Freelance journalist Bryan Carmody obtained a confidential police report that included information about the February death of prominent San Francisco public defender Jeff Adachi. "This has raised important questions about our handling of this case and whether the California shield law was violated," Scott's statement read. The department, Scott said, under the oversight of the San Francisco Police Commission, will also review protocols involving members of the news media.
