Harris And False Murder Convictions
By Bob Small
Where does the buck stop?
Harry Truman, former US President, had a sign on his desk saying “The Buck Stops Here”. Evidently, Kamala Harris never heard of that sign, or of that concept, involving her fellow democrat, as the following case will show.
Jamal Trulove, an emerging movie and tv entertainer, was convicted in October 2010, of a murder he did not commit. To be clear, Kamala, though the San Francisco District Attorney at the time, did not prosecute the case directly, but oversaw the case and was in the courtroom frequently.
Frequently enough to be aware that the conviction was based almost solely on the single testimony of one Priscilla Lualemaga.
Trulove appealed his 50-year to life sentence, and in 2014, his conviction was overturned by the California Court of Appeals, citing “highly prejudicial prosecutorial misconduct” by Harris’ office, including falsely and improperly inflating the personal danger Lualemaga had been in.”
Trulove was acquitted at his retrial in 2015. Linda Allen, a prosecuting attorney in the case, was later fired. Oh, and Trulove was awarded $13 million and change for his unlawful incarceration. Harris, btw, has never publicly commented on the case.
In 2020 he voted the Democratic ticket. He stated that “The people that I work with in Hollywood, they’re all on the left,” he added. “I really had no other choice.” .
He explained his switch to Trump thusly “When we look at what our life was like when Trump was in office we felt like life was good compared to right now,” “We wasn’t in no wars, right now we’re in wars. Illegals wasn’t coming in, but they’re coming in now.”

She did strictly enforce anti-truancy laws.
“Before he was acquitted, Trulove spent years in maximum security prisons, where he was stabbed “ Kamala Harris didn’t frame and prosecute a man for murder is technically a true statement, as it was done by her office, not her personally.
We do know three facts from this case;
The murderer of Seu Kuku has never been caught,
Jamal Trulove was falsely imprisoned.and may never have the career he should have had
Kamala Harris has never expressed regret.
