[Sosfbay-discuss] Justice In Santa Clara County

[Wes Rolley]

After a long walk late this afternoon with my wife, I came back, turned 
on Channel 11 news, and heard the story of Miguel Sermeno.

    Sermeno was arrested on felony hit-and-run charges after walking the
    half-block from his house to the scene of an accident. An
    overzealous deputy district attorney ignored evidence that pointed
    to a more likely suspect, instead winning a wrongful conviction.

This led me to the Mercury News.  Todays MN had the first of a five part 
series on IN justice in Santa Clara County.  It is appalling and, from 
my own observations just in traffic court, has a racial side to it that 
de facto punishes those who are "different."

I urge everyone to read this series by Fredrick Tulsky.  Then, I would 
hope that there is a way to turn this into a formal protest of the lack 
of social justice in our INjustice system.  We often take shots at the 
"Murky News" but this time they are doing something right.
