Oakland: Man gets 11 years for killing girlfriend's ex in case with new allegations against impugned detective
Briefly

"Defense attorneys for 34-year-old Donte Neal filed a motion accusing a detective of bribing an anonymous caller to implicate Neal in the case of Byron Robinson's shooting, which led to his arrest."
"The plea deal resulted in Neal pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter, with prosecutors dismissing murder and assault charges as part of the agreement."
"Court records indicate that an anonymous call linking Neal to the crime came just two days after the incident, raising questions about its legitimacy."
"Neal's defense suggests that the detective involved may have orchestrated a false tip to secure a probable cause for Neal's arrest, highlighting issues of police conduct."
