For example: Nielson could have compared what portion of cases were dismissed with neighboring Alameda, CA, or the USA.https://twitter.com/TheMarinaTimes/status/1456359529009008640?s=20 …

The Marina Times @TheMarinaTimesJan. 1, 2020 through March 1, 2021, Boudin tried just 23 cases resulting in 16 convictions. In 2019 during the same timeframe, Gascon tried 294 cases and got 203 convictions. Jan. 1, 2020-March 2021 Alameda had 1,413 convictions. They dismissed 11.4% of cases, SF dismissed 40%. https://twitter.com/susieneilson/status/1456354241296035852 …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Nielson could also have pointed out that the DA and SF courts routine reject lawful demands to release disposition data - after someone is arrested, for example, for possession of a gun, what is the final prosecution, and how does that compare to rates locally, in CA, in the USA?

Comparing Boudin's performance to the equally feckless Gascon tells us almost nothing at all.

If the DA office brought just 23 cases to trial between Jan. 1, 2020 through March 1, 2021 (out of 6000? 8000? felony arrests in that period), don't you think stats Nielson is reporting may perhaps be missing important context. It's hard to see it as anything other than puff.

Additionally, the city had almost 800 fatal overdoses in 2020. Where is the evidence of this massacre in Nielson's selective reporting?

Dismissals, dispositions, and trial delays happen for all sorts of reasons, and shouldn't necessarily be tied to the DA, the same way charging decisions are, which DA's have sole discretion over. And what do overdoses have to go with the DA? It's a medical/public health issue.

Re: “Dismissals, dispositions, and trial delays happen for all sorts of reasons”.. Sure But the big question is, is SF behaving differently to everywhere else in the respect? SF’s DA office and courts reject public data requests for this data, unlike other counties.

@susieneilson understands these issues - the chronicle has reported on them. The fact that she has personally chosen to ignore them in her article is a little nauseating.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

It's very hard to dig in to those issues in an aggregate level.
@susieneilson did a good job with a hard subject to report on (stats) by keeping it simple, before each case gets much more nuanced and greyer.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
