Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price released a video statement Wednesday saying she wants a judge removed from a controversial murder case based on his recent comments. She also addressed the changes she has made to the district attorney's office's operations.
Specifically, Price addressed the case of Delonzo Logwood, a man accused of killing three people in 2008. He is currently being offered a deal by the district attorney's office for 15 years behind bars for the triple murder, instead of potentially 75 years to life in prison if tried and found guilty.
McCannon had previously rejected the 15-year plea deal. Including credit from time served, Logwood would have been potentially released in three years. Price said in the video that because of the judge's"inappropriate comments and conduct on two separate occasions," her office is filing a motion to disqualify him from hearing any criminal cases from her office indefinitely.
She accused McCannon of creating a "firestorm" and that he "overstepped his boundaries" as a judicial officer.
