OAKLAND — A Vallejo man was sentenced to 14 years in state prison for the death of his friend who was shot and killed after the two broke into a Dublin man’s home in what police called a home invasion robbery attempt.Rickey White, 31, pleaded no contest to voluntary manslaughter in the death of 28-year-old Adrianna Marie Navarro, also of Vallejo. Navarro was shot and killed by her ex-boyfriend after she and White, who was also wounded, allegedly broke into the man’s Dublin home on Jan. 1, 2020.White was originally charged with murder under a legal theory that allows a cohort to a crime to be charged when the victim uses lawful self-defense against the perpetrators.The Dublin resident told police that he looked through the peephole, saw only Navarro and cracked the door. That’s when Navarro and White burst in, with White carrying a gun, according to court records. During the fracas that ensued, he retrieved his own gun and fired at Navarro and White.

By Katelyn Polantz, Paula Reid and Kaitlan Collins | CNNFederal prosecutors have obtained an audio recording of a summer 2021 meeting in which former President Donald Trump acknowledges he held onto a classified Pentagon document about a potential attack on Iran, multiple sources told CNN, undercutting his argument that he declassified everything.The recording indicates Trump understood he retained classified material after leaving the White House, according to multiple sources familiar with the investigation. On the recording, Trump’s comments suggest he would like to share the information but he’s aware of limitations on his ability post-presidency to declassify records, two of the sources said.CNN has not listened to the recording, but multiple sources described it. One source said the relevant portion on the Iran document is about two minutes long, and another source said the discussion is a small part of a much longer meeting.Special counsel Jack Smith, who is leading the Justi...Citing ‘lack of trust’ Amazon corporate workers stage walkout

By Catherine Thorbecke | CNNAmazon corporate workers staged a walkout on Wednesday to signal a “lack of trust” in the company’s leadership, in what is perhaps the most visible sign of dissent among the e-commerce giant’s office workers in recent memory.On Wednesday afternoon, organizers of the walkout said more than 1,000 corporate employees participated in the event. In an email the night before, organizers had said more than 1,800 Amazon employees committed to join the walkout to call attention to employee frustrations on multiple fronts, including the company’s push to get workers in the office at least three days a week.“We’re here because a lot of Amazonians feel in their gut that something is not right with the company,” Eliza Pan, a former Amazon worker and co-founder of the Amazon Employees for Climate Justice group, said Wednesday at the walkout in Seattle. “And there are a lot of signs of this, such as a rigid, one-size-fits-all return to office mandate.”The main in-person...Fujinami wants to start again for A’s.

OAKLAND – Shintaro Fujinami would like to return to the starting rotation at some point but manager Mark Kotsay said he and the Oakland A’s will continue to take a measured approach with the Japanese-born right-hander.Fujinami earned his second MLB win Tuesday, as he entered the A’s game with the Atlanta Braves with two outs in the top of the ninth inning. Fujinami used a 97-mph sinker to retire Austin Riley for the last out, and the A’s won the game 2-1 in the bottom of the ninth as Seth Brown scored from third base on Riley’s fielding error on a ground ball by Jonah Bride with the bases loaded.It was Fujinami’s third appearance in four games since Saturday and the one run he’s allowed in the past 2 1/3 innings before Wednesday was a solo homer to Braves first baseman Matt Olson on Memorial Day.For the season, though, Fujinami is 2-5 with a 12.00 ERA in 30 innings, as he continues to work his way back from a disastrous start to his big-league career in April.“We have no plans for F...Ousted SF DA Boudin says he won't run in 2024, takes new job

Members of the same groups also protested proposed increases to the police budget. Both items went before the Oakland City Council later Tuesday afternoon. Mayor Sheng Thao has proposed cutting the budget of the Department of Violence Prevention by $3.95 million each year for two years. About 2,000 fewer people will be served each fiscal year if the cuts are approved. Victims identified after double fatal Tesla crash on Highway 1 near Pescadero "It really, really impacts us," said Vamsey Palagummi, managing director for Communities United for Restorative Youth Justice, whose members protested Tuesday and who get funding for violence prevention from the Oakland Department of Violence Prevention.
