Justice Sotomayor filmed an inspiring message of hope for Chesa Boudin, former public defender, now District Attorney of SF.

“You have lived the stigma of anger shame and guilt that so many children in the criminal justice system experience.”
“It is uncommon for a former public defender to become a district attorney of a major city like San Francisco. But more uncommon is a district attorney who spent his childhood visiting parents incarcerated for committing serious felonies.”
“You were for fortunate that friends of your parents had the means to help you get back on track. But your parents friends could not supply you with the strength of the character & moral compulsion that ultimately led you to graduate from Yale college with high honors...”
“...become a Rhodes scholar, clerk for two respected federal judges, be awarded a Liman fellowship, and publish important scholarly social justice pieces.”
“The city of San Francisco will be so very well served by a man whose life creed is believing, as you told me, ‘we are all safer when we uplift victims, hold w regime accountable for their actions, and do so with empathy and compassion.’”
