The honor was ours!
So honored to receive @CACJNews Journalistic Integrity Award today. Writing about criminal justice is an increasingly difficult task, but I do my best to try and keep the conversations honest. Appreciate the hell out anyone who respects our role as referee.

AB 518, sponsored by @CACJNews, SIGNED! Thank you @CAgovernor and @BuffyWicks for rejecting the tough on crime policies of the past and helping ensure that judges have the discretion to choose the sentence that best fits the crime. #CALeg

Prosecutors use tenuous evidence to disproportionately prosecute POC under the threat of gang enhancements. Today is a good day for @GavinNewsom to take a huge step toward remedying that by signing #AB333 into law #CALeg @sydneykamlager
Ending qualified immunity is a bipartisan issue. Those tasked with enforcing the law should not be immune from being held responsible when they violate the rights of Americans!#EndQualifiedImmunity
This is yet another reason for ending Qualified Immunity @campaigntoendqi
