SANTA CLARA COUNTY DA

While District Attorney Delores Carr was a judge, I had two matters in her court, both of which required multiple court appearances. Both in my matters, and other matters I heard while waiting, Carr was knowledgeable in the law, and wise in her decisions. I voted for her before, and will vote for her again.

I do not know anything bad about the other candidate, Jeff Rosen. However, Jeff Rosen is supported by former DA Kennedy. In my opinion, it is Kennedy who started the "win at all costs" culture st the DA's office.

As we all know, it can be difficult to change the culture of an organization. It is especially difficult to change the culture in an organization full of trial attorneys. Trial attorneys are intelligent, argumentative, arrogant, cynical, persuasive, competitive, and love to win. Some are perfectly willing to be so tough on crime that they convict the innocent. Luckily, most are also ethical and want to see justice done.
