@nlgmass @SusanBChurch11 @SCDAONews @DARollins Court support for the contempt hearing come to BMC central 5th floor courtroom 17
@nlgmass @SusanBChurch11 @SCDAONews @DARollins Attorney @SusanBChurch11 was released. But we want to remind everyone that Judge Richard Sinnott is still on the bench in courtroom 17 right now conducting arraignments, prosecuting overwhelmingly Black, Brown and poor people.
@nlgmass @SusanBChurch11 @SCDAONews @DARollins E.g.: today Sinnott asked invasive Qs of a black man charged w/ driving on a suspended license [b/c fines/fees], then continued the case 90 days (to fix license).
ADA agreed.
No lawyer for man - who is homeless, struggling to find a job, trying to get a Green Card.
Open case.

@nlgmass @SusanBChurch11 @SCDAONews @DARollins When Judge Sinnott announced his proposal, before running it past the ADA [the *opposite* of the role of judges & prosecutors], the man had his hand on his temple.
This man walked out of the courtroom looking defeated.
The ADA didn't nolle pros, despite #TheRollinsMemo.
