Ousted soft-on-crime San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin to run Berkeley Law's new criminal justice center
Good to know — add to the list of schools to avoid.
[NYPOST] Former the Socialist paradise of San Francisco
...where God struck dead Anton LaVey, home of the Sydney Ducks, ruled by Vigilance Committee from 1859 through 1867, reliably and volubly Democrat since 1964...
District Attorney Chesa Boudin, a controversial progressive prosecutor who was booted by voters last year over his soft-on-crime policies, is taking the helm of a new criminal justice center at UC Berkeley School of Law.

Boudin, 42, was named the executive director of the school’s Criminal Law & Justice Center, he announced in a San Francisco Chronicle op-ed Wednesday.

"In my new role, just as I did as district attorney, I will continue to draw on networks of advocates, activists, judges and legal practitioners to support reform and advance safety in ways that are rigorous, principled and responsive to the lived experiences of directly impacted communities," he wrote.

"The center will systematically evaluate the outcomes of specific policies and communicate to the public which policy changes are essential to enhancing public safety and justice," Boudin said.

"Electoral politics will only take the criminal justice reform movement so far. Winning a few big elections isn’t enough, on its own, to create lasting change. I learned a lot while in office, including that how people feel often matters more than data and facts."

Boudin, who came under fire as a soft-on-crime prosecutor in the Golden City, was voted out of office in a recall election in June — and announced in August that he would not try to reclaim the post.

#2 I think he fits the persona of one of the lamé supervillains like that Scarecrow Guy or maybe King Tut. He would probably square off with Aquaman in the battle royal.

#5 Are they putting together a minor in Failure? Hopefully, she will teach in Stelter’s building so the students won’t have to rush back and forth.
