The latest is a Detective Tran paid thousands of dollars to a supposed witness before and after a trial where an apparently innocent person was convicted of murder. The witness now admits she was blocks away when the crime happened.Worse yet — the same detective is still at work. It won’t be much longer that juries — or the public — believe anything the police say when the bad apples continue to be paid and accepted in their departments.Fred GeigetSanta CruzRichmond developmentis a bad proposalThe Richmond Planning Comission approved the proposed development of the PG&E site on Brickyard Cove Road even though there is no project-specific EIR, it will require 130,000 cubi...

Court voids Marine’s adoption of Afghan war orphan

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:56:30 GMT

By Claire Galofaro, Juliet Lindeman and Martha Mendoza | Associated PressCHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — In a highly unusual ruling, a state court judge on Thursday voided a U.S. Marine’s adoption of an Afghan war orphan, more than a year after he took the little girl away from the Afghan couple raising her. But her future remains uncertain.For now, the child will stay with Marine Maj. Joshua Mast and his wife, Stephanie, under a temporary custody order they obtained before the adoption. The Masts will have to re-prove to the court that they should be granted a permanent adoption.Despite the uncertainty, the ruling was a welcome move for the Afghan couple, who had been identified by the Afghan government as the child’s relatives in February 2020 and raised her for 18 months. They dropped to their knees in prayer outside the courthouse. As they held each other, the young man wiped the tears from both their eyes with his wife’s headscarf.The Masts quickly left the courthouse ...

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:56:30 GMT

Brock Purdy’s recovery from elbow surgery is “going as planned,” even if that means his support brace “looks like I have a robotic arm.”Purdy spoke Friday on Fox Sports 910-AM in Phoenix, where he’s three weeks into his rehabilitation from surgery repairing the ulnar collateral ligament he tore in the 49ers’ NFC Championship Game loss Jan. 29.“The protocol is you start throwing at three months, but it all depends on how your therapy and your range of motion and everything goes up until that point,” Purdy said on the Roc and Manuch with Jimmy B show. “There are definitely some boxes I have to check off first before I get to that point, but that’s the plan as of now.”Purdy commended the 49ers’ medical and training staff for their constant monitoring of his progress, from daily calls to also visiting him in Arizona, which Purdy said head trainer Dustin Little did “the minute I went out and had surgery” ...

After controversy, Alameda County supervisors choose Elisa Márquez for District 2 seat

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:56:30 GMT

The Alameda County Board of Supervisors have selected their newest supervisor – and avoided stoking controversy in the process.After hearing hours of public comments in support of the four candidates on Thursday, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors chose to appoint Hayward City Councilmember Elisa Márquez to the board.The selection process began on Tuesday, when interviews of each candidate were conducted publicly. Early on, it was clear that Márquez and Teresa Keng, the vice mayor of Fremont and local business owner, had hearty support from the community.“It’s surreal,” Márquez said in an interview. “The biggest takeaway is that District 2 showed up in full force.”Related ArticlesPolitics | Editorial: Alameda County supervisors should not appoint another carpet-bagger Politics | Valle replacement sparks another controversy over residence for Alameda County supervisors Márquez, a lifelong resident of the district, will replace popular supervisor R...

Even after lawsuit victory, clock is ticking for Oakland A’s on Howard Terminal stadium

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:56:30 GMT

OAKLAND — Another baseball season is just getting underway, but it appears that the Oakland A’s are already running out of time.The clock is ticking for the team to find another home before its lease at the Coliseum expires next December, and there’s little word from the city about a deal being struck over a new, billion-dollar 35,000-seat waterfront ballpark in West Oakland.That stadium development — plus 3,000 new homes, massive retail and other commercial space, hotel units and more — cleared a hurdle Thursday when an appeal by shipping companies challenging the proposal’s environmental details was defeated in court.“Oakland will continue upgrading our infrastructure so we can support sustainable and resilient communities and promote economic development,” Mayor Sheng Thao said Thursday in a statement. “And we are now one step closer to reaching our goals.”The shipping companies operate at the city’s busy port, and...

Read more Letters to the Editor.Cities should guardagainst light pollutionRe: “Council votes down digital billboard plan” (Page B4, March 22).Good news. Gilroy City Council rejected an electronic billboard along Highway 101 that the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society, Sierra Club Loma Prieta and Green Foothills also opposed. Nighttime light harms wildlife and has been shown to harm human health too. The structure would have been 75 feet tall with a 672-square-foot display area, adversely affecting our environment, safety, energy consumption and health, and impairing our view of the universe too.Gilroy, along with San Jose and other cities, should develop a dark sky ordinance to guide light pollution decisions. Approving an electronic billboard project without a dark sky ordinance fails to consider its overall impact and the proper management of light pollution.

(KRON) -- Los Angeles Angels star Anthony Rendon took a swing at an Oakland A's fan Thursday night in a confrontation that was caught on video. In the video, which was posted to Twitter, the Angels third baseman confronts a fan in the stands who he seems to think has just insulted him.The Oakland Police Department (OPD) is investigating the incident, which it is calling a "battery." The fan in the video has not contacted OPD. Oakland A’s ballpark ranked worst in U.S. "What did you say?" Rendon can be heard asking the fan as he grabs him by the shirt. The fan replies with something inaudible. Rendon then replies, "Yeah, you called me a b**ch, huh?"The fan, nodding his head in denial, suggests he did not call the two-time Silver Slugger that word."Yeah, you did. Yeah m***********r," Rendon said as he is still grabbing onto the fan's shirt. Rendon then appears to throw a left hook but misses as the fan was able to back up and dodge the punch. Rendon walks away as the 12-second clip ...
