterey County Supervisor Glenn Church said the fire should be a wake-up call to industry leaders in sustainable energy. He echoed concerns shared with him by constituents about the battery plant’s proximity to environmentally significant areas like Elkhorn Slough and Monterey Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the fourth fire at that site since 2019,” Church said at a press conference. “This transition to a more sustainable energy source should not come before the safety of our families and our environment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cause of the fire has yet to be determined, and nearly 40% of the building has been destroyed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Floyd-Carroll said the experience has left her feeling uneasy.

Zoe Lofgren said Tuesday that she’s not asking President Joe Biden for a pardon after President-elect \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/donald-trump\">Donald Trump\u003c/a> suggested that members of \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11934011/its-a-ridiculous-statement-rep-zoe-lofgren-assesses-rep-kevin-mccarthys-call-to-investigate-jan-6-committee\">the Jan. 6 committee she sat on\u003c/a> should be jailed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with KQED, Lofgren said she’s not worried by Trump’s remarks about the House committee that investigated the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol and called him its “central cause.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I guess my first reaction was a question of whether he’s ever read the United States Constitution,” she said. “I’m scared for the country that we would have a lawless president suggesting things that are completely prohibited by the Constitution be done. But I believe in the Constitution. And I think we have a judicial branch that will make sure that the Constitution is enforced on that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump\u003ca href=\"https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-will-likely-pardon-capitol-rioters-day-1-says-jan-6-committee-me-rcna183275\"> made the comments to NBC’s \u003cem>Meet the Press\u003c/em>\u003c/a> on Sunday. “Honestly, they should go to jail,” he said of the committee members, though he added that he would not direct the Department of Justice to prosecute them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president-elect also said he would consider pardoning the more than 1,500 defendants charged in the Jan. 6 attacks on his first day in office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lofgren said she’s disappointed that Trump plans to “reward criminals.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These were individuals who viciously assaulted police officers, maimed them in a violent attack. So I was not surprised by Trump’s comments, but certainly disappointed by his efforts to reward criminals and to try and criminalize non-criminal activity on the part of Congress,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_12016294 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/NewsomCellphonesSchools-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lofgren added that she encourages Americans to \u003ca href=\"https://www.govinfo.gov/collection/january-6th-committee-final-report?path=/GPO/January%206th%20Committee%20Final%20Report%20and%20Supporting%20Materials%20Collection\">read the committee’s full report\u003c/a> or “go to the Department of Justice’s website and read the case files of the violent crimes committed by the rioters that Trump now says he plans to pardon.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she said she has not sought a pardon from Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“\u003c/strong>That’s up to the president if he thinks it’s appropriate and he can do it,” she said. “We did nothing wrong. Matter of fact, we did a lot that was right. But if he thinks it’s important to prevent harassment, then he can use his good judgment. I will say I’m not seeking it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lofgren said the Constitution already provides members of Congress “much broader protection than any pardon,” both civilly and criminally, but that it may be worth considering preemptive pardons for people who are not elected officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Certainly, there are individuals who don’t have the protection of the speech or debate clause that will obviously, if we’re to believe what Trump and his nominees say, are going to be harassed and should not be,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, on the eve of being sworn in as California’s newest U.S. senator, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12016449/bidens-pardon-has-deeply-disappointed-californias-next-senator-adam-schiff\">Adam Schiff\u003c/a> — another member of the Jan. 6 committee — told KQED he opposes preemptive pardons, even if he believes Trump will “abuse his authority” or try to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I just don’t like the precedent of it,” he said. “I didn’t like it when Trump talked about doing that on his way out.
