<p>Proving to be a woman of her word, San Francisco DA Kamala Harris refused to kowtow to public pressure that demanded the death penalty in the murder of a man and his two sons. If you recall, <a href="http://sfist.com/2008/07/24/edwin_ramos_pleads_not_guilty_in_mu.php">Edwin Ramos</a> (a 22-year-old illegal immigrant/MS 13 gang member with two prior felonies, an assault of a Muni passenger and the attempted robbery of a pregnant lady) is charged with <a href="http://sfist.com/2008/06/26/arrest_in_road_rage_shooting.php">killing</a> Tony Bologna and his sons Michael and Matthew in June of 2008.  According to <a href="http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/story?section=news/local/san_francisco&amp;id=7008523">KGO</a>,  prosecutor Harry Dorfman made the following "surprise" announcement in court yesterday: "The District Attorney has decided to seek the special circumstances penalty of life without parole; we will not seek the death penalty in this case." Harris, who strongly opposes the death penalty, has never sought capital punishment in any case. </p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
