Judge delays trial for San Leandro police officer charged in fatal shooting 5 years ago
Briefly

The family of Steven Taylor, who was shot and killed by San Leandro Officer Jason Fletcher five years ago, is frustrated with the delays in the trial due to various factors, including the COVID-19 pandemic and changes in district attorneys. Taylor's family argues they deserve justice and fear that the case's handling may be influenced by the officer's status. They desire to keep the trial in Alameda County, as concerns about an impartial trial persist amid lingering uncertainties about the new district attorney's approach to the case.
“Five years is a long time to wait just for justice. However it turns out, we just want justice. And to wait for five years is utterly ridiculous,” said Addie Kitchen, Taylor's grandmother.
“I am always concerned. I was concerned before they recused Pamela Price. I am concerned that we will have a fair trial. And that the officer will be found guilty,” Kitchen said.
