Suspect in 2021 SF stabbing case of 94-year-old Asian woman gets probation [View all]

Everyone here in the Bay Area is furious. To be clear, this isn't the prosecutor. This is the judge.

"Ninety-four years old at the time. Taking a walk in the morning, where she was violently, viciously stabbed multiple times by a violent repeat offender who should not have been walking on the streets to begin with," said public safety advocate Lily Ho. "In return, the judge said, 'It's fine. Let's just give him probation instead.'"

They were joined by Jenkins and San Francisco Supervisor Matt Dorsey.

"If there is no accountability for the people who attack them, if we don't have adequate consequences for that behavior, it will continue," Jenkins said.

Public safety advocates say they are demanding courts end the release of violent repeat offenders and restore public safety on the streets of San Francisco.
