San Francisco Judge Rules DA Jenkins Challenged Judge Tong in Bad Faith
Original: San Francisco Judge Finds DA Jenkins’ Blanket Challenges against Judge Tong Were Made in Bad Faith
A San Francisco judge has ruled that District Attorney Brooke Jenkins' blanket challenges against Judge Michael Tong were made in bad faith. The finding means Jenkins' attempts to disqualify the judge from cases were deemed improper rather than legitimate legal challenges. The ruling puts a spotlight on the district attorney's office courtroom practices and its relationship with the bench.
Why now: A sitting judge formally accusing the elected district attorney of acting in bad faith is an unusual and consequential rebuke in local criminal justice politics.
