Sen. Kamala Harris' record as a prosecutor in California came under sharp criticism from Rep. Tulsi Gabbard .

Harris served as California ’s attorney general from 2011 through 2016 and before that as San Francisco's district attorney.

We examined Harris ’ record in January , but we found some key information missing.

Kamala Harris' office argued in 2014 that some non-violent offenders needed to stay in prison to help combat wildfires.

A spokesperson for Harris said Harris was not directly involved in the decision to deny Cooper ’s petition in 2016 .

Harris did not specifically address all of the charges at the debate.
