Judge Mark McCannon disqualified by Alameda County DA from criminal cases.

Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price has announced that she will prevent a veteran judge, Mark McCannon, from ever hearing a criminal case again, claiming that he overstepped his boundaries as a judicial officer. This comes after Judge McCannon rejected the plea deal offered by Price to Delonzo Logwood, who is accused of three murders. Price offered him 15 years on a single voluntary manslaughter charge, but Judge McCannon denied the motion to remove himself for bias. Price's move has raised concerns among legal experts, who worry about the precedent it sets and the potential for jury prejudice in the upcoming trial.
