How disinformation works: Reporter Heather Knight interviewed Matt Gonzalez, the Chief Attorney at the Public Defender’s Office, & public defender, Ilona Solomon, but "excluded & disregarded key details because these did not fit Knight’s narrative."https://www.davisvanguard.org/2021/10/chief-attorney-in-public-defenders-office-challenges-knight-account-in-gudino-case/ …

Heather Knight paints prosecutor, Brooke Jenkins, as "progressive," The facts of the Daniel Gudino case painted by those who knew about it shows a hyper-carceral, overzealous prosecutor, who ignored the wishes of victims' family & medical experts to cage a legally insane person.

Heather Knight paints Chesa Boudin as making an outrageous, controversial decision in conceding the issue of insanity in Daniel Gudino's case. In reality Chesa Boudin made a decision consistent w/ any other prosecutor to follow medical experts & the wishes of the victim's family.

Heather Knight's article talks about other instances where Chesa Boudin allegedly went against the wishes of victims' families. But conveniently leaves out detail about how Brooke Jenkins brazenly *went against the family's wishes in her case* to try to cage a legally insane man.

Heather Knight paints prosecutor Brooke Jenkins as heroic. Public defenders are considering filing a state bar complaint against her for prosecutorial misconduct in the case. "Her stance is the antithesis...what an ethical prosecutor must do."https://www.davisvanguard.org/2021/10/guest-commentary-public-defender-sets-record-straight-on-knight-column-and-gudino-case/ …

One of the central premises of the recall effort of Chesa Boudin is that he is "radical." Doing things far outside the norm. And that those things are causing a "rise in crime." The Daniel Gudino example actually points the opposite way. The premise is overwhelmingly false.

Public Defender, Ilona Solomon: "Reporting on criminal justice issues frames how the public views safety and equity. Much of the reporting in San Francisco as of late has failed this city."https://www.davisvanguard.org/2021/10/guest-commentary-public-defender-sets-record-straight-on-knight-column-and-gudino-case/ …

"Reporters [say] crime is up when it is largely down, [give] voice to corporations who claim they must leave city bc of theft when they long planned to do so, & are now painting a picture of a D.A.s office w/ little regard for safety/victims. This is dangerous. It must stop."

I wrote here about journalistic practices & norms allowing carceral interests to perpetuate failed strategies. Many journalists fall into a trap of familiar practices. In this case appears that reporter Heather Knight purposefully misled her readers:https://www.thenation.com/article/society/crime-reporting-failure/ …

Video shows drug dealers bullying Emma, leave, and return with a gun. One shoots her in the neck and as she turns to run, the side and when she’s running, in the back, which pierced her heart and killed her.
@chesaboudin said it was self-defense because Emma swung a milk crate.
