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
@NBCBayArea w/@rajmathai. Evans: "You can't pick and choose one or two individual, sensationalized cases and say Chesa isn't accomplishing what he ran on..."pic.twitter.com/utw9PPGB3s2 replies 5 retweets 25 likesShow this thread -
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

@SupStefani hopes her legislation forces the DA's Office to increase transparency. She says San Franciscans deserve to know how often violent offenders are set free. Yesterday marked 139 days since we first started asking DA Chesa Boudin for an interview.@nbcbayareapic.twitter.com/tUK76l62Qh5 replies 5 retweets 52 likesShow this thread
@chesaboudin won't grant you an interview after 139 days but will give one to the @TheAtlantic while his wife is in labor?
