Our client Sophia this
morning - through the food slot in her cell door. Serving 40yrs-to-life for breaking into an unoccupied house when she was homeless, mentally ill & destitute. No violence. Her getaway vehicle was a bicycle. She was arrested riding it on the sidewalk.

For many, #clemency is only the starting point. Our client Mary Reese remains in prison despite being granted clemency by Gov. Newsom in 2021. And she’s not alone. @MilenaBlake explains here: https://t.co/i06J3nxrHe

My client just asked me my honest opinion as to why this judge wants him to die in prison. And then the phone said “you have 60 second left.” What a fucking job.

10 yrs ago today Three Strikes Reform went into effect after voters overwhelmingly rejected "tough on crime" politics as usual. By last count, 3,419 people have been freed from life sentences. We couldn't be prouder or more inspired for the work ahead! - https://t.co/TicC4KCe3Q

This is a great project & I wish them well. @3strikesproject gets so many letters that, I regret to say, we don’t have enough staff to even open them all.

.@3strikesproject @mromano talks to @latimes about research he and his team conducted on real-time tracking of available crime data in California finding that, "homicides trend down or stay flat in some of our biggest cities." https://t.co/64GXDgSQAh

Shout out to @mromano for moving the needle on criminal justice reform in California!

[3 Strikes Project @3strikesproject]

We’re very happy for our client today—as his 79 year-to-life sentence for purse snatching was recalled and he was ordered released for time served!

[Mike Romano @mromano]

🎉⚖️Another great victory—esp for our client David who was sentenced to life & bet on himself when no one else would—and amazing lawyering by @MilenaBlake who never gave up on David or his case until he walked out of Folsom State Prison a free man for the first time in 22 yrs!
