Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:19:59 GMT

Three suspected gang members were charged with murder Friday in the fatal shooting of a 5-year-old girl while she rode in a car with her parents on Interstate 880 in Fremont — a case that may further test the public’s response to progressive charging and sentencing reforms championed by Alameda County’s district attorney.The charges announced by Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price in the April 8 death of Eliyanah Crisostomo, 5, of Santa Clara may draw attention for what is not included: any potential sentencing enhancements, additional allegations that could extend potential prison terms by years or decades if the defendants are convicted. A gang enhancement to the murder charge was included for each suspect when they were booked by the California Highway Patrol.The suspects were identified in jail records as Humberto Anaya, 29, Emmanuel Sarango, 27, and Kristo Ayala, 25. The charges announced by the district attorney’s office Friday included murder, assa...

Former Sen. Barbara Boxer to Feinstein: “I would call the people who love me … and make a decision”

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:19:59 GMT

When Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein were first elected U.S. senators from California in 1992 — a historic victory for women — Feinstein sat Boxer down and told her, “You’ve got to stick with this. The longer you stay, the better you’ll feel, the more you’ll get done.”Boxer took the advice to heart and stayed in office 24 years before retiring in 2017.“She was right. There’s no question about it,” Boxer told the Bay Area News Group on Friday. “But having said that, you’ve got to be able to do the job.”Feinstein has been unable to do that job for the past two months as the 89-year-old and oldest member of the U.S. Senate slowly recovers from shingles. She has missed more than 60 votes so far this year, leading a number of her fellow Democrats to call for her resignation, including Bay Area Congressmember Ro Khanna.Although Boxer said it’s Feinstein’s decision, she said she has reached out to those close to the ailing senator and made it clear that if she were in Feinst...

CLEVELAND (AP) — The New York Knicks couldn’t land Donovan Mitchell last summer.They’re getting him now. Just not in the way they hoped.Mitchell, in his first season with Cleveland, has pushed the Cavs back into the NBA playoffs for the first time since LeBron James split in 2018 and will face his hometown team in a first-round series loaded with subplots.The juiciest, of course, is Mitchell’s connection to the Knicks, who were on the verge of acquiring him in an offseason trade before the deal collapsed, the Cavs swooped in, and the rest, as they say, is history.On the eve of facing the Knicks, the native New Yorker appreciated how the matchup has a preordained vibe.“Full-circle moment.” Mitchell said Friday as the Cavs wrapped up practice ahead of Saturday’s series opener at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. “This year has been full of full-circle moments for me.”The four-time All-Star guard has quickly transformed the young Cavs, who made the play-in tournament ...
