A known repeat offender with an extensive criminal history of stealing from San Francisco businesses was charged with 16 counts of burglary and grand theft, but nearly all were dismissed. Here's why.
San Francisco district attorney Chesa Boudin addressed a crowd of nearly 200 as his recall election is now less than three months away."Around $1,000," James said."When will it stop?"
What James didn't realize at the time is that burglary was near the end of an alleged crime spree spanning eight months targeting businesses across San Francisco, according to court documents. In total, seven businesses were burglarized - in some cases just days apart. "I learned that he was a repeat offender at the highest level," said James."What happens to him after that?"
The San Francisco District Attorney's Office told the I-Team they filed seven counts of 2nd-degree burglary, seven counts of burglary during a state of emergency, and two counts of felony grand theft."As is the case in almost all plea deals involving multiple counts, the defendant pled to some, but not all, of the charges. In this case he pled guilty to 2 counts of second-degree burglary as well as additional enhancements," the DA's office wrote in a statement.
