@@YourWifesBoyfriend The cops arrested a bystander watching a protest (he is a nurse, and was there taking photos of buildings as part of his photography hobby). She charged him with being in a gang, and being part of a riot....she had no evidence, so she lied to a grand jury to prosecute him anyway, and referenced other 'evidence' she had to the grand jury that didn't exist. Now that she is fired, her other cases were distributed to other prosecutors and they are finding many more cases where she lied, knowingly charged people who were innocent, over-prosecuted people, etc. Here she is doubling down on her actions...telling her bar association that lying to a grand jury and putting innocent people in jail is a-ok, and that she'd do it again.
@@Ocrilat The first part of what you said doesn't sound true, but if she really prosecuted a guy without evidence, that's a problem. That happens too often because the system is full of corrupt people. Just keep in mind that lots of rioters lie and say they're just taking pictures or video or whatever, plenty of Antifa members pose as "press". That being said, even if he's guilty, they need to get him fair and square, not some kangarooo court nonsense that we see all the time.
Unbelievable that she 'lied' to the grand jury, but thank god, the Public Defender saw right thru the lies of the prosecutor. The Arizona State Bar only wants to suspend her for 2 years??? She needs to be suspended a LOT longer maybe even permanently!!
Frankly, she should be in jail. Making a mockery of the justice system, ruining innocent lives, purguring the court. 10 years would be pretty merciful for someone who I’m certain has cost innocent people more than 10 years
Pretty scary that she still believes this innocent man was guilty of anything. So many judges and prosecutors in our country need to be removed and replaced with people who actually believe in upholding our Constitutional Rights.
I doubt she truly believes it at this point she's just in too deep and is probably just trying to preserve her license. If she backpedals now its bye bye law license, if she doubles down then its up to the system to determine her guilt. In her experience the system probably protects so she's making the rational decision to put her chips there.
This is one of the many things wrong with our legal system. They are so arrogant, they can’t ever admit they were wrong and they double down even when proven to be wrong. She should not only be disbarred, but she and all the police involved should be criminally charged and civilly sued for false imprisonment, filing a false report, as well as 1st and 4th Amendment violations.
Of course she did not admit to any wrongdoing. Our laws discourage admitting fault. Doing so increases one’s vulnerability to liability claims. It is a fundamental flaw within our justice system.
Prosecutors have sent people to prison for decades never been prosecuted themselves for misconduct. Worst thing that can ever happen is they get disbarred. They have nothing to lose defendants have everything to lose. This is why so many take plea deals because juries are generally not too bright and are easily swayed by a prosecutor. Many times they don't understand the law they are not attorney's they haven't spent years learning the law. Judge only reads a few pages to the jury sends them off to decide your fate. Lot of times a jury will bully person who wants to hold out on conviction trials are decided by 1/4 of the jury in most cases. Jury trials result in conviction 85% of the time in State trials and 90% in Federal trials.
This is a perfect example of how prosecutors and police can arrest some one, and charge them , with out any probable cause! And the fact that she can sit there and say that she feels that she did nothing wrong, just shows how little fear of any responsibility, she will have for violating the law! She should not only be disbarred, she should be put in prison! With the cops who arrested him!
Below, you'll find the law and punishments for any government official who violates the rights of a citizen: 18 U.S. Code § 242 - Deprivation of rights under color of law 1 Year in Prison Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; 10 Years in Prison And if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; Life in Prison And if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
She had no business being a prosecutor. How many other people has she falsely charged because she took dirty cops words as truth and failed to actually do any kind of investigation on what he was doing. But the gall of police said that this man who had a camera, was dressed in a tee shirt and shorts was more dangerous than bloods and crips. Corruption on an unbelievable scale.
To dirty cops an honest man with a camera is more dangerous than a psychopath with a gun. Example is how there are so many incidents of videos of lying, quota filling traffic cops getting caught damaging cellphone videos or trying to erase the camera data on the cameras a lot of people have in their vehicles now. And they put this kind of effort in to cover up questionable traffic stops. Imagine what they’d do in more important cases 🤨
They do this all over and all the time. This is NOT an isolated incident. They know 99% will enter a plea. The 1% that are found not guilty never demand their refund, damages of counter claim, or never bond the case. There should be a Writ of Attachment (arrest) made by the magistrate that signed the probable cause affidavit.
This...the simple fact that she put forward that perspective should be enough to prevent her from ever holding a position of power within the justice system ever again. Even if she one day gets her license back, it should be ambulance chasing or DUI defense at best.
She defended herself by saying something about murdering a spouse? That has no correlation at all to taking photos. She even said that she charged people based on information she didnt have. That is a blantant 4th and 5th amendment violation. She has no business in law.
Murdering a spouse...I just shook my head at the fuckery I was listening to. The Attorneys General of the state should pursue charges against her on behalf of all those people wrongfully accused and sentenced as a result of this disgrace in a dress.
She basically said "Guilty until proven innocent" and she thinks that was gonna help her case. I hope she never works in law again and I *WISH* she was arrested along with the officers that lied on their report.
That she used *that* as an analogy was telling of how sloppy her reasoning can be. Sunset photos would absolutely be relevant if it was your alibi and metadata showed that you were elsewhere during a murder. Could he have been a secret gang member? Yeah, but it sure as hell wasn't likely, and the guy was covered in reasonable doubt.
Even if we accept her false premise that he was a "Legal Observer" it still makes his arrest unconstitutional. Walking down the sidewalk and taking pictures is constitutionally protected conduct.
@@daversjunfortunately a lot of courts do take that as valid, though they aren't supposed to. Police misconduct is wrapped up with prosecutorial and judicial misconduct, but we're even further from holding them to account than we are police.
This woman should not just lose her law license…she should go to prison. Anyone abusing the power of their position as a prosecutor should face the kind of consequences that they have imposed upon the citizens they were supposed to serve. She believed in the police reports? Wow, that’s rich.
Because it's her police gang against the people. Any people that speak out against her gang or document the crimes of her gang are, in her mind, a rival gang.

If there is any justice left in our "justice system", this prosecutor will be held accountable for her unethical behavior. Ideally, she deserves to be given the same prison sentence she was trying to falsely hoist upon this innocent man. The crux of her argument boils down to nothing but unacceptable excuses.
Her analogy of taking photos of the sunset and then murdering one's spouse is laughably flawed. This demonstrates her lack of reasoning ability, and every prosecution she's made should be called into question.
Exactly what I was thinking! Her bs will cost taxpayers $$, not only for reviewing her previous cases, but any lawsuits that may ensue. Her actions and analogy infuriates me!
YEAH....her entire history should be examined and ALL the innocent people she has jailed should be exonerated and released and PAID for her crimes against them
Have no idea if the guy is innocent or not, but what she is saying is logical and proven to happen with rioters. Your lack of a functioning brain is the issue here. Rioters know how the system works and will manipulate it. Logically, they know if they just take some videos of what's going on, they can then participate in the riot and falsely claim to be a journalist. Most people, including criminals, have at least a semi functioning brain. You're just a unique case of zero brain function, that or maybe you're intentionally lying to push a certain goal.
This woman has lost her mind completely. Everyone has the right to stand on public sidewalks, it does not matter what is going on around them if they are not participating. That does not make you a criminal or a gang member. Even if he was a gang member, if he was not doing anything wrong, leave him alone. Sue this idiot and the cops.
@@-108-yup she’s trying too find barriers because she knows , she’s already boxed inn in her BS . We need too stop this ARIZONA JUDICIAL CORRUPTION cases ….
Everyone knows blm and antifa used support personal there cover was being a photographer. The fact he has the nerve to go out as the exact threat description after they announced it publicly that tells you something. -- also remember every Antifa and blm person have lied about it. Nobody will admit it if that’s what they were doing. Understand antifa and blm has a ton of power and they are the only ones with the connections to get a DA fired. That’s why I’m concerned about what I’m seeing. No avg joe would’ve got her fired.
This is why prosecutors need clear cut consequences for trying to ruin an innocent man’s life . Her reasoning was nonsensical to say the least. I hope she is facing jail time because she or other prosecutors will feel emboldened to go down this path if there’s no consequences for their actions.
This lady is a danger to society. Taking pictures and murdering your spouse later in the day and comparing it to this man's situation is mind-boggling. Just from the video evidence shown here by the news, is enough to tell anyone with any reasonable amount of common sense that this man was not apart of the protest, a monitor and definitely not a gang member. This lady is looney.
The whole situation was nothing more than police officers and the DA all up in their feelings because people were protesting against police misconduct. They all just wanted to make examples of the protestors in an effort to stamp out anyone questioning their behavior in the future.
@@jarrodl719bahahhahahaha it’s going to be so satisfying seeing what trumps civil penalty will be. You realize the decision is strictly up to the judge right? Due to his failure of a lawyers incompetence. 😂😂😂😂😂

Imagine being snatched off the street and threatened with *decades* in prison *just because you were taking pictures on a public sidewalk...* This woman is a sociopath.
Her lack of judgment is alarming. It is better for 100 guilty people to go free than 1 innocent be convicted. That is our legal standard. She needs to relearn it.
I am not remotely liberal by any means (indeed, I'm a lifelong conservative), but I totally agree with you. It is better for 100 guilty people to go free than 1 innocent be convicted is one of the foundations for a just system of justice.
@@diogenesesenna9323 I am a conservative myself. There is nothing more conservative than respecting the Constitution, Bill of Rights, ensuring fair trials, and preventing the innocent from being wrongfully persecuted. These are also supposed to be liberal values. Yet many liberal and conservative officials forget it.
This woman should be prosecuted for corruption of the power of her office. Investigation should lead not only to disbarment, but indictment for criminal misuse of the power of her office. Appalling.
What’s scary is she obviously not very intelligent but tries to overcome it with her ego. This is exactly the kind of person who ruins people’s lives and never loses a minute of sleep over it. Every one of her prosecutions needs to be examined and possibly overturned and re-tried if necessary.
"Every one of her prosecutions needs to be examined and possibly overturned and re-tried if necessary." This. Note also, in crimes where there was certainly a criminal, her arrogant incompetence means the real criminals went free.
It's a Constitutionally protected activity(taking pictures in public of police activity). And the SCOTUS has ruled on it before more times than once. You just can't get in the cop's way to get the pictures or record. IIRC SCOTUS has even said how far is appropriate in one case in their ruling. I just can't remember atm.
@@jdgoesham5381 I believe it was 8-15 ft but I think that was appealed by the AZ Supreme court as unconstitutional as well. Been a while since I've read that so I may be wrong.
Here you are conflating law enforcement with constitutionality. What makes you even _think_ that police and district attorneys would even recognize that we have a constitution? Police have a job: To arrest people. Prosecutors have a job: To convince a jury that the person arrested should be put in prison. Nowhere in either of their job descriptions is anything about upholding an alleged constitution. (edit) Sorry, I hit the wrong "reply" button
Arizona, lots of Trump loving, right wingers. They wanted to put protesters away for twenty years, and probably have. Be careful what you wish for. Hmm, maybe we can get her charged as an insurectionest??lol, oh the irony…
Thank you so much for exposing this travesty. I just can’t understand how anyone, especially police, prosecutors and judges who never ask questions, can sit there and watch, and permit an innocent person to be arrested and ruined. However, this is by no means exceptional. I am so disgusted.
This prosecutor is so hell bent on not admitting that she had no direct evidence to even pursue this case that by definition she is corrupt both morally and legally. Being on a sidewalk taking pictures is not against the law in fact it's a constitutionally protected activity. The cops had no reasonable articulable suspicion that he was a gang member so they violated his rights and arrested him anyway and this clown doesn't see anything wrong with that and wants to put him behind bars for many years. This is a travesty. The cops and this so called Prosecutor need to face harsh discipline and when this is all over they should be sued by this guy for millions. Too bad the tax-payers will have to foot the bill however.
Looks like the cops saw the guy and didn't want him on the streets, so they arrest him. They don't care what happens to people, how an arrest can ruin someone's life, make them broke. Cops just don't care.
Is it illegal to belong to a gang in the US? I would have thought that freedom Aof association should cover that as long you don't personally commit a crime.
I'd say that woman is a few bricks short of a load. I can only imagine how her less-than stellar "job performance" has ruined many lives - and she still stands behind her very, very bad behavior.
Agree. Either the state or the feds have to look at every case she had her fingers on, then make that information public and prosecute her if any misconduct was found.
Just a friendly reminder- charges may be dropped . They still remain in your record. You have to get your record EXPUNGED. It costs thousands of dollars and is tons of paperwork. All of these individuals need to sue.
If you admit that you believe the person was a legal observer, then you admit that you do not believe they were a gang member. It's right there in the name, observing for legal purposes is not gang activity, it's the right of every citizen. That is a point blank admission that she abused her power to silence witnesses to police misconduct. I can't believe she thought it was a good defense to say that the ruling was because she believed him to be a legal observer. That is SO much worse as a motivation.
This prosecutor shoud be in JAIL. How on earth these cops and prosecuters can lie about others and ruin their lives with jail time just get away with a slap on the wrist.
That is an angry woman "punishing" people to make herself feel better about her burned up pathetic life... its all over her face. The chilling part is from her expression, she didnt believe shed get caught... cats and boxed wine turned this woman bitter, and she used the power of her job to take it out on random people.
Not only should she be disbarred and lose her law license. She should be in jail. I hope the people who where falsely accused by the cops and this woman sue the hell out of the state, the town, the cops and this woman.
So basically what she's saying is guilty until proven innocent. She made a mistake, said you're guilty and it's up to YOU to prove you're innocent. The mere fact that she thinks she did nothing wrong is proof that she should have her law license removed. Basically she's saying she'd do it again!
Dave produces some of the best investigative journalism in the country..AZ you are lucky to have him.. And please, put this criminal prosecutor behind bars..
She based her decision on information she received, and I love this bit, information she DIDNT receive.. How on earth does THAT work? “ Well, your honor, I believe he was guilty based on the lack of evidence found against him “. Then there was her fantastic analogy that someone could take pictures of buildings then go home and murder their spouse, does that make them not guilty of murdering their spouse? This woman is insane, and for the good of the public, she needs to be permanently removed from ever being in any position of legal authority ever again.
Wait, if she thought he was a legal observer its still improper to charge him as being in a gang. So her defense is that even though he didnt actually do anything criminal he might have come with some people who did something wrong so he's part of a gang? This is why i dont support the death penalty, judges who deny new trials based on new evidence and statistics that tell the public that organized crime is up. She is a bold liar and so is the cop that arrested the nurse. Legal observers by definition do not interfere with the function of police officers.
That's how all law enforcement thinks. Got pulled over next to Beach in December for a license plate bulb out. Cop told me if he didn't search my trunk, "he won't know if I have weapons of mass destruction or not" My traffic stop went from a license plate bulb ticket to searching me for "weapons of mass destruction" I'm a white guy that is a mechanic with glasses..... Nothing about me looked like I was from somewhere else.
@dunbarf2413 Well, considering the officer made the comment of weapons of mass destruction..... I was alluding to the fact that I do not look like someone from a different country that the U.S. has had problems with. Weapons of mass destruction are usually tied to countries of the middle east...... You turned a completely not about black people comment into an anti black persian comment....... You're one of those people that walked down the street crying racism just so you have an argument where you FEEL you're right
was she a child prosecutor before? I had a similar charge as a minor and was told it was mistaken identity and I didn't need to go to court. years later I found out I was charged and they gave me time served. they didn't want to admit fault. our justice system is fraudulent.
Wow... Her answer to the last question was non sequitur. There is absolutely no correlation between the testimony in the case, and her hypothetical "same as". This person in no way, should have been allowed to become a judge.
This woman got her law degree from being "book smart." However, her ability to take in and intelligently evaluate information seems to be sorely lacking.
By her standard, if a group hired an attorney to observe their activities (protests) to ensure they didn’t break the law, if they ultimately did, the attorney could be charged as part of the group and any illegal activities. That’s wild!
He said he was taking pictures of buildings at sunset, so we arrested him because he may go home and kill his spouse. What kind of smooth-brain logic is that?
Prosecutors often get sooo righteous that whatever they do is beyond reproach, even when they've made a mistake, their pride and arrogance won't allow them to admit wrongdoing. They would rather prosecute an innocent man, get the WIN and guilty stats on her record than have to back track and do what is right.
This photographer got off because of ABC15's exposure of our criminal injustice system at work. Thank you, Dave Biscobing and ABC15 for shining a light on our public servants' misdeeds. Dave, you'll never have time to investigate anything else because our lousy cops, prosecutors, and judges will keep you busy for a lifetime!
The notorious "Legal Observer" gang. Give me a break. The police themselves fit the definition of a gang more than legal observers. This lady should never hold a position of power or trust again. Disgraceful and cowardly behavior. She deserves prison for her actions.
@@GizmoMaltese yeah they should be fired and investigated for false arrest, official misconduct, etc. and charged criminally where applicable. My ire for this one is she is absolutely supposed to know better, didn't have to make a snap decision in the field, and still chose to make some bullshit up to try and throw the book at innocent people. Moreover, innocent people who are doing a better job of pursuing justice than the prosecutor.
It's disturbing how nobody knows our constitution freedom of association is a protected thing even if he was an observer it couldn't be illegal nor simply being affiliated with a gang the hells angels have constantly won this over and over she should know better everyone investigating her should know better!!!
This woman is insane. She is completely ignoring evidence and basing things over her own wild imagination, and doesnt see anything wrong with that. She admitted to him being a legal observer but said he could still be a gang member. Even though there is ZERO evidence of him committing any crime. Not to mention the officers lied to her about him. Corruption all around.
I’m always impressed when TV news stations are able to produce high-quality impactful investigative stories like this that hold the powerful accountable. My local news stations claim to have investigative teams but all their reports are always just stuff like “Investigating why the library is closing an hour earlier on weekends”
Just imagine if corporate/mainstream media stopped playing politics and did their job like this....There would be so much less corruption. But they painted themselves into a corner by saying Project Veritas(Now OMG Media)doing their hidden camera exposes were illegal and wrong(because they went after their peers more than a few times and exposed them). So now if they started doing the exposes they used to do it would be thrown back in their faces.
We never have... When they stopped being peace officers and started being "police" it was pretty evident they're Mafia extorting the public. City "ordinance" is not law. Laws are passed in the house and senate... A mayor has zero authority to create "policy" that could land you in jail, yet here we are... A bunch of "Americans" acting like you're free, but in fact you've surrendered your freedoms to the whims of tyrants... Slaves every one of you
When she's asked specifically what made her think he was in a gang, she always references "information" without being specific. She even referenced information that she had not received. How could she be making decisions based on information she never got? The really disturbing part of it is that if that guy taking pics hadn't been swept up in it the cops and this crazy woman would have gotten away with it.
She needs to face the same decades as she was so willing to impose on others and using her own logic for prosecution. Just because she says she was allegedly basing her convictions on information she had or didn't have doesn't mean she didn't actually want to prosecute a person she knew to be innocent just because she was or wasn't informed of something earlier in the case. I'll bet she will see the problem real quick on her way to prison.
Wow, talk about some corrupt scum. She needs to be disbarred immediately! Every case that she's prosecuted needs to be examined for prosecutorial misconduct.
Well she and police collaborated to invented the gang so that makes them the gangs leaders. When its funny they are the only members of the blue lines subsidiary within the system

And the fact that she can sit there and say that she feels that she did nothing wrong, just shows how little fear of any responsibility, she will have for violating the law! She should not only be disbarred, she should be put in prison! With the cops who arrested him!
She should be crying about a prison sentence, not being disbarred. that should be a given.
Below, you'll find the law and punishments for any government official who violates the rights of a citizen:
18 U.S. Code § 242 - Deprivation of rights under color of law
1 Year in Prison
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both;
10 Years in Prison
And if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both;
Life in Prison
And if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
100% this.
Immunity sadly
She had no business being a prosecutor. How many other people has she falsely charged because she took dirty cops words as truth and failed to actually do any kind of investigation on what he was doing. But the gall of police said that this man who had a camera, was dressed in a tee shirt and shorts was more dangerous than bloods and crips. Corruption on an unbelievable scale.
Acab is a communist pervert terrorist organization. That's why they can't show their faces in public.
To dirty cops an honest man with a camera is more dangerous than a psychopath with a gun. Example is how there are so many incidents of videos of lying, quota filling traffic cops getting caught damaging cellphone videos or trying to erase the camera data on the cameras a lot of people have in their vehicles now. And they put this kind of effort in to cover up questionable traffic stops. Imagine what they’d do in more important cases 🤨
They do this all over and all the time. This is NOT an isolated incident. They know 99% will enter a plea. The 1% that are found not guilty never demand their refund, damages of counter claim, or never bond the case.
There should be a Writ of Attachment (arrest) made by the magistrate that signed the probable cause affidavit.
Prosecutors do not investigate. They charge based on what is presented. But it does sound like she was complicit in a scheme.
Is this the Woman in Georgia who's trying to frame Trump?
Her analogy to murder is so over the top. Speaks volumes of her mindset.
EXACTLY! When people grasp for straws, over-the-top is how they usually respond.
This...the simple fact that she put forward that perspective should be enough to prevent her from ever holding a position of power within the justice system ever again. Even if she one day gets her license back, it should be ambulance chasing or DUI defense at best.
but also the fact that the pictures he was taking up till that point can prove his movement aka not being a part of the riot
She defended herself by saying something about murdering a spouse? That has no correlation at all to taking photos. She even said that she charged people based on information she didnt have. That is a blantant 4th and 5th amendment violation. She has no business in law.
Murdering a spouse...I just shook my head at the fuckery I was listening to. The Attorneys General of the state should pursue charges against her on behalf of all those people wrongfully accused and sentenced as a result of this disgrace in a dress.
@@Juggler534 Those were not lies, those were "alternate facts".
@@christasimon9716 Good enough for Kellyanne Conway. 🤢🤮
She basically said "Guilty until proven innocent" and she thinks that was gonna help her case. I hope she never works in law again and I *WISH* she was arrested along with the officers that lied on their report.
That she used *that* as an analogy was telling of how sloppy her reasoning can be. Sunset photos would absolutely be relevant if it was your alibi and metadata showed that you were elsewhere during a murder. Could he have been a secret gang member? Yeah, but it sure as hell wasn't likely, and the guy was covered in reasonable doubt.
Even if we accept her false premise that he was a "Legal Observer" it still makes his arrest unconstitutional. Walking down the sidewalk and taking pictures is constitutionally protected conduct.
Correct on both points.
The evidence she relied on was the gut feelings of the police? Is that valid evidence in a court?
That's why they're trying to label protesters as a "gang" so they can get around the Constitution and prosecute them anyway.
@@daversj
Well he was wearing shorts and had a backpack. Ergo, terrorist. Just have to connect the dots and the solution presents itself.
@@daversjunfortunately a lot of courts do take that as valid, though they aren't supposed to. Police misconduct is wrapped up with prosecutorial and judicial misconduct, but we're even further from holding them to account than we are police.

This woman should not just lose her law license…she should go to prison. Anyone abusing the power of their position as a prosecutor should face the kind of consequences that they have imposed upon the citizens they were supposed to serve. She believed in the police reports? Wow, that’s rich.

So basically, being innocent until proven guilty means nothing to her.
If there is any justice left in our "justice system", this prosecutor will be held accountable for her unethical behavior. Ideally, she deserves to be given the same prison sentence she was trying to falsely hoist upon this innocent man. The crux of her argument boils down to nothing but unacceptable excuses.

This woman needs to be jailed just for having such a disturbed mindset. What a crazy woman.
Her analogy of taking photos of the sunset and then murdering one's spouse is laughably flawed. This demonstrates her lack of reasoning ability, and every prosecution she's made should be called into question.
Exactly what I was thinking! Her bs will cost taxpayers $$, not only for reviewing her previous cases, but any lawsuits that may ensue. Her actions and analogy infuriates me!
Yeah that was a twitter/x level comment right there. Completely idiotic.
YEAH....her entire history should be examined and ALL the innocent people she has jailed should be exonerated and released and PAID for her crimes against them
Have no idea if the guy is innocent or not, but what she is saying is logical and proven to happen with rioters.
Your lack of a functioning brain is the issue here.
Rioters know how the system works and will manipulate it. Logically, they know if they just take some videos of what's going on, they can then participate in the riot and falsely claim to be a journalist.
Most people, including criminals, have at least a semi functioning brain. You're just a unique case of zero brain function, that or maybe you're intentionally lying to push a certain goal.
@@zkeletonz001 Are you implying that my reasoning ability is flawed, and by demonstrating this it calls my credibility into question? Hmmm...

This is why prosecutors need clear cut consequences for trying to ruin an innocent man’s life . Her reasoning was nonsensical to say the least. I hope she is facing jail time because she or other prosecutors will feel emboldened to go down this path if there’s no consequences for their actions.
This lady is a danger to society. Taking pictures and murdering your spouse later in the day and comparing it to this man's situation is mind-boggling. Just from the video evidence shown here by the news, is enough to tell anyone with any reasonable amount of common sense that this man was not apart of the protest, a monitor and definitely not a gang member. This lady is looney.
I know I was like what? 🤦🏾♀️
The nerve of this woman 😤
It was a straw man logical fallacy. I was taught not to use those in she’s debate…and she as an educated, experienced, and licensed attorney tries it?
What makes this woman a lady? Is it the dangerousness or the looneyness?
The whole situation was nothing more than police officers and the DA all up in their feelings because people were protesting against police misconduct. They all just wanted to make examples of the protestors in an effort to stamp out anyone questioning their behavior in the future.

That's the case with a lot of people with authority!
Wait, “legal observers”? So if you observe an event you can be categorized as a “legal observer” and arrested? How is this not police retaliation?
Its a constitutional violation
It's a Constitutionally protected activity(taking pictures in public of police activity). And the SCOTUS has ruled on it before more times than once. You just can't get in the cop's way to get the pictures or record. IIRC SCOTUS has even said how far is appropriate in one case in their ruling. I just can't remember atm.
@@jdgoesham5381 I believe it was 8-15 ft but I think that was appealed by the AZ Supreme court as unconstitutional as well. Been a while since I've read that so I may be wrong.
Here you are conflating law enforcement with constitutionality. What makes you even _think_ that police and district attorneys would even recognize that we have a constitution?
Police have a job: To arrest people. Prosecutors have a job: To convince a jury that the person arrested should be put in prison. Nowhere in either of their job descriptions is anything about upholding an alleged constitution.
(edit) Sorry, I hit the wrong "reply" button
Arizona, lots of Trump loving, right wingers. They wanted to put protesters away for twenty years, and probably have. Be careful what you wish for. Hmm, maybe we can get her charged as an insurectionest??lol, oh the irony…
Don't take pictures of a sunset because you'll be charged with murder. lol
Thank you so much for exposing this travesty. I just can’t understand how anyone, especially police, prosecutors and judges who never ask questions, can sit there and watch, and permit an innocent person to be arrested and ruined. However, this is by no means exceptional. I am so disgusted.
This prosecutor is so hell bent on not admitting that she had no direct evidence to even pursue this case that by definition she is corrupt both morally and legally. Being on a sidewalk taking pictures is not against the law in fact it's a constitutionally protected activity. The cops had no reasonable articulable suspicion that he was a gang member so they violated his rights and arrested him anyway and this clown doesn't see anything wrong with that and wants to put him behind bars for many years. This is a travesty. The cops and this so called Prosecutor need to face harsh discipline and when this is all over they should be sued by this guy for millions. Too bad the tax-payers will have to foot the bill however.
Looks like the cops saw the guy and didn't want him on the streets, so they arrest him. They don't care what happens to people, how an arrest can ruin someone's life, make them broke. Cops just don't care.
Tax payers are footing the bill for her right now.She has a $350,000 team of attorneys courtesy of us even though she was fired.
She is a woman in power after all.....
Is it illegal to belong to a gang in the US? I would have thought that freedom Aof association should cover that as long you don't personally commit a crime.
disgusting corrupt behavior,,,,she need to lose her license and then be prosecuted for corruption
Every case she has ever prosecuted needs to be looked back through. I bet she has put many innocent people in prison.
If you ask me, the police that arrested him should all be fired and charged. They’re even more culpable than her.
Agreed.
well lying on official police records/reports is "perjury" so they should be charged accordingly
Fired. There report in conjunction with the wicked witch 🧙🏻 of the west have spent tens of thousands of taxpayers dollars with lies.
She needs to loose her license and be barred from any law related job. Dox the B.
I'd say that woman is a few bricks short of a load. I can only imagine how her less-than stellar "job performance" has ruined many lives - and she still stands behind her very, very bad behavior.
Agree. Either the state or the feds have to look at every case she had her fingers on, then make that information public and prosecute her if any misconduct was found.
Just a friendly reminder- charges may be dropped . They still remain in your record. You have to get your record EXPUNGED. It costs thousands of dollars and is tons of paperwork. All of these individuals need to sue.
AND EVEN THEN
Oh this is certainly a Federal Civil Rights Lawsuit. No QI either.
If you admit that you believe the person was a legal observer, then you admit that you do not believe they were a gang member. It's right there in the name, observing for legal purposes is not gang activity, it's the right of every citizen. That is a point blank admission that she abused her power to silence witnesses to police misconduct. I can't believe she thought it was a good defense to say that the ruling was because she believed him to be a legal observer. That is SO much worse as a motivation.
Keep her law license, are you serious? She should be in prison
This prosecutor shoud be in JAIL. How on earth these cops and prosecuters can lie about others and ruin their lives with jail time just get away with a slap on the wrist.
The all American way
This is why the founders left us a failsafe... Something something new guards to secure our future and the second amendment....
That is an angry woman "punishing" people to make herself feel better about her burned up pathetic life... its all over her face. The chilling part is from her expression, she didnt believe shed get caught... cats and boxed wine turned this woman bitter, and she used the power of her job to take it out on random people.
Not only should she be disbarred and lose her law license. She should be in jail. I hope the people who where falsely accused by the cops and this woman sue the hell out of the state, the town, the cops and this woman.
Having been wrongfully charged by this office, I can say, The office has a LONG history of this type of thing.
In every State. The courts are mostly for revenue and self promotions anyways.
So basically what she's saying is guilty until proven innocent. She made a mistake, said you're guilty and it's up to YOU to prove you're innocent. The mere fact that she thinks she did nothing wrong is proof that she should have her law license removed. Basically she's saying she'd do it again!
Dave produces some of the best investigative journalism in the country..AZ you are lucky to have him..

How on earth does THAT work? “ Well, your honor, I believe he was guilty based on the lack of evidence found against him “.
Then there was her fantastic analogy that someone could take pictures of buildings then go home and murder their spouse, does that make them not guilty of murdering their spouse?
This woman is insane, and for the good of the public, she needs to be permanently removed from ever being in any position of legal authority ever again.
Wait, if she thought he was a legal observer its still improper to charge him as being in a gang. So her defense is that even though he didnt actually do anything criminal he might have come with some people who did something wrong so he's part of a gang? This is why i dont support the death penalty, judges who deny new trials based on new evidence and statistics that tell the public that organized crime is up. She is a bold liar and so is the cop that arrested the nurse. Legal observers by definition do not interfere with the function of police officers.
She is absolutely delusional. Willing to jump from a protest to murder just to justify her illegal acts? Sheesh.

Wow... Her answer to the last question was non sequitur. There is absolutely no correlation between the testimony in the case, and her hypothetical "same as".
This person in no way, should have been allowed to become a judge.
This woman got her law degree from being "book smart." However, her ability to take in and intelligently evaluate information seems to be sorely lacking.
By her standard, if a group hired an attorney to observe their activities (protests) to ensure they didn’t break the law, if they ultimately did, the attorney could be charged as part of the group and any illegal activities. That’s wild!
He said he was taking pictures of buildings at sunset, so we arrested him because he may go home and kill his spouse. What kind of smooth-brain logic is that?
That's not what she said. She's saying that criminals could also take pictures and then go commit a crime (of any kind).
@@MB-xe8bbYes, but him taking photos of buildings is proof that he was out there photographing buildings. Her point was incredibly stupid.
Prosecutors often get sooo righteous that whatever they do is beyond reproach, even when they've made a mistake, their pride and arrogance won't allow them to admit wrongdoing. They would rather prosecute an innocent man, get the WIN and guilty stats on her record than have to back track and do what is right.

@@GizmoMaltese yeah they should be fired and investigated for false arrest, official misconduct, etc. and charged criminally where applicable.

Moreover, innocent people who are doing a better job of pursuing justice than the prosecutor.
It's disturbing how nobody knows our constitution freedom of association is a protected thing even if he was an observer it couldn't be illegal nor simply being affiliated with a gang the hells angels have constantly won this over and over she should know better everyone investigating her should know better!!!
This woman is insane. She is completely ignoring evidence and basing things over her own wild imagination, and doesnt see anything wrong with that. She admitted to him being a legal observer but said he could still be a gang member. Even though there is ZERO evidence of him committing any crime. Not to mention the officers lied to her about him. Corruption all around.

I’m always impressed when TV news stations are able to produce high-quality impactful investigative stories like this that hold the powerful accountable. My local news stations claim to have investigative teams but all their reports are always just stuff like “Investigating why the library is closing an hour earlier on weekends”

But they painted themselves into a corner by saying Project Veritas(Now OMG Media)doing their hidden camera exposes were illegal and wrong(because they went after their peers more than a few times and exposed them). So now if they started doing the exposes they used to do it would be thrown back in their faces.
She needs a few years of prison time if not then every person she victimized should sue for millions and literally bankrupt the city.
Oh and it gets worse. County Supervisors approved up to $350,00 in taxpayer money to defend her in these cases. The system is crooked!
She needs to lose some freedom! That prosecution because I think so type of attitude is what ruined the legal system!
And they wonder why so much of the public doesn’t trust them or their institutions.
We never have... When they stopped being peace officers and started being "police" it was pretty evident they're Mafia extorting the public. City "ordinance" is not law.

A bunch of "Americans" acting like you're free, but in fact you've surrendered your freedoms to the whims of tyrants... Slaves every one of you
When she's asked specifically what made her think he was in a gang, she always references "information" without being specific. She even referenced information that she had not received. How could she be making decisions based on information she never got? The really disturbing part of it is that if that guy taking pics hadn't been swept up in it the cops and this crazy woman would have gotten away with it.
Psychopaths will always defend their actions. Why is she not being charged?!
Straight to jail for her and the cops who lied
She needs to face the same decades as she was so willing to impose on others and using her own logic for prosecution. Just because she says she was allegedly basing her convictions on information she had or didn't have doesn't mean she didn't actually want to prosecute a person she knew to be innocent just because she was or wasn't informed of something earlier in the case. I'll bet she will see the problem real quick on her way to prison.
How long has she hidden in the “ system”? Long prison time and review every case she has prosecuted!
Wow, talk about some corrupt scum. She needs to be disbarred immediately! Every case that she's prosecuted needs to be examined for prosecutorial misconduct.
Those police officers too should have their cases re-examined.

the requirements for "gang activity" are way too vague. under this standard, if there is a fight at a football game, anyone wearing the same colors and hat as the guy fighting could be charged as a gang member

THIS WOMAN IS INSANE! What part of LEGAL observer does she not understand?
In her defense she didn't know if he went home and abused his cat.
@@timb7775 😂
She probably cannot define what a woman is either.
The power of self delusion. To make up false things about people, to take away their freedom using those falsehoods, and still think she is a good person doing good things is a basic lack of logical thinking and lack of ethics shows she should have never had this job.
Unlawful arrest is kidnapping
Disbar her! I am a lawyer. I know the rules. Disbar her!
Yeah... Except communists never follow the rules and haven't for the past 100 years. They play by a different rulebook, which is why we've lost our country. They continue to take advantage of our fascination of playing by the "rules". LMAO. The only way we come out of this isn't by following the rules... It's by invoking a certain amendment
Abolish Qualified and Judicial Immunity. These people do this because they face no personal accountability. So she loses her license. She tried to put an innocent man in prison for years.
Maybe not abolish, but certainly alter it.
@@YSLRD Nah. When they are personally held liable for their actions, they will be more careful. They should have to carry malpractice insurance like doctors. And if they mess up enough times, the insurance companies will not cover them any longer. The tax payers should not be footing the bill for corrupt public servants.
Innocent!
Yet, charge them anyway!
There is no excuse for clear violation, ethical violation of law, and Constitutional Rights...
She needs to go to PRISON!
The former prosecutor sounds mentally unstable considering that idiotic remark about photographing sunsets and murdering a spouse.
Seems like she should be facing a criminal trial not a Bar trial.
If there is proof that she did this and the charges are dropped how could she possibly keep her license? She is a dangerously corrupt liar. She even compared him to someone who murders their spouse.
She makes no sense with comparing pictures on his phone of what he said he was there doing to someone committing a murder. That comparison is ridiculous.
Then he saying she doesn't think she did anything wrong shoukd get her disbarred. She accepts no responsibility and can't admit she screwed up.
The fact there are hideous, corrupt, dishonest, vindictive prosecutors like this (and police) is absolutely terrifying.
