Some Alameda County prosecutors say they support the recall effort against their boss: District Attorney Pamela Price.
The union, called the Alameda County Prosecutors’ Association, voted this week in favor of the recall, according to an email obtained by the San Francisco Chronicle. Alameda County has about 150 prosecutors.Roughly 85 percent of the members of the prosecutors' union took part in the vote. But it's unclear how many cast a ballot, or by what percent they voted in favor of supporting a recall.
"I believe too many prosecutors were raised with very different values than the values this community holds today."Earlier this year, a judge ordered the DA's office to review all of its death penalty cases, going back to the 1990s - after it was found that some prosecutors 30 years ago kept Black and Jewish community members off the jury in a death penalty case.
