Welcome to another episode of the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode we speak to Kate Hallinan, an appellate attorney at Beales and Beales. Kate is working on a few resentencing cases in Alameda County – cases that the new district attorney attempted to withdraw from this week. We get into why these cases are so important and the questionable tactics being used to undo decades of progressive work in our justice system.
