Press release from the Alameda County District Attorney's Office: August 17, 2021 In October 2020, the family of Oscar Grant contacted District Attorney Nancy O'Malley, asking her to re-examine the involvement of former BART Officer Anthony Pirone. In response, DA O'Malley assembled a team of highly experienced attorneys to conduct an exhausted review of the facts and evidence surrounding the events that led to, and resulted in Mr. Grant's death. The team then analyzed the statues governing the law of murder, manslaughter and any other crimes that could apply. They looked at any applicable legal doctrine, and case law, as each applies to the facts and the evidence. This press release was produced by the Alameda County District Attorney's Office.
