A judge has delayed a hearing on a motion to dismiss manslaughter charges against a former San Francisco police officer in the fatal shooting of Keita O'Neil in 2017 as family, friends and activists protest outside the court.
A judge Wednesday delayed a hearing on a motion to dismiss manslaughter charges against a former San Francisco police officer in the fatal shooting of Keita O'Neil in 2017.
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins has indicated she will dismiss the historic charges against Officer Christopher Samayoa in the slaying of O'Neil following a chase. Family members, friends and advocates for O'Neil and other police shooting victims rallied earlier in the morning outside the Hall of Justice. Protesters briefly blocked traffic in front of the courthouse in what was otherwise a peaceful demonstration.
Here’s a portion of a letter sent by the CA AG’s office to the attorney representing Keita O’Neil’s family about the case, “We do not believe the District Attorney has a recusable conflict of interest in this case. The legal circumstances mandating recusal are very narrow”
