The officer’s attorney asked that the California Attorney General’s Office take over prosecution of the case.
The attorney for a former San Leandro police officer charged with killing a man three years ago is demanding that Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price be removed from the case — arguing she has shown “a consistent, publicly proclaimed animosity against the police profession in its entirety.”
In arguing for Price’s office to be tossed, Rains cited a roughly decade-long run of statements by the longtime civil rights attorney. They included comments from Price alleging Fletcher “executed” and “murdered” Taylor during their deadly encounter three years ago in a San Leandro Walmart.
