OPINION: Recalls are supposed to be for exceptional circumstances, not for when the losing side wants a do-over. They shouldn’t be used to unseat a DA who's doing what he said he'd do — especially when the campaign's based on fear and misinformation.

EDITORIAL: The recall campaign’s case against DA

tends to be light on facts but heavy on anecdote, emotion and accusations that usually prove untrue. But timing is everything, and he's become a scapegoat for rising public anxiety in The City.

OPINION: there’s a big problem with Boudin’s DA Stat. It doesn’t say what happens to cases beyond the filing of charges. This makes it difficult to measure Boudin’s effectiveness because the outcomes of cases — not mere charges — are what matter.

"In Jenkins’ world, reality seems to depend on her own personal definitions of words. A lavish consulting gig becomes volunteer work because she believes it to be so. A rollback of reform becomes progressive because she says so."

OPINION: Boudin's recall election seems to have put pressure on him to show he's tough on crime — at least in press releases and tweets. But it’s impossible to determine his actual performance when DA Stat doesn’t relay the final disposition of each case.
