A man accused of shooting and killing his mother in Sacramento was arrested and booked in a strong-armed robbery case weeks earlier in San Francisco, but the district attorney did not charge him.

Don't blame the voting system.
@chesaboudin won because he should have won. I voted for him myself. The system works, but no voting system can predict what an official will do once they are elected. That's why stories like this are important.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -

He won by fewer than 3000 votes in the third round of ranked choice voting. He - for whatever ideology he professes - didn’t secure a wide mandate, but of course there’s also “prosecutorial discretion”. Can I ask why you voted for him?

I was hungry, and I could have really gone for a bread bowl right then...
Nah, I liked his campaign statements. I like his message about holding police accountable, and bringing a new approach to the DA's office. Given the options I read, I picked Chesa "for Change"1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

I'd have to dig out my old ballot, but checking ballotpedia, I still like what he was saying. 1. Break cycle of recidivism 2. Enforce laws equally 3. Prioritize victims rights.https://ballotpedia.org/Chesa_Boudin

Thanks for your candor. Do you see that happening here in the past year though? Without sounding caustically cynical, not charging/reducing charges/reflexive decarceration seems to have unintended negative consequences, pandemic or not.

I'm definitely keeping up on this debate, and having given a promising public defender a chance, I will judge him next time as the incumbent DA, with a full record to speak for.

Did you talk that Chinese name over with Nancy Tung though, or did you come up with that yourself?

Oh it’s my own doing. If it’s good enough for the politicians in my city, it’s good enough for me.
