In the case of Jamal Trulove, the actual prosecution in court was led by Assistant District Attorney (ADA) Linda Allen from the San Francisco District Attorney’s Office. She was the prosecutor during the original trial in 2010, where Jamal Trulove was wrongfully convicted of murder.
However, it’s important to note that this case became highly controversial after Trulove’s conviction was overturned in 2014 due to prosecutorial misconduct. The appeals court found that ADA Linda Allen had allowed a witness to give false testimony and failed to correct it, which was a key factor in the wrongful conviction. Trulove was acquitted in a retrial in 2015, and he later won a civil lawsuit against the City of San Francisco for $13.1 million.
