Judge says San Francisco mayor’s brother can be resentenced

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Mayor London Breed’s incarcerated brother could get a reduction in his 44-year manslaughter sentence after a judge ruled he can be resentenced according to new sentencing laws. The San Francisco Chronicle reports the judge’s ruling Monday, citing changes to the definition of murder in California. Napoleon Brown, Breed’s older brother, has served more than half of a 44-year sentence for a 2000 conviction for armed robbery, carjacking and involuntary manslaughter. In 2000, Brown and another man robbed a diner in San Francisco. His then-girlfriend was driving the getaway car and was either pushed or fell from the vehicle — and was fatally struck by a drunken driver.
