Prosecutors allege Bivens and Green were riding in a car along the highway and ambushed another vehicle with an AR-15-style rifle. Jasper Wu was riding in the backseat of a car with his family on I-880 in Oakland when he was shot and killed by a stray bullet in November 2021. "It is obvious to me that the District Attorney's office has given into the political pressure surrounding this case by pursuing the gun and gang enhancements." "My client continues to face an indeterminate life sentence under the filed information," Castillo said.
"It's about protecting the victims and the families, not helping criminals."īut Bivens' attorney Ernie Castillo said that despite the reduced charges, his client still faces life behind bars. "By not sending a strong message, we are almost saying it's okay to commit crime because there's no serious consequences," he said. "We will continue to hold these men accountable for these serious charges that will likely land them behind bars for the rest of their lives," said Price, who did not explain why she made the changes.Ĭarl Chan, who spoke on behalf of the Wu family Thursday, said dropping the special circumstances charges sets a bad precedent.
