Really, we need an appeals court to say a cop can’t stop someone for having a weird reaction to the fact that someone in an unmarked car is staring at her and following her, and because she is a woman who crossed the Mexico border recently? This dude is out of control. Thank you Fourth District for shutting this down. (People v. Mendoza E071835.)

What and who JJC is inspired by: public defenders I have worked for, with, and next to. my clients who have battled things no one should and are still here. innocence and guilt and everything in between. My coworkers, who fight just as hard as the PDs I love, for many of the same reasons. My husband who was once voted "most Christ like" (every Jewish girl's dream). My Corgi who loves everyone. The constitution. Tabloids. My mom, for giving me a voice. My dad, for teaching me what to say. My brother, for teaching me how to say it. View more posts
