March 18th- SF Cops to Attempt to Get Charges Dropped in Sheila Detoy Death
Case of 17 year-old girl shot by police in 1998 - No Cops Held Accountable
A critical hearing that was scheduled for the San Francisco Superior Court on January 28th will now take place on Friday, March 18th at 9:30am. The San Francisco Police Officers Association is trying to get officer Gregory Breslin, who is widely believed to have been the officer who fatally shot Detoy in the head, off on a technicality. In 2003 the San Francisco Police Commission decided they wanted to file charges against the officers, but things seem to be moving very slowly... Sheila Detoy's family and friends believe that the police are trying to get the Superior Court to dismiss the case against Breslin. Her supporters believe that he should be held accountable for Sheila Detoy's death. A personal account, by Shannon Altamirano
