Superior Court Judge Mark McCannon appeared more amenable than earlier this year to the deal for Delonzo Logwood, 33.
An Alameda County judge approved a plea deal Thursday for an Oakland man accused in a deadly murder-for-hire plot, even as the judge refused to say whether he’d back prosecutors’ proposed sentence of 12 years in prison.
McCannon, who recently survived a bid by Price that sought to remove him from the case, said prosecutors’ willingness to detail their reasoning for offering the deal was a key factor in him granting approval. It all stood in stark contrast to just three months ago, when McCannon lampooned prosecutors for a different proposed plea deal that left him openly questioning prosecutors’ decision-making.
After the hearing, Logwood’s attorney, David Briggs, expressed optimism about the deal, saying “we think the judge will approve it — it’s a fair resolution for both sides.” It also marks the latest twist in a case full of them, while simultaneously offering an early window into Price’s priorities as she seeks to reshape the East Bay’s criminal justice system. A longtime civil rights attorney, Price has vowed to reduce prison sentences and re-evaluate cases involving suspects ages 25 and younger. Her stated goal: Reverse the nation’s legacy of mass incarceration, due to its impact on communities of color.
