S.F. DA Brooke Jenkins plans to drop manslaughter charges against a former officer who killed a carjacking suspect. She says the charges were politically motivated.
SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said she plans to drop manslaughter charges against a former police officer who became the first ever to be charged for an on-duty killing in the city because the charges were politically motivated.
Chesa Boudin, Jenkins' predecessor, charged Samayoa with manslaughter and other charges after he took office in 2020, calling his decision"historic." Boudin was part of a politically progressive wave of prosecutors committed to seeking restorative justice over mass incarceration. He was recalled from his post last year amid frustration and anxiety over the pandemic and viral footage of Asian seniors being assaulted in San Francisco.
Boudin didn't immediately return a message Friday seeking comment. He told the San Francisco Chronicle he filed the case on the facts, which he said also led the Police Department to fire Samayoa and the city to pay O'Neil's family a $2.5 million settlement.
