A 53-year-old man was sentenced to life, suspended down to 30 years, on Wednesday after pleading guilty to charges stemming from a 2021 rampage in which he attacked Asian American businesses, prosecutors said. Darryl Doles pleaded guilty in September to two counts of attempted first-degree murder as well as hate crime and assault charges for the attacks, during which he was caught on .
After the encounter, Lee said, the suspect walked away like nothing happened, like Sunday morning.
San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin, who is personally prosecuting the case, was in the courtroom Monday for the arraignment hearing. I m outraged at the violence against vulnerable elder members of our community, Boudin said. We ve seen a wave of violence against Asian American Pacific Islanders in particular. Enough is enough.
Boudin said he does not presently plan to pursue hate crime charges against Thompson because prosecutors cannot prove the man knew the victims race or identity motivated the crime. Here, based on available evidence, we could not even prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he knew they were Asian, much less that their identity is what motivated the crime, Boudin said in a statement after the hearing.
