San Francisco Public Defender Defends Judge Michelle Tong Against DA's Challenges
Original: San Francisco Public Defender Opposes DA’s Challenges to Judge Michelle Tong Following Supreme Court Ruling
San Francisco's Public Defender's Office has come out in opposition to District Attorney challenges targeting Judge Michelle Tong, a dispute that follows a recent California Supreme Court ruling. The office argues the DA's move against the judge is unwarranted, setting up a clash between the two justice-system offices over judicial independence and how the court's decision should be applied locally.
Why now: A public fight between San Francisco's public defender and district attorney over a judge, coming right after a state Supreme Court ruling, is drawing attention to tensions in local criminal justice.
