The family of Jasper Wu, an Oakland toddler who was killed by a stray bullet, have voiced concern over Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price’s plans to not pursue jail time for the suspects.
Wu was driving home to Fremont, California, with his family on Nov. 6, 2021, when a stray bullet pierced their car on Interstate 880. The bullet passed through their front windshield and hit the 23-month-old toddler in the forehead.
The bullet came from a rival gang shootout between two vehicles exchanging fire. Trevor Green, 22, Ivory Bivins, 24, and Johnny Jackson, 34, were arrested in December 2022 and charged with murder, shooting at an occupied vehicle and possession of a firearm by a felon.
They are expected to have their preliminary hearing on murder charges by the end of this month.
When a member of the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community asked Price for an update on the case, Price responded in an email:
Our office is currently working on a partnership with the Asian Law Caucus to support AAPI victims of violence in ways that open up broader possibilities for healing and non-carceral forms of accountability.
Price revealed that her office is working to pursue “non-carceral” — meaning no jail time, even for criminals — forms of punishment.
The email, which was obtained by ABC7 News, was met with criticism from Wu’s family and Norbert Chu, who previously served as an Alameda County prosecutor for 35 years.
“There are almost no consequences due to no threat of severe punishments waiting,” a spokesperson for the Wu family told ABC 7 News. “How would that restore the public's faith in the justice system? How would the public feel safe?”

That sounds really racist.
Asians in Califagifornia voted for this.
Enjoy the funeral Mr & Mrs Wu.
They tend to happen a lot more when there are no consequences.
Idaho knows what the appropriate solution is.
The exact same low life DA in this case: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4144083/posts
I guess we know who represents the violent criminals in that city!
Remember, the murderers are part of a protected class.
It’s also a ‘non jail time’ solution.
Over her against this wall...
I’m sure the shooters feel just terrible about this tragedy. Haven’t they suffered enough?
(/s, but you see similar comments with every report of a child dying in a hot car)
And not classy.
Two (or more) tiered justice systems never end well.

I can’t believe people in this country are so retarded that they’ll vote for female princesses to fight crime. That doesn’t work in real life. You only see it in “first responder” shows on the boob tube that are designed for idiots. People got to remember. Those “heroes” you’re watching. THEY’RE ACTORS DUMMY!
That is weird. I cannot seem to find images of the suspects, anywhere! /S
The gang members should be in jail, once convicted, promptly executed. There should be zero tolerance for their violence.
*Asians in California voted for this.*
They’ll continue to vote for this.
*You only see it in “first responder” shows on the boob tube that are designed for idiots.*
You can notice in chase scenes Plenty of property damage but no one gets hurt.
The life insurance companies for these DAs should cancel their policies. Just sayin the obvious.
If only the perps had been wearing MAGA hats
Ivory Bivins?😎
Suspect Pamela Price
>>So, you shoot a child in the head you don’t get jail time as long as that child is Asian?
That sounds really racist.<<
Nah, you got it all wrong! You see you shoot a child in the head you don’t get jail time as long as you are BLACK!
But don’t worry, as a result of this event the Asians will march in the streets demanding an end to white supremacy.
