The Alameda County Public Defender's Office plans to file a subpoena seeking former DA Pamela Price's personal phone records connected to the Jamal Thomas murder case.
Judge Thomas Reardon indicated he would grant the subpoena, expecting compliance by the end of the year, to investigate allegations of political extortion.
After a court hearing, the focus is on written communications during Price's time as DA, which are deemed public records under state law.
The controversy stems from claims that Price misused her position to impose a sentencing enhancement against a client for not supporting her against a recall.
