Getting a little teary. This has unquestionably been the most challenging, satisfying and thrilling year of my professional career.

Judge Mark McCannon took DA Pamela Price to task this week for making misstatements in the media, saying, “I don’t see how you can fix your mouth to say that.” Now she wants him off all her criminal cases. We broke down all the background for you.
Alameda County DA Pamela Price has announced that she will seek to disqualify a judge who recently ruled against her "from hearing any criminal cases being prosecuted by our office." The judge had called her approach to a controversial case "incoherent."

A woman has been killed and others hurt after an attack at a Berkeley Hills home. The Scanner is at the scene.
Berkeley police and firefighters have responded to Overlook Road in the Berkeley Hills after a woman was stabbed and others reportedly hurt, according to preliminary reports. "Ma'am, can you hear me?" a police officer could be heard asking over the radio.

DA PAMELA PRICE TOWN HALL: Some came to question her. Others came to defend her. In the end, many were left with frustration about rising crime in Oakland and what, if anything, can be done about it.
Hundreds of people turned out Thursday for an Oakland town hall focused on public safety and Alameda County DA Pamela Price. Some asked for stricter consequences, including for youth crime. Price supporters said there's only so much she can do.

Council just voted on how to spend about $5M in excess equity from the General Fund. Citing an uptick in gunfire, the largest single project on the lengthy priority list is $1.3M for new security cameras in several Berkeley neighborhoods. Thread.
