Outraged community members in San Francisco rallied Friday morning outside the Hall of Justice to oppose the probation sentence of a man who pleaded guilty to assaulting a 94-year-old woman in 2021.
The case of Anh “Peng” Taylor’s stabbing got a lot of attention as it was one of many unprovoked attacks on Asian American Pacific Islander seniors during the pandemic.
The suspect, 35-year-old Daniel Cauich, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to probation. But the sentence cannot be imposed until both parties sign an agreement as to the details of the sentence.
District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, and those gathered to rally for the victim, say this isn’t justice.
“When we see our seniors being violently attacked and there be no actual consequences for it,” said Jenkins. “Yes, we are going to come together and we are going to stand together against what is happening.”
Taylor survived the attack in front of her Post Street apartment in the city’s Tenderloin neighborhood.
Friday’s rally, which also included two mayoral candidates — Mark Farrell and Daniel Laurie — as well as supervisor Matt Dorsey, became heated when counterprotesters showed up, saying the case was being politicized. The counterprotesters called themselves an ad hoc group of lawyers.
The back and forth between the two groups got so intense, law enforcement had to step in to break it up.
“And the fact that these people’s pain and suffering is being weaponized against judges who are doing such a hard job in such a hard climate is very inappropriate, and Brooke Jenkins should be ashamed of herself,” protestor Brian Ford said.
The DA notes this case never went to trial, and the prosecutors were not involved in negotiating the sentence handed down by the judge.

A rally? How surprising and wonderful.
Good for them.👏
To the People of San Francisco: “Keep supporting Progressive Elites, it is working great !”
This Time is Different.
Just a black judge letting one of her little darlings out to prey on more old Asian folks. Judges like this don’t care much about anything but race and sexual orientation anyway.
Reminds me of the opening of The Godfather
How re-assuring. I feel so much moe optimistic now. We have turned the corner. The pendulum is swinging back. Common sense is re-asserting itself / sarc
Not like you think. Their Five Year Plan is good. They just needed the right people in charge like they have now.
He stabbed an elderly woman on the street and was let out on probation???? What kind of bizzaro world is this? Sickening!!
Female Judge.... natch.
He spent just a bit less than 3 years in jail awaiting trial?
The DA was asking for 12 years which seems appropriate.
“Judge Kay Tsenin is responsible for this:”
The blame goes to an another judge:
Days before the incident, on June 7, Cauich was released from jail as he waited to stand trial for a burglary that occurred in May. The judge in this case had denied prosecutors’ motion to keep Cauich incarcerated until his trial, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
” ... and was let out on probation????”
Article: But the sentence cannot be imposed until both parties sign an agreement as to the details of the sentence.
“Outraged community members in San Francisco..”
Hope they are next on the beating list.
“The counterprotesters called themselves an ad hoc group of lawyers.”
They should have been curb stomped on the spot.

This guy is a defense attorney in SF it seems.
(“Outraged community members in San Francisco..”)
I think they were opposed to the light sentence?
But they voted for it...more than likely.
Keep voting Democrat.
