2) Gun violence has nearly doubled in San Francisco this year & car break-ins are up 150% in parts of the city. We wanted to talk to SF's top law enforcement officer, DA Chesa Boudin, about how his office is responding, but for 100+ days our interview requests were ignored.pic.twitter.com/ZyyaMkxvk4

4) On Monday, the DA's former prosecutors sparred w/ one of Boudin's current managing attorneys, Demarris Evans, live on

5) On Wednesday, we reported on a proposed law requiring police & DA's Office to release quarterly reports, detailing how often violent offenders are arrested & prosecuted.
@SupStefani says her legislation stems from lack of transparency in DA's Office. https://www.nbcbayarea.com/investigations/sf-da-chesa-boudin-could-be-forced-to-disclose-how-often-his-office-prosecutes-domestic-violence-offenders/2705199/ …pic.twitter.com/U4NZxMMgHa5 replies 5 retweets 43 likesShow this thread -
6) In response to
@SupStefani's allegations, a spokesperson for DA@chesaboudin told us "we have no records of Supervisor Stefani requesting any documents/data from the office." But we obtained a letter where Boudin himself wrote to Stefani about one of her data requests.pic.twitter.com/QCbJKcDZ3L1 reply 8 retweets 59 likesShow this thread -
7) On Thursday,
@SupStefani's legislation passed out of committee and will now move to the full SF Board of Supervisors next month for a final vote. If approved, police and the DA's office would be required to begin its new wave of data reporting in 2022.https://www.nbcbayarea.com/investigation/san-francisco-da-boudin-supervisor-stefani-spar-over-proposed-transparency-law/2706897/ …1 reply 6 retweets 47 likesShow this thread -
8) At Thursday's hearing, a captain w/ the San Francisco Police Department spoke in favor of the proposed reporting requirements, but in a letter to lawmakers, DA Chesa Boudin voiced criticism, saying the requested data wouldn't fairly show how well his office is fighting crime.pic.twitter.com/oogSCUTdJx

Let me repeat 139 days denied an interview. @chesaboudin is hiding. Quick run to the gender neutral room.
