Once again, Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price finds herself embroiled in controversy involving charges in an East Bay murder case.
On Wednesday, Judge Mark McCannon agreed with her office's motion to dismiss charges against 32-year-old Delonzo Logwood in the 2008 slayings of Richard Carter and Zaire Washington."We learned back in January that this witness was not guaranteed to testify," Price said in a statement Wednesday night."Additionally, his testimony was very problematic in terms of contradicting objective facts and our ability to secure a conviction in any of the cases was extremely tenuous.
"The Court's rejection of that proposed plea agreement in March created an unexpected barrier to our efforts to resolve the case. Today, the judge has accepted our evaluation of the evidence in the case and dismissed the two murder charges to match the evidence in the case." after he rejected a plea deal of 15 years for Logwood, who was 18 years old at the time of the killings. He faced 75 years to life if convicted of the original charges.
