The CDCR said Hall was most recently charged in November 2022 with attempted murder in connection with a stabbing. In February, following a plea deal with the Alameda County District Attorney's Office, Hall pleaded guilty to assault with a deadly weapon, and the attempted murder charges and other special allegations were dismissed.
On Monday, former Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price, who left office in December 2024 following a recall vote, claimed her office was not to blame for Hall's early parole in the 2022 stabbing. In a press release, Price said she wanted to "set the record straight" about Hall's release, noting the 2022 crime took place before she was in office and that his plea deal was negotiated following her tenure.

However, in her subsequent press conference, Jones Dickson disputed Price's account and said Price's prior directive against charging enhancements led directly to Hall's early release.
Jones Dickson said Hall's plea was negotiated in January, and the sentencing in February occurred when Price's directive was still in place.
Jones Dickson said since none of the enhancements and none of the strikes were allowed to be considered in Hall's plea, he was able to serve half his time, two years in custody instead of four.
Legal analyst Steven Clark said the 2022 plea deal will continue to be a factor hanging over the case.
On Friday, Byrd was honored with a law enforcement procession from the Alameda County Coroner's Bureau in Oakland to a funeral home in Sacramento. First responders stood at attention and saluted on highway overpasses as the procession headed east on Interstate Highway 580.
Byrd spent 11 years with the CDCR, mostly as a correctional officer. Last year, he became a parole agent working with the Oakland parole unit.
