Judge finds Contra Costa DA’s gang filing practices are racist, dismisses special circumstances charges in murder case
Maier’s ruling dealt specifically with a portion of the act that refers to a prosecution’s statements during trial, while Goldstein’s ruling cited a different subsection that covers an entire DA office’s charging practices.
“The impact of today’s ruling is an acknowledgement that racial bias infects every stage of the criminal legal process,” Kuluk said. Chief Public Defender Ellen McDonnell said Goldstein’s ruling “drives home the unfair charging practices that too often result from the role of implicit bias in our legal system.”
An hour after Goldstein’s ruling, demonstrators took to the streets of Martinez to protest the Antioch police department in a march that started downtown and ended at the Wakefield Taylor Courthouse, a few feet from where a Black Lives Matter mural was defaced in the wake of George Floyd’s murder in 2020.
