Yesterday, I had a nearly 90-minute heart-wrenching meeting with Ms. Abe's mother, a woman of great strength and kindness. I am meeting with Ms. Platt's family later this week. My office and our Victim Services team are committed to supporting both families.

Although of course no one predicted this tragedy, it is true that my office, and other justice partners, could have done things differently, which might have avoided this terrible outcome.

Replying to @chesaboudin
Respectfully, if news reports are accurate the accused had a strong pattern of thefts and burglaries including car jacking. This wasn’t a one off or unpredictable occurrence. Every theft or burglary can go wrong and puts innocent people at risk.

Why is he claiming this as unpredictable then?
