California Attorney General Kamala Harris, who has announced she will run for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by her fellow Democrat Barbara Boxer, was recently shot down by the California 5th District Court of Appeal for downplaying a prosecutor’s fabrication of a confession by a defendant charged with child molesting who was recently charged again for child sex abuse.
The national political media is ignoring Harris’ embarrassment before the court even as she moved on to the national stage last week speaking at a gala dinner by the pro-abortion group Emily’s List held in Washington, D.C.
The Hill reported Harris vowed at the dinner to fight for “the most voiceless and vulnerable” in society.
Apparently that vow doesn’t extend to Harris fighting for the rights of poor minority defendants to not have prosecutors forge confessions to heinous crimes.
Without the effort of former U.S. Justice Department attorney Sidney Powell, followed by an outraged law professor Glenn Harlan Reynolds, and their publishers at the New York Observer and USA Today, this would have remained a local Bakersfield story.
Kern County Deputy District Attorney Robert Murray admitted to falsifying a confession transcript that he provided to a defense attorney during plea negotiations. Murray later claimed he was joking, but only when caught. The crime involved in the fabrication could have sent the defendant away for life.
The trial judge threw out the charges against the defendant as a result of the faked confession being exposed. The state appealed, which got Attorney General Harris’ office involved. Harris told the appeals court that the prosecutor’s actions were not “outrageous” and did not ‘shock the conscience’ and therefore did not warrant the dismissal of the charges.
Harris argued that only physical abuse would warrant the dismissal of the charges. The appeals court sharply rejected

Faking a confession isn’t outrageous? What about to the person you’re sending away for life?
Harris practices discrimination. She thinka any doctor over 55 should not be practicibg, no matter how good.

(I did find the article on the site of The Hill, and I see from multiple comments that I'm not the first one to have noticed.)
Democrats don’t get the Palin media treatment.
Anything Efrain Velasco-Palacios may or may not have done subsequently against the People of California is richly deserved, they having voted for the likes of Kamala Harris and Robert Murray.
Details, please. What you need is a link (or a slew of them).
It's not a good sign when a google like kamala harris doctor over 55 returns this thread as its first result, and the remaining hits don't add up to anything.
Lying to the other side is a disbarment type offense.
Resume enhancer. Nothing to see here.
Kamala Harris is either too corrupt or incompetent (or both) to prosecute JP Morgan with prima fascia evidence found in court records. In the Kalicki case both the trial and appellate courts mentioned the forged document that JP Morgan recorded with the county and then presented to the court as a fraud. That’s 3 state felonies.
Note the Mexifornia judiciary covered it up by setting the status of the case as ‘unpublished’ so other cases could not refer to blatant acts that were “outrageous” and ‘shock the conscience’. After all, Ms Harris is counting on the support of the banksters in her Senate bid.
Competence is not a requirement for a Slave Party Senatrix from California.
