As of Oct. 2, over 1,000 cases at the courthouse have surpassed the one-year statute of limitations for misdemeanor cases, putting many prosecutorial efforts at risk.
District Attorney Pamela Price emphasized the need for transparency with crime victims, assuring, 'We will make every effort to notify people on what happened to their case.'
Former District Attorney Nancy O'Malley defended her tenure, asserting, 'Filing charges on time was never, ever an issue when I was the DA,' after Price's criticisms.
With more than 4,000 misdemeanor and felony cases submitted to the district attorney's office awaiting review, the backlog presents significant challenges for law enforcement across Alameda County.
