Live in san pablo, Terry Mcsweeney, nbc bay area news. Seven months into her tenure as the Alameda CountyDistrict Attorney, pamela price is facing a recall effort. She ran on a platform to renew and restore the Justice System, but critics accused her of being soft on crime. Tonight one of her former prosecutors is breaking her silence about prices decision to reduce charges in one of the bay area is most infamous cases. There are certain people who should not live outside of prison walls. Reporter Colleen Mcmanus talking about this man, convicted killer david emery misch, now awaiting a different trial. He has spent the past 23 years as a prosecutor in Alameda County. I have tried almost a dozen murder cases, Sexual Assault cases. Reporter three years ago, mcmahon began working on one of the most notorious court cases and bay area history of the disappearance of michaela garrett. The nineyearold and a friend had ridden their scooters to a hayward grocery store. Kayla was grabbed by the waist and pulled into a car. We had to scour over 45 boxes of files that had been organized by the police department. Reporter two palm prince found now matched misch, already serving time for the murder of a hayward woman. 59yearold david misch had already been serving time. Reporter the goal . To try the cases together. In december, the judge ruled that there was enough evidence to try him for three murders plus special circumstance allegations of murder during the commission of rape, kidnapping, and attempted murder. He has pleaded not guilty. But mcmahon would not get the opportunity. Pamela price had reduced the charges against misch by removing the special circumstance allegations. This would remove the possibility of prison without the possibility of parole. Price ran on a progressive platform aimed at reforming a judicial system she says is rooted in racism. For decades we have had a Justice System that has literally devastated the black and brown community. Reporter but mcmahon says that the decision to strike the special circumstances without input from a prosecutor stunned her. I know more about these cases than anyone, probably even to this day. To not have a discussion with me about the impacts of that decision on the case is unthinkable. It is super unusual. It is remarkable to me. Reporter defense attorney paula kenny agrees. She says the as do not have the time to look at a case in depth and instead rely on deputy d. A. s to inform them. It is very unusual for the District Attorney to make an announcement about the case and a decision about the case without consulting the assigned prosecutor, because you are missing a great opportunity. The assigned prosecutor knows more about the case then any person. Reporter mcmahon says what is more disturbing to her as the price did not speak with the victims families either. Amended into the california constitution, marcys law allows prosecutors to be informed. She did not talk to me or the victims families . No. To this day i have not met her. I have not been in the same building as her. If you charge david misch in front of a jury, how is that different than if you were to charge them in front of a jury with the special circumstances . Well, it really sanitizes the cases. The jury will not hear from the reading of the information that there was a kidnapping involved in the garrett murder. The jewelry would not hear that there was an attempted rape that occurred. The jury would not hear about the fact that he had committed murder after having been convicted of the crime of murder. It really ties your hands as a prosecutor. Reporter Rodney Garrett gave up hope long ago that his daughter would come home alive. I would like to see this happen. The would make sense to me, you know . Reporter 34 years after she last disappeared, he also says his hopes have vanished. Garecht was counting on prosecutors using the special circumstance allegations as a bargaining chip to find his daughters remains. He is angry that price met with him and the families of the other women he was accused of killing only after she dropped those charges. He said it is because there are too many black and brown people serving life in prison because of special circumstances. And nancy said, well, he is white. Reporter we asked price to sit down with us to discuss the misch case, but she would not agree to meet with us. She said she appreciate the families frustrations. I understand that they have been held hostage by the situation because the case has not been resolved after so many years. My commitment to them, and continues to be, which i have fulfilled, is that we will continue to prosecute this case as expeditiously as we can. Reporter garecht says that it is disappointing to him to realize that in mans history could have played a role in the family losing the prosecutor that came to trust. In 2018, price ran against that d. A. And lost. She accused omalleys staff, including mcmahon, of illegally campaigning for omalley while on the job. It is a charge that mcmahon denies. She handed me a letter and said that i am on and illustrative paid leave and that i need to be escorted out of the building. Tomorrow at 11 00, how the political fight that dates back to 2018 goes beyond the garrett case with seven prosecutors placed on leave and a multitude of cases impacting the store. That is tomorrow.
