In a sworn affidavit, public defender Jennie Otis stated that former Alameda County DA Pamela Price asked her for a political donation to oppose a recall, offering a lighter sentence for her client, Jamal Thomas, in exchange.
Public defender Otis noted it was significant that Price, who historically did not add sentence enhancements, implied that her client's sentence could be increased by an extra ten years if she did not make the donation.
