The National Asian Pacific Islander Prosecutors Association (NAPIPA), is demanding an apology from a California prosecutor over a “condescending and divisive” email addressed to “the Chinese communities” about the status of the case of a toddler killed by gang crossfire.
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price has come under fire for “insulting” the family of the young victim by suggesting lenient sentences for the killers, and now faces equally harsh criticism about her racial insensitivity toward the Asian and Pacific Island community.
Jasper Wu, a 23-month-old boy, was riding in a car seat next to two other children as his mother drove along Interstate 880 in Oakland in November 2021 when he was hit and killed by what authorities would later call “rolling gunfire between rival gangs.”
Although three men —Trevor Green, 22, Ivory Bivins, 24; and Johnny Jackson, 28 —were arrested and now await trial for Jasper’s murder, the Bay area community was sent into a frenzy after local news reported Price’s internal memo describing plans to direct prosecutors in her office to stop the use of prosecutorial “enhancements” and instead, impose only probation or the lowest prison term for most crimes in the county. Price’s policy was to be retroactive, and some enhancements charged by her predecessor would be removed as prosecutors moved forward.
