🚨 THE LEGAL BATTLE FOR JUSTICE HAS BEEN FORMALLY JOINED. ⚖️

Chazz Jackson’s defense attorney, Katherine Hallinan of Pier 5 Law Office, has filed the critical pre-hearing memorandum with the court. This powerful document lays out the undeniable case that Chazz’s conviction was built on explicit, state-sponsored rac*sm.

Here’s what this legal filing means:

🔹 It shifts the burden. Citing California’s strengthened Racial Justice Act, the memo establishes that the prosecution now bears the near-impossible burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the rampant racial bias "did not contribute" to the guilty verdict.

🔹 It condemns the system. The brief quotes the legislature’s own words, stating that the racial bias in Chazz’s trial was “like a metastatic cancer” that infected the entire proceeding—from the judge’s opening remarks to the prosecutor’s so-called “evidence.”

🔹 It sets the stage for January 23. This hearing is no longer just about one case. It is a direct challenge to a pattern of racist practices in Orange County courtrooms. The memo proves the bias was blatant, recorded, and used as a weapon.

Our demand is clear and simple: Vacate the wrongful conviction.
