The Stanford Law School Criminal Justice Center will host four candidates running for District Attorney of Santa Clara County in a public forum April 6, 2006, 6:00 to 7:30 p.m. at the law school. The candidates will answer questions directly from the audience, and Santa Clara County residents are encouraged to attend. The June 6, 2006 Santa Clara County DA election is noteworthy because for the first time since 1990, incumbent DA George Kennedy has decided not to run. The four vying for the seat--Assistant District Attorney Marc Buller, Superior Court Judge Dolores Carr, Deputy District Attorney Jim Shore, and Chief Assistant District Attorney Karyn Sinunu-will ultimately have to address public concern stemming from an investigative series that ran in the San Jose Mercury News in January 2006, "Stolen Justice, Tainted Trials," which revealed some flaws in the county's criminal justice system. The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office is the largest prosecuting agency in Northern California.
