Former Alameda County prosecutor Amilcar 'Butch' Ford, who currently works as a prosecutor for the San Francisco District Attorney's Office, may be disbarred following a misdemeanor complaint filed against him in Alameda County.
OAKLAND -- Former Alameda County prosecutor Amilcar"Butch" Ford, who currently works as a prosecutor for the San Francisco District Attorney's Office, may be disbarred following a misdemeanor complaint filed against him in Alameda County.
But Ford asked Wednesday how revealing statements by a prosecutor that are contradictory to his ethical obligations can be confidential. That's what Ford did, he said. "I didn't write anything," Ford said. Specifically, Ford allegedly violated section 6131, which says that a public prosecutor must not directly or indirectly advise or take part in a defendant's case if the prosecutor previously prosecuted or aided or promoted any action or proceeding in a court against the defendant.
Ford admitted being head of the felony trial team but said the law and motion team was overseeing the Fletcher case. Prosecutors also allege Ford"relayed the substance of private conversations he had with" another prosecutor"in January 2023 regarding the Fletcher case, including case strategy, attorney assignments, charging options, and other professional opinions about various aspects of the case.
