Noteworthy events

Harris' Office handling of drug cases

During a crime lab audit, the San Francisco Police Department (SFPD) discovered that evidence was missing.[103]

As a result of mishandled evidence, the California Superior Court granted several defendants' motion to compel, requiring the District Attorney's Office to release materials surrounding evidence handled in the crime lab. The ruling said, "there were significant errors and misjudgments by both the Police Department and the District Attorney's Office" and that District Attorney Kamala Harris did not comply with her obligation to "identify and produce the information at issue."[104]. San Francisco prosecutors were required to dismiss more than 600 drug cases.[105]

Harris' office dismissed about 1,000 cases that may have been affected by tainted evidence. When some of her aides suggested only dismissing cases proven to be tainted, Harris said, "And I said, ‘No, we have to deal with the fact this now called into question the integrity of the system. There has to be consequences paid for that.” Speaking on her professional relationship with the deputies in the police department, Harris said, "You cannot run an office without designating folks and giving them authority.”[106]

Cooley campaign contribution

In late August 2010, the Los Angeles Weekly reported that Steve Cooley accepted campaign contributions from a businessman convicted of campaign finance fraud. The contributor, Galdwin Gill, lived in Cooley's jurisdiction of Los Angeles County, where the Los Angeles Weekly said Cooley had investigated other political contributors accused of similar crimes.[107] [108] The Los Angeles Times said Harris' campaign "criticized Cooley for failing to investigate Gill," and the Cooley campaign, "said no formal complaint against Gill was ever filed with the district attorney’s office, which is required before an inquiry can be launched."[109]

Harris campaign contribution

Harris' campaign kept a $1,250 contribution from Norman Hsu, who was convicted of violating campaign finance laws. A spokesperson for her Republican opponent's campaign said, "The reality is she’s been taking cheap shots, and here she is guilty of the same thing she’s been trying to turn into political hay.”[110]A spokesperson for the Harris campaign said, “Now that it has been brought to our attention, we will be contributing the funds to charity as was the original intent.” [110]
