The district attorney offered a 15-year sentence for a man implicated in three murders, instead of the 75-years-to-life he originally faced.
Judge rejects Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price's plea deal for murder defendant Delonzo Logwood who's accused of killing 3 people.An Alameda Superior Court judge threw out a controversial plea deal by recently-elected District Attorney Pamela Price on Thursday. She offered a 15-year sentence for a man implicated in three murders, instead of the 75-years-to-life he originally faced.has been working on a deep dive into Price's new policies and their impact.
Noyes asked Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price, "Ma'am, can I talk to you about this? No comment?" But she did not want to talk about Judge Mark McCannon throwing out the plea bargain she offered to 31-year-old Delonzo Logwood. He's accused of gunning down three people in a murder for hire, carjacking and robbery turned deadly. Logwood also allegedly killed a witness set to testify against his stepbrother.
Bill Cole has been practicing law in Alameda County for 40 years and told us he's never seen anything like this. He came to watch the proceedings, and said it's very unusual for a judge to reject a plea deal approved by both the prosecution and defense, but, "When you are accused of killing a prospective witness in a case, this is a direct attack, not just on the people, the state of California, but judges regard this as an attack on the judicial system itself.
The I-Team took a photo of the victim's advocate being consoled by a prosecutor. She broke down in court reading a letter from the mother of Zaire Washington, one of Logwood's alleged victims. She wrote, "I strongly reject the deal. If he kills again, the blood will be on your hands. He's going to kill again."
Delonzo Logwood offered a brief apology in court for what he called "all the destruction I caused out there."
