After a Danville deputy was sentenced to six years in prison for killing a man, the Contra Costa County sheriff blasted the district attorney and the judge.
DANVILLE — Contra Costa County Sheriff David Livingston sent an e-mail to his staff supporting former deputy Andrew Hall after he had been sentenced to six years in prison. Family members of the shooting victim and community activists say the sheriff’s words are shocking and offensive.
“Very disgusting and a straight bullet to our family’s heart,” Arboleda’s sister Jennifer Leong told KPIX Sunday. “It’s putting a danger to my family and just not believing in our justice system.” Sheriff Livingston challenged the judge’s decision on sentencing in Hall’s case and the actions of Contra Costa district attorney Diana Becton. Staff for the D.A. did not respond to a request on Sunday for comment.
“He killed two people. I mean, just that in itself is already showing he should not be on the streets, he should not be in law enforcement,” she said. “Andrew Hall should not have been a police officer if he could not make those decisions.” Conscious Contra Costa plans to keep the attention on these cases and hopes the letter will bring more scrutiny to the sheriff’s office.
