lawyer from the public defender s office, he realized his peril because he had previously lied in the grand jury, he came clean, he is now a witness and not a defendant because he told the truth. we learned about this because of additional proceedings in mar-a-lago, where the government has asked that the court hold the same kind of hearing for trump s co-defendants. for nauta and de oliveira. they have the same issue. here s the problem. their lawyer represents them, but he has also in the past represented the witness taveras. it is a conflict of interest for those co-defendants of trump if they were to come clean, they would find themselves implicating folks, but at the same time their lawyer can t vigorously cross-examine his former client and there is a real problem here for these defendants, where they need to have independent counsel who can advise them, should they continue as they are as defendants, might there be
going into 24, into this election cycle, anyone who purports to care about these communities where people have to commit themselves to reviving police reform. that has to be let s quickly talk about the tree of life mass shooting, the sentencing phase has begun. there was a guilty verdict in that case. fascinating argument by the public defender for the shooter, trying to get out frankly of the death penalty by saying he wasn t killing jews because of religion but rather because, quote, he believed they were bringing in immigrants who were committing genocide against white people and children. none of this makes sense, none of this true, but this is what he believed to be real and true. basically saying he s an out of his mind racist, not anti-jewish to try to stay alive. 11 people were murdered. 11 counts of obstructing the exercise of religious beliefs. yeah, i think it s there s
carmagnani. the public defender also released a second video from november 2021 showing a different seemingly unprovoked attack on an unhoused person, which she alleges, is related. he sprays with a massive can of bear spray, the same weapon used in dowdy incident. i looked offender clay half away claims they have reports of seven other bear spray attacks on homeless people within a four block radius of carmagnani s home in the marina district. but there was never an arrest or citation in those incidents. carmagnani s attorneys say it s not their client in the various pre video, and vehemently that denied their client being involved in any prior incident. now with that reporter said don carmagnani denies he ever played dowdy or anyone else hairspray. so if these allegations from the public defender are true, the story that fox knows presented to his audience is a brutal, and random attack by a homeless person, what actually the story of a guy running around san francisco sprayi
