If even a procecutor lies, who can we trust?
SAN FRANCISCO, California (Reuters) — A former prosecutor lied when he testified that a California judge advised him in 1987 to exclude Jews from death penalty case juries, a judge reviewing the matter ruled Tuesday.
Former Alameda County deputy district attorney Jack Quatman testified last month that during jury selection in a 1987 murder trial, Alameda County Superior Court Judge Stanley Golde called him into chambers and instructed him to use his challenges to keep any Jews off the jury.
After hearing a week of testimony on the issue, Superior Court Judge Kevin Murphy backed the California attorney general’s view that such exclusions never took place.
