Huge Congratulations to Sylvan Jaspen, Amanda Poznanski, Haley Wentz, and Fred Richardson! Attorney Jaspen got a full acquittal on 3 felony charges where her Client was facing up to 18 years in prison. The incident date in her case was almost 3 years ago - 6/3/20. Amazing! 2/8
Fellow Wisconsinites, don't believe the fear mongering. Vote No on both bail amendments on April 4th. And please remember to donate to the Milwaukee Freedom Fund! Here’s a link to their website: https://t.co/cwni0Vf3yF 12/12

As defense attorneys, we watch thousands of hours of video footage. We see police brutality almost daily. For those of us who were able to watch the murder of Tyre Nichols at the hands of police, it is the worst act of police violence we have ever seen. He deserved better. 1/7

We love you Attorney Robert Hampton III. ❤️ We are so lucky to be your colleagues and you should have never been treated this way. https://t.co/fcPwbbIz9L
Additional commentary: here is Robert Hampton III. He has been a dedicated PD since 2014. He is always smiling, a supportive colleague, and an incredible advocate. The actions of retired Judge Jeffrey Conen show a pattern of abuse that PDs in MKE face by the judiciary daily. 4/10
For the 2nd time in less than 4 years, a white Judge in MKE County took in a Public Defender for alleged contempt. This time Jeffrey Conen joins David Borowski, who was the 1st to make news for this egregious behavior. Both times it was a PD of color. https://t.co/exNx4g3hSG 1/2
With the odds stacked against her, @coll_cullen was able to brilliantly argue that the State did not meet their burden. Colleen tried 3 cases in the last few months 👑 4/6
THREAD: I need you to read this. This matters to us all. The NY Governor has proposed millions in tax breaks for luxury housing. Yet forcing taxpayers pay to unnecessarily cage 10000s more pretrial. Lawmakers deciding TODAY. Whether to say yes. Or no. More:https://t.co/3hSSldfa16
