From [HERE] When San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins took the city’s top law enforcement seat last year, she inherited three historic prosecutions of police officers for on-duty assaults or killings.

Now, San Francisco is down to one, and some are already predicting its collapse. 

“I’m not optimistic,” said Oakland civil rights attorney John Burris, who represented family members of Sean Moore in their excessive force lawsuit against San Francisco. Given Jenkins’ pattern to date, Burris said he would not be surprised if the criminal case is dismissed.

Moore was shot and wounded by Officer Kenneth Cha in 2017. The victim died three years later while serving a sentence for an unrelated crime in San Quentin prison, apparently from health complications from his gunshot wound. 

Jenkins was not immediately available for comment on Friday. San Francisco officials settled with Moore’s family for $3.25 million. He was unarmed when he was shot.  

Should the case against Cha sputter, it would mark a significant shift from the core policies of former District Attorney Chesa Boudin, who promised to take a hard line on police misconduct and was the first San Francisco district attorney to charge an officer with homicide. [MORE]
