Misconduct and allegations of racism. The Alameda County District Attorney has revealed a federal judge has issued an exhaustive review of 35 Death Penalty cases that date back several decades. Kron fours terisa stasko joins us with the latest on this developing story. Thanks for joining us. High just saying that review comes as the alameda da says that her office found these handwritten notes that may show prosecutors strategize to block black and jewish jurors from serving on Death Penalty cases. Legal experts are now telling us that these are profound allegations was sweeping consequences. Maybe what happened here is that these people were deemed to be opposed to the Death Penalty. And thats how they got away with removing people based on that city on wednesday, legal experts weighing in on the bombshell dropped by Alameda County District Attorney pamela price. That a federal judge has ordered the review of 35 Death Penalty cases after these scribbled notes were discovered while examining and appeal for this man, earnest, a 51 yearold was convicted and put on death row for the 1995 killing of 9 yearold lance clark and attempted murder of his grandmother. Price says that the notes suggest prosecutors may have blocked female black and jewish potential jurors from serving on trials. Brown is a criminal law professor at uc law. San francisco. This is probably just the tip of the iceberg. Because there were a lot of bats and shenanigans going on until california tightened its laws and what could happen next is not only could these death verdicts be set aside, but the entire case could be set aside. And some of these individuals may be given a new trial in its entirety. Stephen clark is a former santa clara prosecutor and now defense attorney and legal analyst. While the Death Penalty cases are under the microscope, both legal analysts say that there has been sweeping changes in the past couple of decades, making jury selection more transparent. Theres been a tremendous evolution and how jury selection is you have to have a legitimate reason for removing a juror. And you have to articulate that reason to the court. If asked. So we are no suspicious of removals of people on the basis not just of race or gender, but a bunch of other categories like religion, nationality. You know, a lot of other things. And moreover, when the prosecution has to provide a reason, it cant be a silly reason. It has to be a reason that stands lake that. That makes some common sense. Both legal experts say could take years before the truth is revealed on whether or not there was misconduct in these cases. Now being examined in the newsroom, theresa stasi, back to just a he theresa, thank you.

Our capitol correspondent Eytan Wallace was with the governor as he made this announcement and he has his message. Well, newsome calls the arizona abortion law extreme, but he says hes turning anger into action. He believes will make an impact for women in the grand canyon state today. Seek an abortion in the golden state. This is really sick. Whats happening in this country right now. Governor gavin newsom responding with frustration as he spoke about near total abortion bans in effect across more than a dozen u. S. States. And now arizona could be next. While the grand canyon state currently has a law on the books allowing abortions in the first 15 weeks of pregnancy, the state Supreme Court ruled earlier this month. Arizona should follow law from 18, 64 banning nearly all abortions except when the pregnant persons life is in danger. Doctors who are found violate the law could face a penalty of 2 to 5 years in state prison. This is serious. One thing all has in common men. Determine the fate and future women. This would never happen. It was men. We know that. But newsom says california has a part to play he and the members of the california legislative womens caucus announced in urgency. Bill sb 2, 3, 3 allowing Arizona Doctors in Good Standing to come to california to provide abortion care for their patients whove traveled here. We want to lend our hand, not just our hearts and we want to we want to create a framework of real support. We have the opportunity to help women who woke up last week with fewer rights than their mothers have had for their lifetime. We proudly take on this fight. We will not abandon our sisters or their Health Care Professionals in arizona or in any other state. But just hours after this press conference, 32 eyes. 28 knows the gop controlled arizona. Lower state house voted to repeal the near abortion ban, but it still needs approval from the Arizona State senate before can make it to democratic Governor Katie Hobbs desk. For now, newsom says hes working with the nonprofit redwine in blue to help crowdfund abortion care costs. So as to not use taxpayer dollars for arizona to cross into our state. As for his new urgency legislation, get this bill to my desk as quickly as possible. And no official response from the entire assembly or Senate Republican caucus. But in the statement, Assembly Member patterson wrote this on social media, quote, the governor and attorney general spend more time focused on other states and they do californians. Probably no small reason. We have huge increases in homelessness and drug deaths and because newsoms proposal is an urgency bill, that means it would take effect immediately. But it needs at least twothirds approval to reporting at the state capitol. Wallace kron. 4 news.
