So when we got elected, me and my brother in an 18, you know, the judges before us fought bail reform. I don't know why. Maybe it's the fact that, you know, you're used to a system in place, you know, and people fear change. But I don't know. But when we came in, we said, hey, we agree with bail reform. Bail reform is good from a misdemeanor standpoint.

I don't know about felonies, but misdemeanor, because the idea is when you're in jail, it affects this. It affects this. I don't know if you've ever been to jail, and I don't want you to say yes or no, but it is such an awful place. It can play with your mind. It can play with your psyche. It can make you develop anxiety, mental health problems, and you lose your house, your apartment, cars.

Now, what we've done is we've completely like just turned around a system that's been in place for 150 years on its head. Now, when you get arrested for nonviolent offenses, and of course, there's exceptions to the rule, but by and large, a lot of people are given a personal recognizance bond, a PR bond to get out to fight the case.

The idea is, is that it shouldn't be a wealth based criminal justice system how it's been. What you have now are people being able to be on the outside, fighting their case so they don't have to plead guilty to get out. The conviction rate has dropped from a 60%. I mean, to mind this, a 60% conviction rate in 2016 now to around a 25, 23 to 25% conviction rate. That's staggering.
