This is What Your Tax Dollars are Going To.

The County of Los Angeles is Broke Yet The District Attorney’s Office Will Spend Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars Trying to Maliciously Prosecute Innocent People on Misdemeanor Offenses!





***Hopefully You Noticed Above that on June 4, 2010 Steve Cooley’s Daughter, Shannon Cooley, came to the Court to Represent the People. Isn’t it Strange that Out of All the Cases Going on in Los Angeles County, Cooley’s Daughter Appears on Behalf of the People on this Particular Case? It was Already Stated on the Record by the People at the May 5, 2010 Hearing that the Defendant Felt the District Attorney’s Office was Full of Corruption, when Referencing the Batteredbypd Blog & Then Magically Steve Cooley’s Daughter Appears a Month Later as if to be Sending a Personal Message. If You Put that Together with the Fact that the Main Deputy Involved in this Case has a High Ranking District Attorney for a Mother who is Close Partners with Steve Cooley, it just puts the Icing on the Cake.***
