A surprise encounter underscored the messy nature of Alameda County DA Pamela Price’s first four months in office.
New Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price arrived at a courtroom last month with a novel idea: Lop nearly a century off the prison sentence of a man who had been convicted of murder as a juvenile.

Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price speaks Sunday, April 23, 2023 to a crowd of supporters at a rally outside the Alameda County Superior Courthouse. Still, interviews with current and former members of Price’s staff — including supporters and critics of the new DA — paint a picture of an office divided by infighting and deep philosophical disagreements between longtime prosecutors and the new people brought in by Price.
“I did not feel like I could do my job the way I should be doing it: Ethically, transparently and with at least consideration — if not a focus — on the victims of crime,” Weissenbach said. “We are fiercely committed to advancing public safety, standing up for victims and fighting for justice in the courtroom,” Jenkins said in a statement. Her office, she said, is looking to restock talent “after years of prosecutorial negligence that resulted in an exodus of experienced and talented attorneys.”
