Alameda County DA Pamela Price dropped the special circumstances filed against toddler Jasper Wu murder suspects Ivory Bivins and Trevor Green, which means they no longer face life without parole if convicted, or the death penalty if California resumes executions.
"Recent amendments to the gang statues make it clear you can't take neighborhood groups of kids from minority neighborhoods and call them gangs because they identify with a particular neighborhood," Mont said.
Alameda County DA Pamela Price dropped the special circumstances filed against Bivins and Green, which means they no longer face life without parole if convicted, or the death penalty if California resumes executions."Number one, they want to thank people supporting them, but they definitely want to make sure justice is not only served for the family but justice for all," Chan said.
"We will continue to hold these men accountable for these serious charges that will likely land them behind bars for the rest of their lives." Last month a judge dismissed murder charges against a third defendant, saying 28-year-old Johnny Jackson was the victim of an ambush."Johnny took responsibility for what he's responsible for. I'll say it again: he did nothing to cause the death of the child," said Jackson's attorney, Annie Beles.If you're on the ABC7 News app,
