Community Information Bulletin - Mehserle Trial |
|
At 4 PM on Thursday, July 8, 2010, the jury verdict was announced in the trial of Johannes Mehserle. Mr. Mehserle was convicted of involuntary manslaughter. As a precaution in case of possible rioting due to the verdict, all Oakland city offices, including the libraries, were closed by 3:30 PM. A side effect of the closure was the cancellation of the regularly scheduled meeting of the Greater Rockridge NCPC (beats 12Y and 13X), which would normally have taken place at 7:00 PM at the Rockridge Library Community Room. The NCPC officers hope to see you at the next regularly scheduled meeting, on August 12, when we hope to have more information about the effect of the recent budget cuts on Oakland's community policing efforts. Since sentencing in the Mehserle case is scheduled for August 6, we will hope that any city closures surrounding that will not affect us. |

Starting in June 2010, the NCPC will post here the presentations Vivek Bhatia presents at the NCPC meetings, analyzing recent crime trends in beats 12Y and 13X, with some numbers from neighboring beats. Vivek's work on these statistics is entirely volunteer, and we greatly appreciate his efforts. These statistics were previously available on Rockridgeresidents.org, which has now been shut down. Due to workload issues, Vivek is now doing the analysis quarterly instead of monthly. Background on the statistics: These analyses use crime median numbers instead of averages. The median number is the number exactly in the middle of a range of numbers: if the number is 15, the median is 8. Median numbers are affected less than average numbers by temporary spikes or drops.
