FamilyLawCourts.com  -  No one over eleven believes it's working.

District Attorneys - Sometimes the problem is District attorneys refusing to prosecute because the police haven't filed reports.  Sometimes the problem is DA's refusing to prosecute family law attorneys who steal from clients; and sometimes the problem is DA's sexually harassing their own employees.  (Hel-lo Oregon!)  But on the other hand, we should also remember how City Attorneys foster ongoing child endangerment.

What if it's the DA who is sexually harassing employees?  OR has a history of that, including a former long-time DA, then judge - now registered sex offender.  But today, we an entire DA's office backing the offender in Dean Gushwa.

Unfortunately the entire DA's office backed the bad guy. 

In the Bay Area, Contra Costa County DA, (in addition to their Dirty DUI
divorce cases), has another problem.  The Contra Costa DA's office has a sex clubWhich may explain in part, San Francisco's 900 unsolved rape cases.  Prosecutors dropped charges against Gressett, but may refile.

San Diego's problems are more complex.  DA's trying to date
Defendants.

Or worse, ADA Kelly Mok, head of the family proection unit has repeatedly failed to perform.  From Joyce Murphy, (and not bothering to rise from her chair to argue for Murphy to read a two minute victim's impact statement) to the children of stabbing survivor, (23 stab wounds) Kendra Beebe, Kelly Mok continues either downplaying crimes, or continuing to put victims at risk.  And why was the fact that Kendra's husband's conversation with the stabber, not an important part of the child custody case? 

Some counties have District Attorneys who are right on top of things.  Others, more like San Diego and harmful to the public will be featured here.
 

Including federal attorneys, such as San Diego's Laura Duffy, who as noted in the North County Times, allowed 
trafficked children to remain at risk for months, sometimes, as in the case of one young female, two years before "rescuing" the child.

San Diego, in particular, isn't safe for women.  However, with Bonnie Dumanis as DA or mayor, San Diego women and children will remain at risk, although 
Bonnie Dumanis goes to great lengths to protect herself from perceived threats, by letter.

San Diego ....Good weather, and an easy to be killed, while Dumanis disbands the Public Corruption Unit....and hedges against public disclosures in a lawsuit where Dumanis, ultimately,
settled.


San Francisco :  Zen judge Mary Morgan on the other hand, presided over a behavior court.  It's why Danielle Keller was killed.  Although Jim Mitchell blew off court appearances regarding his violating court orders, Judge Morgan brushed aside prosecutor's request she jail the son of a convicted murderer. 

For his part, Mitchell, promptly returned to Novato and beat in the head of Danielle Koller with a baseball bat.  Judge Morgan later retired, but not before being feted at a dinner where officials could express their appreciation.
California:  2010 - 2011 
San Diego:  Bonnie Dumanis


Should resign.  Instead, Dumanis is running for mayor of San Diego, while refusing to prosecute some attorneys who admit to white-collar crimes.

Responsible for the death of
Diana Gonzalez, after not prosecuting her husband after he kidnapped, raped and beat her.  Dumanis "declined" to prosecute him and Diana Gonzalez was knifed to death a short time later.  Dumanis also  wasted taxpayer dollars on her vendetta against Cynthia Sommer.


But things are different when Bonnie Dumanis feels threatened, as this news clip demonstrated.



Yolo County


Jeff Riesig

Yolo County:  How badly does the state treat women?  Consider the misspent funds that were to go to rape victims, badly.  Thank you Yolo County Probation Department, and DA Jeff Riesig

Meet Dr. William Ayres, long-time, highly respected President of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Ayres "saw hundreds of adolescent patients referred by San Mateo County's juvenile justice system, its court-appointed attorney program, pediatricians and social workers. County officials praised him in 2002 for his "tireless effort to improve the lives of children." 

                 
Also, arrested after an apparently long career as a pedophile.  As in straight out of Harvard.

The problem now?   Still no prosecution by the DA.  Foot dragging much?  The DA said in 2009 he would retry the case.  Soon.  He left office without doing so. 

So the problem is i
t's now almost 2012 and DA Jeff Rosen

has not brought Ayers to trial.

Our tax dollars at work.

Delaware City Attorney
Darren Schulman
(when it's a council-run government, sometimes it's better to focus on the people who hired these guys.)


Schulman, a Harvard attorney with Admin experience, seems (based on past interviews) a little 
overly excited to Prosecute which further depletes the public coffers. How else to explain how a drunk woman spraying police with breast milk winds up over-charged with "assault" and winds up pleading guilty to assaulting her husband and obstructing official business?

Our recommendation?  

The city council might want to counsel Schulman to take his foot off the gas. 

 

PA:  2011 

How judges protect  stalkers who are judges.  

Hint:  the police aren't called.

It's important to remember female attorneys are likewise stalked by some judges. At least when Judge Gerald L. Alonge is on the bench.   And fellow jurists gave him a pass.
