The DA’s request this week comes just months after the lawyer himself tried unsuccessfully to have Price booted from the case as well.
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price wants to keep a well-known Bay Area defense attorney from representing the San Leandro police officer charged in a 2020 manslaughter case — claiming the lawyer “acted overzealously” and sought to “undermine public confidence in the criminal justice system,” according to court documents filed this week.
In a press release announcing the move, Price pilloried Rains for an “unethical and improper breach of the professional rules of professional conduct as well as a violation of the standards of ethics that apply to lawyers.”Rains shot back Tuesday, calling Price “ethically bankrupt” and her request “ridiculous.
It all stems from a voluntary manslaughter case that — when charges were first filed more than three years ago — represented the first time in more than a decade that a law enforcement officer in Alameda County had faced criminal prosecution in the death of a civilian. Price’s motion this week appeared intrinsically tied to a similar request filed by Rains earlier this year that sought to have the district attorney herself removed from the case.In the process, Rains relied on a sworn declaration by one of Price’s former prosecutors, Amilcar “Butch” Ford, who described multiple conversations he had with Kwixuan Maloof, then the head of Price’s Public Accountability Unit, during the first couple weeks of January.
