“We will continue to hold these men accountable for these serious charges that will likely land them behind bars for the rest of their lives,” said Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price. In a release, Price framed the decision as one that could still deliver stiff penalties. If found guilty, Bivens faces 265 years to life in prison, while Green faces 175 years to life in prison, according to a release by Price’s administration. She had originally sought to bar any chance of the defendants - Trevor Green, 22, of Richmond and Ivory Bivens, 24, of Vallejo - leaving prison if convicted for a killing that she described as “unthinkable” for the Bay Area.Įven so, Bivens and Green could face decades - even the rest of their lives - in prison under revised murder charges filed by Price, who won election in November while campaigning on a platform to reverse the nation’s legacy of mass incarceration. The decision not to pursue special-circumstances murder charges in the November 2021 killing of 23-month-old Jasper Wu marks a distinct reversal from Price’s predecessor, former District Attorney Nancy O’Malley. Jasper Wu was struck and killed by a stray bullet during a shooting on Interstate 880 in Oakland on Saturday. OAKLAND - In a shift to an already-contentious case, Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price decided this week to leave open the possibility of parole for the men accused of killing a 23-month-old toddler during a freeway shooting on Interstate 880.
