Chesa Boudin
Chesa Boudin is an American lawyer who served as the 29th district attorney of San Francisco from January 2020 until his recall in June 2022. He currently serves as the founding executive director of the Criminal Law & Justice Center at the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. He is best known for implementing progressive criminal justice reforms in San Francisco, including the elimination of cash bail, and for being recalled from office in 2022 amid criticism that his policies were too lenient on crime.
“He was basically released thanks to the zero bail policies of Chesa Boudin, who was then the district attorney who he got recalled. There was a huge outcry. I mean, even in San Francisco for there to be a recall of a DA.”
