A federal judge has ordered District Attorney Pamela Price to review 35 death penalty cases after notes from decades ago showed alleged ‘prosecutorial misconduct.’

In an order issued today, U.S. District Court Judge Vince Chhabria said that the hand-written notes of prosecutors from a 31-year-old murder case “constitute strong evidence that, in prior decades, prosecutors from the [Alameda County District Attorney’s] office were engaged in a pattern of serious misconduct, automatically excluding Jewish and African American jurors in death penalty cases.”

    You’ve basically argued this entire time that white women are not problematic when it comes to jury bias.

    I have not argued that at all. I know that’s what you want me to argue, but that’s different.

      So you didn’t exclude white women from the ignorance of the injustices minorities face from jury bias in your original comment? Because you did

        No, I really didn’t. Again, I know that’s what you wanted me to do though.
