Client arrested in San Francisco, California for alleged domestic violence against her boyfriend. After we were able to make sure no charges were filed, our petition to seal the client'srecord pursuant to Penal Code Section 851.91 was granted in San Francisco Superior Court.
Practice area(s): Domestic Violence
Court: San Francisco
“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.”
