Alameda County DA Pamela Price has dropped two of the three murder charges against Delonzo Logwood - a case which continues to be a controversy, one of the first Price faced after taking office in January.
Then, a surprise. Price's prosecution team made a motion to drop two of Logwood's three murder charges."Two of them got dismissed. We're looking forward to proving his innocence on the third one. But today, it was a great victory. The prosecution acknowledge the problems with the case that I've been talking about for years."
The prosecution now says a key witness -- identified only as DL -- is unreliable. The first prosecutor on the case under former District Attorney Nancy O'Malley, Stacie Pettigrew, reduced DL's 31-year sentence for attempted murder and manslaughter associated with Logwood's case to just 19 years, four months.Dan Noyes reports from Alameda County Superior Court, "And here's that first prosecutor's mistake.
But the prosecutor wrote in Wednesday's motion, "Because of the structure of this cooperation agreement, there is no mechanism by which the people can penalize DL for violating his promise at this stage of the proceedings."
