San Francisco DA Brooke Jenkins wrote an unusually terse letter to District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton in which she ripped into him for his response to the Banko Brown shooting.
that he’d sent a letter of inquiry “requesting them to publicly release the video footage showing the circumstances around the shooting ... and requesting the District Attorney to reconsider and reevaluate their decision not to charge the case.”
Jenkins' reply letter, obtained and reviewed by SFGATE, opens by stating, “While legally there is no requirement that I respond to your letter given the nature of your requests, I am responding to ensure that you understand not only my position, but the dangers presented by your interference in the judicial process.” What follows is similarly pointed.
“Following political pressure, you issued your Letter of Inquiry, which you promptly posted about on social media,” Jenkins wrote to Walton. “Political prosecution is the enemy of a fair and equitable criminal justice system. Prosecutorial discretion cannot and should not be abused for the sake of political expediency.
In the letter’s concluding paragraph, Jenkins states, “I hope that what I said above causes you to take a moment to pause and reflect on the dangers your inquiry posed to a fair and just judicial process. We should know and be better as elected leaders.
