There are a lot of recalls for Soros-backed DAs in this country. They are creating even higher crime rates than when they took over. The latest recall target is Pamela Price, The progressive DA in California’s Alameda County, who coddles the criminals and marginalizes the victims of crimes no matter how heinous. Price has only been in office for six months.
This reminds me of a Casey Stengal story when he was with the Yankees. He had brought up a young pitcher who was thoroughly beaten up by the opposing team. Casey took the young man into his office and notified him that he was sending him back down. The youngster asked Casey for a letter of recommendation. Casey obliged, writing:
“This young man pitched 1 1/3 innings for me and I’m satisfied.”
Rather than offer some sort of support for victims and their families, Price blamed them for not giving her credit for pursuing her agenda:
YU: Family members of victims are saying that the decisions you have made are unfair to them, that sentences that criminals have been given are excessively lenient, and the perpetrators are favored over victims. What’s your response to that?
PRICE: I feel definitely my heart goes out to the people who have lost loved ones in this community. Who is we at the District Attorney’s office are very very committed to making sure that we’re providing the best services. Some people are not able to actually appreciate the work that we do.

How bad is Price? She was shamed by one judge after she offered a sweetheart deal to a man who committed three murders for hire. But, she learned nothing from that scolding. She refused to charge a seventeen-year-old man for a road rage killing as an adult even though he was suspected in two other murders. That infuriated the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office, which took the unusual step of criticizing Price on its official Facebook page:
Morales-Jacquez was charged with Asuncion’s murder in November 2022. Due to Morales-Jacquez’s extensive and violent criminal history in multiple jurisdictions, a petition was submitted to the Alameda County District Attorney’s Office to have Morales-Jacquez charged as an adult. Unfortunately, that petition was denied, and Morales-Jacquez was charged as a juvenile for the murder of Asuncion in March 2023.
Juvenile offenders are held at the Juvenile Justice Center up to the age of 25. Morales-Jacquez, now 18 years old, was sentenced to seven years (but could be afforded probation sooner) for the senseless death of Rienheart Asuncion.
Does anyone wonder whether Price believes in stronger gun-control legislation? Want to guess who she’d prosecute with those new laws? Hint: it wouldn’t be those who commit crimes otherwise.
Before you answer that question, take a look at another case in which Price dialed down charges in a murder case involving a firearm and felons. In May, the parents of homicide victim Blake Mohs went public with demands that Price charge the murderer properly for the shooting at a Home Depot:
“My son was only 26, he didn’t even see the gun, he didn’t have any idea,” Blake’s mother Lorie Mohs told KPIX. “He was doing his job, and it was over, he was back in the store safe. This woman came back for him. How is that not intent?”
“[Knapps] is facing murder charges, and something called Little Gun, which means 5 years,” Mohs said. “It’s not robbery, it’s not intent to rob, and there are no special circumstances or enhancements being added at all, and we were told by the DA that is on our case that we should expect none, because it is the policy of Pamela Price to not add enhancements or special circumstances. It doesn’t make any logical sense in my heart, in my space or anything.”
Now Price is lamenting that the Asuncions and the Mohses, along with families seeing similar refusals to fully prosecute predators, don’t show her enough appreciation. And then the interview got weird:
Less than halfway into a 15-minute interview, Price’s PR person Patti Lee pressed this reporter to ask about Price’s accomplishments.
“I’m sorry to interrupt. I don’t think you asked about the achievements of the first six months,” Lee said.
When asked what metrics Price is using to gauge her success, the district attorney replied that the office needs to establish them.
