The families of homicide victims held a rally in Oakland Saturday to show their support for the recall of Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price.
OAKLAND -- The families of seven homicide victims in Alameda County held a rally in front the courthouse in Oakland Saturday afternoon to show their support for the recall of District Attorney Pamela Price.
They said Price should work for the public defender's office, claiming she fights for the criminals rather than the victims.One of the people who spoke at the rally was Anna Toletino. She said she is fighting for justice even though the teenager who killed her son, Rienheart Asuncion, has taken a plea deal and is serving time.The teen is currently serving seven years in juvenile detention. Investigators said the killing of Asuncion was a case of road rage.
"That's one of our fears, that the suspect will get seven years as well when we believe this is not a 7-year sentence. This should be life," said Erika Galavis, aunt of Jazy and Angel Sotelo Garcia. The victims' families want justice and accountability and they accuse Price of being soft on crime. They want her ousted.Asuncion was 30 years old when he was shot and had been married just four months before his death.
Toletino said while she'll never get her son back. She wants to make sure it doesn't happen to another family.
