San Francisco DA Jenkins to review past anti-Asian attacks under predecessor Boudin

Santiago Mejia / San Francisco Chronicle via APSan Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins said her office will review a number of high-profile anti-Asian attacks for any evidence to support hate crime charges.

“I’m optimistic that she’s bringing a new perspective to the issue of how to address intergroup violence and fight Asian hate,” Jung said, noting Jenkins’ willingness to devote additional resources to a hate crimes unit and to actively engage with Asian American leaders. Legal experts say hate crimes are extremely difficult to prosecute, largely because proof of motive is hard to come by. Jenkins said her office plans to gather evidence by analyzing video footage and defendants’ online communications.

A hate crime enhancement can add up to three years of prison time to any other sentence a defendant receives for an underlying felony, which Jenkins said is a “relatively minor” change in the legal system. “Typically, if someone commits a hate crime they’re also committing another assault,” she said. “To say they’re deterred by a marginal increase in prison time is not a realistic assumption.”

If a person of one color attacks a person of another color, with the intent to do harm, just because of that color, then I'd say that constitutes a crime of hate.

How Did 49ers Mess Up Jimmy Garoppolo Situation This Badly?The San Francisco 49ers and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo finalized a new contract on Monday evening that will keep him in San Francisco ... You can say they made a mistake, but they did exactly what they said they would do going all the way back to the combine. If no big offer came in for Jimmy, they would not cut him. Period. We don’t know whether this is a mistake yet or not. SF is undoubtedly better with him on the roster. If an injury occurs his value sky rockets. Could this undermine Lance? Possibly. Will it? It’s anyones guess. There’s multiple scenarios where this move could pay off massively Also the scenario no sf fan wants to look at- trey is just bad. At this point all the picks are sunk cost. Keeping Jimmy doesn’t change that but if you have to switch you know you can make a run with Jimmy. Treating your valuable young qb with kid gloves won’t make or break him.
