Supervisors add $2.2 million to review cases that could be affected by the police racist texting scandal.
Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors chair John Gioia listens during a meeting of the board. Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors this week considered recommended budget actions at a meeting on May 23, 2023. Contra Costa County supervisors have approved a $5.515 billion budget for fiscal year 2023-24, including more money for the district attorney’s and public defender’s offices to handle cases related to the Antioch police scandal.
Each office will get money for five new attorneys. County officials have said there is a good chance dozens — if not hundreds or more — of previous convictions could be overturned in light of the alleged police misconduct. Those new hires — who represent the beginning of the Supervisors also added about $850,000 per year in new Measure X sales tax funding to expand Stand Together Contra Costa, a program to provide legal defense to those at risk of deportation.
