It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor Caroline Fohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, 'What are you doing?' That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

Thank u Alec! The Humphrey decision that you, the Civil Rights Corps team and San Francisco Public Defender's Office and Mr. Humphrey won is what allowed for his pretrial freedom, so he was able to fight the charges at home instead of in jail for all those years.✊🏾🙏🏾

A #participatorydefense story:
-7 years ago he was detained on 2 million dollar bail for a crime he didn't commit, facing a life sentence.
-We met his family at arraignment, they came to weekly participatory defense meetings.
-They made a social bio packet for bail hearing. (1/4)
