Judge Dismisses Case Against Alameda County DA Critic Amilcar Ford

The California Attorney General's Office requested the dismissal, citing insufficient evidence and potential bias from DA Pamela Price.

The case against former Alameda County prosecutor Amilcar 'Butch' Ford was dismissed by an Alameda County Superior Court judge.
The California Attorney General's Office took over the case after DA Pamela Price's office was recused due to concerns of bias.
Ford was accused of supplying confidential information to a defense attorney in a high-profile police shooting case.
Ford and his attorney described the case as frivolous and an abuse of power, suggesting it was an attempt to silence Price's critic.
The dismissal adds to the challenges facing DA Pamela Price, who is currently facing a recall election in November.
