Kamala Harris' Prosecutors Sent This Innocent Man to Prison

Back when she was San Francisco D.A., U.S. Senator Kamala Harris, now a presidential contender and a self-described "progressive prosecutor," cost the city of San Francisco millions of dollars and cost Jamal Trulove more than six years of his life. Harris allowed the people working under her to pursue a murder charge against Trulove that was ultimately overturned by an appeals court. Harris has yet to account for this incident, which is in stark contrast to the progressive image she is trying to project as she runs for president. Trulove shares his experience growing up in San Francisco and his thoughts on Harris' role in his case. (Despite numerous attempts to reach her, Harris did not return VICE's requests for comment.)

Jamal: Never in a million years I would have thought that they were gonna charge me for Seu's murder. I never talked to no detective, no police officer, no D.A., nobody.

Interviewer: Just arrested and then charged.

Jamal: Arrested and charged -- that's it.

Interviewer: Was the first time you saw Kamala Harris in person the day that the verdict was issued?

Jamal: She showed up at the two most pivotal times in this first trial in me being convicted and me being sentenced. She wanted to be present for a celebration of a conviction.

Interviewer: That's what it felt like, a celebration?

Jamal: A celebration, that's what it felt like. The reactions I get when I tell people my story is they say it's the worst nightmare, you know? It's the closest thing to dying.

Here's something to be tweeted out by those with large x/twitter/whatever accounts.

Back when the media wanted her derailed as a presidential candidate after learning the truth about her and not finding her to be viable. Now we get the current gaslighting special.

hounding David Daleidin for 9 years. Gee, I wonder who’s weaponizing the DOJ in order to put little old ladies in Federal prisons for the crime of defending innocent babies?

Butchers incoming.

How horrible. The poor young man losing six years of his life after getting railroaded by Harris. Imagine her cackling at your verdict and sentencing. I wonder if she did high-fives all around.

That was a compelling interview, although short on information about the circumstances of the killing and where he was or wasn’t at the time. He seems a sober and intelligent man. I hope he does more good things, like this interview to raise awareness, with his compensation.
