    Worked two back to back night court shifts last week. 18 hrs in Brooklyn criminal court. $35k bail set (not including $500k outlier). Witnessed: Prosecutor power. Shame. Fear. Health crises. Court watchers. Lost housing. A judge unwilling to follow law. Resilience. Observations:

    NY law only allows bail in amount necessary to ensure return to court. Not amt that will ensure return to court in shackles. Any amt more than a person can afford is per se excessive. Yet time & again, this judge (as others) set bail knowing it will only result in human caging.

    The shooter was a white nationalist driven by conspiracy theories about Jews helping immigrants. He set a mosque on fire before shooting up a synagogue. Attacking a Muslim civil rights org and blaming Muslim women for white nationalist violence is absolutely disgusting.

    I cannot overstate the significance of all 3 victims pleading guilty to crimes they did not commit. This is not an anomaly; it is the cornerstone of our criminal legal system.

    Two of my clients lived in special shelters they fought to gain admission into. They had case workers. Medical attention. Counseling. Assistance finding work. Any amount of bail—even $10—meant not only jail but homelessness. I told judge this. Jailed them anyway. That's illegal.

    Every time a prosecutor asked for bail, judge set bail. Every time they consented to release, no matter crime, the judge released. Prosecutors have power effectively to end cash bail if they wanted to. Their requests are single greatest determinant of whether bail will be set.

    A conviction in NY for possession of any quantity of a controlled substance (even residue) could bar you from public housing for 4 years.

    I called out a woman’s name. She spoke no English. Another woman walked into interview room. Didn't know her, but reassured her all would be ok. I showed her a sheet w/ various Chinese dialects. Pointed to “Fuzhou.” No interpreter available. She’d spend the night in that cell.

    For explanation of how and why judges can so easily & routinely violate the law & get away with it, here is how I explained it to a group of brilliant fifth graders who were furious that a judge would set bail knowing it was far beyond someone's means.

    PAY ATTENTION. Barr’s most despicable act this week wasnt lying about Muellers report. It was ruling that asylum seekers will now be *indefinitely detained.* You can do something about it. Give to help free people like Jorge (👇):

    Another reality reinforced over the last two days of night court: “Ability to pay” bail is very different from “ability to afford bail.” Difference btwn eating, paying rent, bills, school, health, transportation.

    This also happened: A person who in just 7 months will be *required* to be released with no bail in under the new NY bail statute had bail set for allegedly knocking on a door bc he wanted to collect his belongings.

    As more news comes out of Poway I cannot help but think about the fact that we have a President who saw fit on the day before the end of Passover to try to recast the deadly 2017 anti-Semitic white supremacist march as a gathering to honor a Robert E Lee. A national disgrace.

    Proposed rule: Prosecutors should not be allowed to cite "possible gang ties" when asking for bail. The only purpose for doing so is to scare judges already disinclined to release someone. Happens all the time. We object. But damage already done once disclosed.

    Saw volunteers from in audience. Always so encouraging to see. I went up & introduced myself. Said I was happy to answer any questions. When bail was set on one of clients who’d lose his shelter, they came out to share frustration. They said they’d share the story.
