In Alameda County Superior Court, our client was charged in a case originating in the City of Alameda with a felony violation of Vehicle Code Section 10851(a) – auto theft. Aggressive negotiations with the Alameda County District Attorney's Office led to a disposition of a deferred entry of judgment on a misdemeanor that will allow for a dismissal of all charges.
“The death penalty is a lie, a misguided mistake born of anger and frustration. Capital punishment has become a perverse monument to inequality, to how some lives matter and others do not. It is a violent example of how we protect and value the rich and abandon and devalue the poor. The death penalty is a grim, disturbing shadow formed by the legacy of racial apartheid and bias against the poor that condemns the disfavored among us, but corrupts us all. It’s the perverse symbol elected officials use to strengthen their ‘tough on crime’ reputations and distract us from confronting the causes of violence. It is finally the enemy of grace, redemption and all of us who recognize that each person is more than their worse act.”
