Prosecutor Misconduct: Failure to Prosecute White Collar Crimes by Divorce Lawyers in Santa Clara County Triggers Recall Against DA Jeffrey Rosen

A taxpayer group frustrated by unprosecuted white collar
and public corruption crimes is considering a recall
campaign against Jeff Rosen, district attorney of
Santa Clara County. Rosen's wife is Judge Amber Rosen.

From Campbell Patch: "The red, star shaped plastic magnets were seen this week around the Santa Clara County Civic Center on newspaper racks, parking meters, traffic signs, and even a Sheriff's Department van parked in front of the county jail.

The small text on each reads "RECALL DA JEFF ROSEN," and includes a website URL, recallrosen.org...."

From recallrosen.org:

A group of Santa Clara County taxpayers are exploring the feasibility of a campaign to recall Jeff Rosen, the district attorney for the county. The group alleges that Rosen has engaged in waste, fraud, abuse of authority, and violation of law, as those terms are defined in the California Government Code.

Among other issues, Rosen has failed or refused to prosecute public corruption and white collar crime, has failed to comply with crime victim laws, and has botched rape and domestic violence cases. Rosen’s office is rife with sexism, he protects his personal friends who work in the office from accountability, and he retaliates against whistleblowers.

Sacramento County family court watchdogs say they are considering a recall against district attorney Anne Marie Schubert for the same reasons. "Schubert has ignored white collar crimes by lawyers and public corruption crimes by judges for a long time," said court reform advocate Ulf Carlsson. "The Sacramento County district attorney effectively has given lawbreaking attorneys and judges immunity from prosecution. We need to seriously consider this recall option."

The Santa Clara County campaign has a website at recallrosen.org.

"RECALL DA JEFF ROSEN" star magnets were distributed around
Santa Clara County government offices by an anonymous taxpayer group
considering a recall of the controversial district attorney. 

Liar Liar: Santa Clara County Judge Erica Yew Condemns Self to Eighth Circle of Hell in Testimony to Legislature

Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Judge Erica Yew believes
the California Commission on Judicial Performance "has done a great job."

Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, Santa Clara County Judge Erica Yew has made the demonstrably false claim that the California Commission on Judicial Performance is effective at its mission to oversee and hold accountable judges in the state. 

To the legislature.

On video.

To be precise, Yew said this:

"[The Commission on Judicial Performance] has done a great job of making sure that judges who shouldn't have that job are removed from office, or are disciplined, or receive some indication that what they're doing is not proper, privately, so that they can readjust."

Seeing is believing: With your own eyes, watch Yew make this statement - incredibly, with a straight face - in the video at the bottom of this post.

In Dante Alighieri's Inferno, part of the Divine Comedy, Malebolge is the eighth circle of Hell. In Dante’s version of hell, categories of sin are punished in different circles, with the depth of the circle (and placement within that circle) symbolic of the amount of punishment to be inflicted.

Sinners placed in the upper circles of hell are given relatively minor punishments, while sinners in the depths of hell endure far greater torments. As the eighth of nine circles, Malebolge is one of the worst places in hell to be. It is where the souls of alchemists, impostors, counterfeiters, and liars are sent.

Santa Clara County Judge Mary Ann Grilli Controversy: Socioeconomic, Pro Per Bias Alleged by Family Court Whistleblowers

Santa Clara County Superior Court whistleblowers allege that many wealthy judges convey explicit socioeconomic and pro per bias against indigent, disabled and financially disadvantaged litigants. 

A Santa Clara County government whistleblower has leaked the Statement of Economic Interests financial disclosure data for controversial family law Judge Mary Ann Grilli. The records reveal that Grilli enjoys a net worth substantially above seven figures. The 30-page document, embedded at the end of this article, shows a well diversified portfolio of stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, as well as an IRA and a revocable trust. 

Indigent, disabled and financially disadvantaged "pro per" litigants who can't afford counsel report that Grilli routinely exhibits socioeconomic and pro per bias, and favoritism towards lawyers. Court dockets and records from cases reviewed by the Family Court Accountability Coalition indicate that Grilli also often disregards "level-playing field" laws that mandate both parties in a divorce be represented by counsel where community property and assets are sufficient.
