The law firm representing the former San Leandro Police officer who shot and killed Steven Taylor in April 2020 has filed a motion seeking to disqualify Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price from further prosecuting the officer’s case.
District Attorney Nancy O’Malley charged ex-officer Jason Fletcher with voluntary manslaughter after he shot and killed Taylor at a Walmart in 2020.Former San Leandro police officer enters not guilty plea in fatal shooting of Steven Taylor
"Her campaign for DA included photographs with Steven Taylor’s grandmother, who was wearing a ‘Justice for Steven Taylor’ shirt, and is suing Fletcher and the City of San Leandro," Rains said. "She was endorsed to become the District Attorney by members of the legal team currently suing Fletcher and the City of San Leandro for the shooting of Mr. Taylor."
Walmart security stopped Taylor and asked him to return the items. Two customers tried to help Taylor, with one offering him money, which he declined, prosecutors said. Store security told Taylor they had called the police. When Fletcher arrived at the scene, Taylor was holding a bat, which Fletcher allegedly tried to take away. But Taylor held onto the bat and stepped away from Fletcher.
