Anne Marie Schubert is running against AG Rob Bonta, a Democrat appointed by Gov. Newsom. If she is elected, Schubert would be the first non-Democrat to hold a statewide office since 2006, when Arnold Schwarzenegger became governor.
, 31, was arrested late Monday on charges of being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm, police said. Dawson has not been charged with crimes directly related to the shooting., 26, and his brother, Smiley Martin, 27. The younger Martin faces charges of assault with a firearm and being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm, police said. His brother is expected to face charges of possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and possession of a machine gun.
Prosecutors fought last year to keep Smiley Martin in prison while he served a 10-year sentence for domestic assault, calling him a danger to the community, according to a letter Sacramento County Deputy District Attorney Danielle Abildgaard sent to the state parole board. “Inmate Martin has committed several felony violations and clearly has little regard for human life and the law,” Abildgaard wrote in the statement to the parole board on April 29.The Prosecutors Alliance of California, a nonprofit association of progressive district attorneys and legal experts, has pushed back against the narrative that California’s parole board is partly to blame for Sunday’s shooting.
In a statement, the alliance said it is disingenuous for Schubert’s office to point the finger at California’s parole board when it was the district attorney’s office that did not seek a tougher sentence. “There is no easy answer to the violence that plagues communities,” Heidi Rummel, a law professor at the University of Southern California and the director of the Post-Conviction Justice Project, said in the statement. “We should work together to address root causes rather than finger point for political gain.”
