As a criminal defense attorney, I have seen many aspects of the criminal justice system that need drastic reform.
We must:
• End mass incarceration.
• Abolish the death penalty (except for certain incorrigible corporations who are legally deemed “persons”).
• Reform the bail system so that innocent people are not coerced to plead guilty to crimes they did not commit just to get out of jail with a time-served sentence – which happens often, every working day, in our criminal courts.
• End racist gang enhancements.
• End Three Strikes laws.
• Stop trying children as adults.
• Make the jails and prisons safer.
• Focus on restorative justice and, where possible, rehabilitation.
