A federal judge, Vince Chhabria, in San Francisco, CA, has mandated the Alameda County District Attorney's Office, led by DA Pamela Price, to review all death penalty cases due to allegations of prosecutorial misconduct. This decision comes after evidence surfaced suggesting that prosecutors deliberately excluded Black and Jewish individuals from juries in capital cases. The review will encompass all 35 existing death penalty cases in the county, following the discovery of handwritten notes from a 1995 trial indicating such exclusions. The scandal has raised serious questions about racial and religious biases potentially influencing jury selections and verdicts in these cases.
