The @GeorgeGascon algorithm — which @chesaboudin continues to use to decide if suspects are “low risk” — didn’t work too well with #VermondJones.

A faulty algorithm is a program poorly written with no 2nd check point (red flag) which allowed human error to pass. Many large business ERP, financial banking and law firms use this protocol. It's very common.

1/2 The case concerning Mr French is the result of human error, a judge influenced by the PSA tool score which has no internal audit. Per your article " City officials said at the time that the tool wasn't at fault -- human error was: An employee at the pretrial services agency

2/2 entered incorrect data about the man's past. But after we published this story, Eileen Hirst, a spokeswoman for the San Francisco Sheriff’s Department, told KQED that the calculation was not incorrect and that city officials re-ran the numbers multiple times to make sure.
