Exclusive interview: SF DA explains teen suspect's murder charge in shooting of 49ers' Pearsall
Briefly

DA Jenkins stated, "I want it to be clear that San Francisco is not a safe haven for criminal behavior. Those days are over," emphasizing the shift in approach to crime.
Jenkins highlighted the seriousness of the charges, affirming, "Yes, it does appear to be the most serious charge that is eligible based on these facts," indicating the gravity of the situation.
The ongoing investigation includes consideration of whether the teen will be prosecuted as an adult, with Jenkins noting, "In California, a DA wanting to do that must request a transfer hearing."
When asked if this case is viewed as heinous, Jenkins referenced previous policies, stressing the shift in attitudes towards prosecuting young offenders.
