Overview

Prosecutorial Misconduct is prevalent in many states. In California it has become an epidemic that the U.S. Department of Justice and state officials have finally decided to stop. 50 plus years of victimization of innocent people and their families by Law enforcement and District Attorneys is at pandemic proportions. in 2016, former CA Assemblywoman Patty Lopez successfully passed Assembly bill 1909 and Governor Jerry Brown signed it into law. She said, I hear so many stories about innocent people across California, and across the country, who have been wrongfully convicted...I just hope that when people think the rules don't apply to them, they will think twice before they abuse their power.

Author Information

Delecia Holt studied applied research and statistical analysis at San Diego State University. She ran for the US House of Representatives. Has been a small business owner since age twenty-one. Having proudly served as juror and jury foreman on many cases in the past, she understands the legal system well. Especially, after falling victim to prosecutorial misconduct at the hands of the Orange County, California District Attorneys office in 2008 and again in 2010. Delecia is sharing the real life cases of women and families that whose lives have been devastated by overzealous prosecutors that broke the law just to get a conviction. Imagine a 16 year old girl unrepresented in court, no jury, no parents or guardians to protect her and having a D.A. prosecutor boasting that she just gave the 16 year old girl, 3 consecutive life sentences for a non-violent crime that she did not commit. Or the battered wife that used to be a CHP officer who defended herself and child only to be convicted of murder. What do we say to their families hoping and praying that one day someone will help bring their loved ones home to them. Evil can only prevail if good men and women sit by and do nothing to stop it. Our children and grandchildren will look us in the eye one day, and ask us; what did we do to stop people from being victimized by law enforcement. What will your answer be to your child?
