Clerk to Act – November 17, 2009

Requests Granted

From: Supervisors Dufty & Campos To: Attorney General, Eric Holder

Requesting/Inquiring: Requesting a letter to:

Mr. Eric Holder Attorney General
U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20530-0001

Supervisors Bevan Dufty and David Campos inquire about the leadership by the U.S. Department of justice and Federal Bureau of Investigations to ensure that the terrible murder of Jorge Steven Lopez Mercado be thoroughly investigated as a possible Hate Crime.

Enactment of the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Act provides important tools to ensure that justice occurs in cases involving hate directed violence and murder because of a victim’s sexual orientation or gender identity.

It is disturbing that there are reports that the investigating officer made statements that Mr. Lopez Mercado deserved being murdered because of the “type of lifestyle” he was leading.

Supervisors Dufty and Campos request that the Justice Department advise the San Francisco Board of Supervisors of steps to investigate applicability of new federal civil rights violations covered by hate crime protections.

Thank you for addressing these concerns.
