Caravan for Justice 1 - Justice for Oscar Grant - Barbara Becnel

Barbara Becnel speaks at State Capitol

All roads lead to Sacramento - a Caravan for Justice. This was the first of a series of planned Caravans for Justice focusing on various aspects of the "justice" system. A caravan of cars and buses traveled to the California State Capitol on February 19, 2009 to lobby legislators in Sacramento on the issues of Oscar Grant and police killings (revising the "Police Bill of Rights" that shields their misconduct records from the public), repressive gang laws, reforming Three Strikes, and the San Francisco 8, former Black Panthers and associates being retried by Attorney General Jerry Brown for a 1971 police killing based on evidence extracted by torture in 1973.

Thank you very much for posting this information Freedom. I will be on the next bus to Sacramento to join the cause. There is great disparity in the California legal system. Justice and freedom only enjoyed by those who have lots of money for representation. Public defenders are overwhelmed. How do you give a Man 3 minutes in a hallway, handcuffed and shackled, to talk about his 3 strikes case? or any case for that matter?? Thank you
