Delayed Trial for Officer Who Killed Man on His Doorstep Finally Begins

A federal judge ordered San Francisco police to decide whether to charge officers for a 2017 shooting within two months, testing the new DA.
Officer Kenneth Cha pleaded not guilty to killing Sean Moore, a schizophrenic man, in 2017. Cha's trial has been repeatedly delayed.
Four SFPD officers face charges this week for unrelated incidents. Cha's case was delayed again.
The oversight board debated hiring an inspector general as the SFPD passed reforms. Cha's case was delayed and Moore's family received a settlement.
The DA is reexamining Cha's case, delaying the trial again. Cha's defense wants more time to review new documents.
A judge granted one final delay in Cha's case despite the victim's mother's frustration. Cha remains employed by the SFPD.
Cha's case, the only remaining against an SFPD officer for an on-duty shooting, will have a preliminary hearing after delays.
Cha will finally face trial for manslaughter for shooting Moore, an unarmed Black man, in 2017. This is the last of three cases charged by the former DA.
