(KRON) – Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price attacked her predecessor this week, accusing her of allegedly being linked to a prosecutorial misconduct scandal.   These prosecutorial notes demonstrate Alameda County prosecutors in prior decades purposely kept Black and Jewish people off of death penalty juries, so says Price, who says she has been investigating this matter for six months.  On Wednesday, Price made a leap and accused a sitting judge who was a former prosecutor in that office of trying to conceal the misconduct. "Morris Jacobson and a team of investigators appear to have taken part in covering up the evidence of the misconduct," Price said.  Instead of investigating the allegations, Price says a note written by an unidentified DA employee in November 2004 indicates Jacobson wanted to damage the credibility of a former prosecutor who admitted the misconduct was going on.  "Key sections of the notes…include that they left [the note] with Morris saying he would give us direction, and they want to find dirt on Mr. Quatman. Also, the question was asked, in writing, or in parentheses, ‘How good are your memories?’ His point was that he doesn't want any documentation of what we do, unless it is agreed upon," Price said.  Price, who faces a recall election in November, then tried to link that note to former District Attorney Nancy O’Malley, who was chief deputy at the time and who came out in favor of recalling Price earlier on Wednesday. "We know that both Ms. O'Malley and former district attorney Tom Orloff were aware of it," Price said. When asked how Price knew they were "aware" of the matter, Price said "Because Mr. Jacobson reported to them, and he was assigned by them to defend the office."  Price provided no evidence that O’Malley had, in fact, seen the note, nor if it was connected to the alleged misconduct or the alleged cover-up, but she was willing to speculate.  "This is a sign, apparently, that we must be getting close to uncovering the role that Ms. O'Malley played as the former leader of this office when this prosecutorial misconduct actually was taking place," Price said.  In a statement, O’Malley says, “These false or misleading allegations by Pamela Price demonstrate my point that Price is unqualified to hold public office…. Pamela will pay a price for her deceptions on election day.”  With two weeks to go before the election, it's unclear what impact Price and O'Malley's comments about each other will have on the recall election. What is clear is that whoever is sitting in the DA’s office come January will likely have to continue the investigation into past prosecutorial misconduct.
