As the new D.A. vows to factor in prior records when charging, Chew hope hopes other victims will become vocal like he did and prompt more action from the criminal justice system.
"I want the AAPI community to know regardless if we can charge a hate crime, this is still a very violent, serious attack that will be treated as such," she said.
SFPD tells me Yearby doesn't have priors in the past 90 days, but his complete record will soon be sent to the D.A. Jenkins says factoring Yearby's priors into charging will be a priority. "People want to see that's happening. They've been struggling for the past two and a half years. They haven't seen it. I want to be very transparent and very up front to show what we're doing so these types of attacks stop."
As Greg continues to heal, he hopes other victims will become vocal like he did and prompt more action from the criminal justice system."It's an awakening for me, and an awakening for others who may have had these experiences in the past... you gotta speak out. It's pretty much a crisis." Jenkins also told me that given the public's concern over cases like Greg's, she's working on forming a vulnerable victims unit which will specialize in cases involving hate crimes and elders. It's something the D.A.'s office has never had in the past.
