Legally Speaking: Prosecuting Law Enforcement for Use of Deadly Force
In this episode of Legally Speaking, Hon. Pamela Price breaks down the process of charging and prosecuting a law enforcement officer for the use of deadly force and the tortured path of prosecution for Officer Jason Fletcher who killed Steven Taylor in April 2020.
The Incident: What happened at a San Leandro Walmart when Steven Taylor, in the middle of a mental health crisis, was shot and killed by law enforcement in less than a minute.
California’s Use of Force Law: The requirements for de-escalation and imminent threat that should have governed this encounter.
The Prosecution Process: What it takes to charge an officer in California, from probable cause declarations to preliminary hearings.
The Traversal of Justice: The "extreme and highly unusual" conduct of former senior prosecutor Butch Ford and the eventual dismissal of the case by the newly appointed District Attorney.
The Impact: The "grave disservice" to reform efforts and the disrespect shown to the Taylor family, specifically his grandmother, Miss Addie Kitchen.
This case serves as a critical test of California's law and a reminder of the fight for fairness in the face of police violence.
