One of the more important and most overlooked races going on in San Francisco right now is the campaign to be the city’s next district attorney.

Today, we turn to David Onek, a longtime criminal justice reformer and founding director of the Center for Criminal Justice at UC-Berkeley's Law School.

I wrote a book recently (unpublished). In it the District Attorney asked the Federal Government to take jurisdiction over a case in which he was to file charges, & recommend the death penalty. It involved the drug related death of a sixteen year elderly girl. The query I have is did he have a right to make this request because he practiced law in a state that did not offer capital punishment for a crime or does it undermine the right of a given state legislature to write & enforce its own law?

Regards,

Janine Zargar

David Onek is a well known name and is a great personality and all these details possibly having a conflict of interest in seeking and maintaining the DA’s office.
