Prosecutors are withdrawing charges and pursuing a “restorative justice' model against a 20-year-old man arrested in the robbery of an Asian man that was captured on video.
The San Francisco district attorney’s office said Monday it is withdrawing charges and pursuing a “restorative justice” model against a 20-year-old man arrested in the robbery of an Asian man in his 70s that was captured on video that went viral.
Dist. Atty. Chesa Boudin campaigned heavily last year on a progressive criminal justice platform that included restorative justice, which relies on reconciliation with victims over punishment of offenders. “We’ve been in conversation with the victim who expressed interest in a restorative justice outcome in this case,” said Alex Bastian, a spokesman for the district attorney’s office. “Specifically, against the young person who videoed the incident. We respect victims and their desires and we will explore a restorative justice outcome.”Amerson’s surrender came after a video of the robbery was posted to social media on Feb. 23, sparking widespread outrage.
