Overview

• In May, Hall invoked a 2021 state law designed to help incarcerated firefighters by petitioning to expunge his record after serving prison time as a fire crew member.
• Judge Julia Campins determined that the statute’s intent did not extend to dismissing convictions for on-duty shootings and denied the expungement motion.
• The court also rejected Hall’s request for early parole termination, keeping him under supervision following his March release from San Quentin after three years served.
• District Attorney Diana Becton said the severity of Hall’s fatal shooting of Laudemer Arboleda justified preserving his conviction to protect public safety and victims’ rights.
• Arboleda’s family and mental health advocates pointed to Hall’s uncharged 2020 killing of Tyrell Wilson as evidence that his requests insult victims and the community at large.
