Instead of Confronting California’s Violent Crime Surge, AG Bonta Launches a Wrongful Conviction Unit

By Jennifer Van Laar

California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who has recently come under fire for his “collusion” with Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon to have the death sentences of four convicted murderers vacated, announced his latest scheme to keep dangerous criminals out of jail and on the streets on Friday.

Of course, he didn’t describe the Post-Conviction Justice Unit in those terms; he described it as a program to “support integrity in the criminal legal system and seek to remedy cases where there have been miscarriages of justice.” From his office’s press release:

“All across California, prosecutors and law enforcement stand united in the pursuit of truth and justice,” said Attorney General Bonta. “We fight each and every day to protect our communities and hold those who break the law accountable. Yet, despite our best efforts, we know our criminal legal system is not infallible. Whether it’s as a result of bias, changes in forensics, or any other issue, our system is not foolproof and we must make every effort to ensure the integrity of prosecutions in our state. As part of our pursuit of justice, I’m proud to launch the first-ever Post-Conviction Justice Unit within the California Department of Justice. While this is only a beginning, it represents a critical step forward for further fostering a culture of integrity and transparency that supports trust in the law.”
