Heading: Bobby Evans

Text: Bobby Evans was recalled as a witness. He testified that before being imprisoned, he had been hired to shoot several people. He ultimately shot six people, but none died. James Hahn was a parole agent employed by Department of Corrections. He was also recalled to testify about the actions he took on Evans‘s behalf. He spoke to Evans around 10 times between June 1989 and October 30, 1989, the date Evans first testified at trial. In June, Evans told Agent Hahn that he was facing prison time after pleading guilty to attempted robbery in Alameda County, and that he did not want to return to prison because the BGF had threatened to kill him. Agent Hahn told Evans he would ―take care‖ of Evans‘s safety and security, but could not make any promises regarding either Evans‘s case in Alameda County or any other benefit he might receive for providing information. Agent Hahn said he would try to get the sentencing hearing in Alameda County postponed long enough so that Evans would end up serving his time in county jail rather than in prison. 15 Russell Giuntini was an Alameda County deputy district attorney. On two or three occasions, Agent Hahn called him and asked that Evans‘s sentencing hearing be postponed. Agent Hahn told Evans that, if he did have to return to prison, he (Hahn) would try to arrange it so that Evans could serve his sentence in another state. Agent Hahn also said he would try to place Evans and his family in a witness relocation program. Agent Hahn admitted that he did not document his efforts to have Evans‘s sentencing hearing postponed. William Denny also was an Alameda County deputy district attorney. Denny was prosecuting Evans‘s attempted robbery case. Giuntini testified that he called Denny at Agent Hahn‘s behest. In response to Giuntini‘s inquiries, Denny twice requested that Evans‘s sentencing hearing be postponed. Agent Hahn also called Denny once to ask if Evans had accumulated enough presentence credits to be released based on time served.
