that to a gross receipts tax but doing it in a way that every industry of our city, is entitiled diswietd to come in and tell us how do they make mundo they make sure in this transition we do it by not hurting any of the industries healthcare, commercial real estate and financial and we solve a lot of problems through that collaboration and so i think by having good pollcies and tight communications with our business community and supporting them when they do create jobs with good idea for them and exciting the employ jesus having reasons for wanting to be in the bay area and best foods and investment in the arts is really helpful because the creative mind want that support from the art commune and we are doing that literally on such a market to attract employees. >> oakland had a good -- on a few year ago on tech companies

pandora and -- in terms of headline making companies that seeps to have gone cold recently is that unfair impression or is there something that needs to be done to recharge tech companies. >> i think it will follow the office space but the companies that we have habe they are to the making as many headlines as the headline makers and particularly in product production and the companies we have have expanded and so longevity is almost taking up the varietiable office space and jack on london square and so he has been here since -- [inaudible] can the pandora is growings and they have a cluster around those -- foundation and is-head up more technology

those of you who remember back to our college level the software, the founder of that foundation officer and would be the [inaudible/incomprehensible] small technology company it doesn't seem that small, certain we are about half the size of san francisco but when we have these clerks of people comeling forth into that industry hundreds and hundreds of people are there and i don't know why they are there but after the -- [inaudible] yeah, we are being blockbusters but we have-newborn [inaudible] have been trying to lure other companies -- and oakland you can attract the berkeley base -- there. so there are a lot of people who want to live and work in the east and that is happening or

and more. >> may be you are lucky you didn't get -- [inaudible/incomprehensible] i know i noticed. >> mayor lee for san francisco you can turn that question entirely on it's head so much of the city's prosperity has been from tech company leastings and hiring and there are signs that, that might be slowing in 2013 and 2014 at least from what it's been in the past and so does the city need a plan b for economic development or should they study issue those. >> i'll not depend upon one industry to solve all of our plummet tech growth is very visible and dominate right now and as i stated earlier, 1800 technology companies employ 42,000 people is huge but having said that there are other industry that is just as important to pay attention to

our healthcare industry by-the-way, scene .7 billion industry today employees 400,000 people and it continues to glow and that is why to get the campus to be built at ucsc. general hospital, st. lukes mission bay, they are building and they will be finished in probably a year and-a-half and a couple of years and these are incredible anchors to the healthcare industry along with the what regents and others are doing in the pharmaceutical research and design areas and we are going in the healthcare pharmaceutical health design area very rapidly and the tourism these incredible international events that we host whether it's blue grass or america's cup or world series we are going to continue to try to

get those huge hereto and the super bowl that is a bay area play poshly with the capping olympic and is the world soccer can possible be here as well and i'm trying to organize the first international pink pong tournament to come here and so hospital amount x healthcare industry and construction of course, is very strong and construction is very correct me if i'm wrong strong and clear tech and clean tech companies are growing again investors from other countries including china are suggesting that they would like to have their north america head quarters here in san francisco and we have five of the larger solar companies here and they are looking at mission bay and thes point to locate some bio-- some clean tech and biotech chem companies and inc., baiters that would start the

same thing that we did in mission bay and by-the-way, we also have ideas to create mission bay too if you have not heard about it already to income and work on the foundation of the success of mission bay that is now filling out there rapidly as something that i do not want to put you on the spot about here, san francisco did for the america's cup, the clear message was city taxpayers are not going to get the guardianship and private is going to take care of all of the city's costs which are 30 million and change. it's [inaudible] isn't going to do the job fundraisers do their thing and -- [inaudible] [inaudible] and so if san francisco taxpayers do he wanted up getting suck with the bill for 15 million-dollar or more the intft so huge that -- [inaudible] . >> i still look at america's

cup and i personally attended of the world series events this past summer they were incredential and the first introduction to the blend of new technology and the visualization of being able to see this race pack and other jurisdictions where they have actually had to take a vote out to see it on the shores of san francisco bay this is an incredible big change and so the mean please of it has been a little bit of a change chalg but now, that we have this behind us and we know what it is to really establish a good invitation tall of the visitors that want to come in and participate in this, we know how to do it better and it's not as big as it originally was. and because it was not, some of the things that were expenses of the city that created the 30 million-dollar are going to shining and they are trying to get the right numbers in while i try to raise the money and the

capital raise moneyreach that gap and spesfy that it's still about a 20 million goal but we think that it's going to shining in the next few months and we are going to donate private moneys to conduct that and it's important for us to do that and that is why -- one s f was created to use upall that to create our nil droppic effort under a similar umbrella because as we succeed in this event and hosting others we are going to take care of expenses of a superbowl and other event that we can host in the future and we are organizing ourselves a little better to take on the obligations. >> mayor khan i have to put you on the spot a little bit too about crime and whether it's fair or unfair the reality or perception, crime if you talk to oakland residents and businesses and they think that a lot of issues #1 is big these days so

what can you say to give oakland residents and businesses that the police force is going to get a handle on the situation in the near future. >> pat callahan the president of the city counsel is with us and it's probably been the most aimable and -- and civilized counsel meetings that i have seen in the bay area recently and i give a lot of criminality for that. and really, in oakland, have the highest concentration of poverty and we have been working really really hard on that and on jobs and partnering with large schools and city public schools are now

the best improvement early school districts and over 50% of our schools now long way around -- [inaudible] fifty% of our schools now are above the state average and that was not true -- [inaudible/incomprehensible] the schools are always among the top ten in the state and but what you see is over 50% of the schools throughout the city are now above the state average and making some solid improvement and so that is good for the long term and if i can make sure that all parts of town kids graduate and have this opportunity, that is the good news for the long term and i spend a lot of time on it and why i'm trying to get 2,000 or 2,000 jobs for the 2,000 kids that apply for jobs throughout the summer but the city as i said, earlier we are taking a lot of our economic growth and we are having a

maximum of -- [inaudible] that we can have so that the number it's may be up and quite frankly we need more police but it's not just the numbers and so, you have read about the transfers of the scene that experts have been bringing in that includes brat and the others because of the techniques in the past used and alongly and this has been approved and he is still the best expert in the country and communities think this is critical to inner cities but in oakland where there have been a history problems with the police department and having the community -- and trust -- [inaudible/incomprehensible] out of the cars and walking into communities and now, really, assigned by geographic areas where every neighborhood should -- know where the -- office are

and have cell phone numbers and that is my goal by the end of the year and i can't bring down crime unless -- [inaudible/incomprehensible] and if you remember at the beginning of the year since he started the -- program and it's a program that was both police enforcement and community improving deputymary something that we have been working on and community church toss work with -- [inaudible] people reckless crime and what we see is -- [inaudible] mulletting ahead since the beginning of the year. but when i was a -- [inaudible/incomprehensible] so i want to think about minerals and stereo types and when i was a student my first year 20 year ago, the murder rate went up by

one 80 and about 100 of them are now -- and they still different -- in the city and the last year, was the rate was higher than it was last year and so some of this is merge and some of it -- even one life is too much and so what we are tryingdo is make these top institutional changes that will turn arrest the issues of violence in the long term and so that is on the one hand having better and more application and second is [inaudible] who are most likely to do all of the crime i'll give you a sample. [inaudible] did a study of kids in consumers and disci% of those people were getting in trouble with the police and so it's not like something that you cannot handle and also trying to get 2,000 mentors to do --

[inaudible] those are the kids that want to get job jobs this summer because we can change their live at that point so using our social services in a smarter way and even if you have just -- at the table if i think if i can get the violence flattened from the mayor and job platenned and i think if i can get 3,000 jobs this summer -- [inaudible/incomprehensible] because it is there are just too many dents in the stright streets of america and change the long term situation may hem mean time the police chief is doing an excellent job with the resource we have and we work constantly on the federal monitor and we are getting close to debating and finishing the -- [inaudible/incomprehensible] after ten years and i'm just

very very much focused on organize the community and partnership with the police on a [inaudible/incomprehensible] level and that is long term change. >> okay i wish we had a lot more time and there is a lot of subject that is we didn't have a change chance too touch on today but i want to thank you both and it has been very informative for our audience and i wish you the best of luck in the upcoming year. >> okay i have a valentine's day gift for you -- okay. welcome, everyone to the 10th annual public defenders summit. i'm so excited to be here today. our office has been putting on this summit for the

past 10 years. we draw together attorneys, community leaders, non-profit leaders and directors and people committed to improving the criminal justice system. we come together once a year to talk about the issues and problems that we want to solve. this year is a particularly special summit because yesterday marked the 50th an niversary of the supreme court decision. one of the most significant dimensions our country. on march 16, 1963, the court said you have a right to a lawyer. even though it had been part of the constitution as the #6th amendment for years and years it was not recognized it was a right until they said

it was an obligation by the state to provide a lawyer. it never would have happened unless gideon, a drifter who had been involved convicted for robbing a pool hall. at that time unless you were charged with a capital offense, you would not be given a lawyer. you had to represent yourself. the gideon decision changed that for felony cases and that brought other cases. but this is still a basic right that we are fighting for each and every day there was a new york times article yesterday, it's called

the right to council. badly battered add at 50. in miami they handle more than 550,000 cases a year. all of city and county systems that pretty much rely on local funding to provide public defenders. in kentucky, 68 percent of poor people accused of misdemeanor short up for a court appearance without a lawyer. in 28 counties in florida 77 percent people pled guilty. many after

arrest can spend months in jail. this is becoming more and more evident as prosecutors raise the stakes. we have seen more crimes increase in terms of severity. as a result of this more cases are settling through plea bargains but not necessarily because they are guilty but they have no choice. they are often handled by poorly paid inexperienced lawyers. very rarely are new trials granted. even here in san francisco we have struggled to fill three investigators positions for the last six months and we have hundreds of cases that need the attention of an investigator. so today we are going to study the aftermath of gideon and discuss what has to happen in order to fix it. i want to thank

everyone who has made today so possible, all of you for being here. i want to thank or sponsors, kicker and van ness and jim and douglas and maratel and investigations. i would like to thank all the volunteers who made this possible. kathy, angela and everyone else who helped out today. i want to express my gratitude to the san francisco library for the last ten years and there is san francisco government tv and this is going to be broadcast throughout the year. so thank you. i would like to thank julie tron from

the bar association. the bar association has been our partners in terms of providing defense for poor people. in cases where the public defender is not able to provide representation, those cases are handled by the private bar and they are doing an incredible job. so thank you very much for that. i want to thank jose as a who is a public defender and here to celebrate with us. we are going to start today by showing a brief video explaining the gideon decisions >> take this empty lot. today you would never know it but history

was made here. mostly all is gone and so are the people. the principle they left is still standing. it was almost as bad at life. >> it was a constitutional hero, but the cases that come to the court don't come from the winners in society. they come from the losers. clarence gideon was involved in the justice system since he was a kid. he had been getting in trouble. >> trouble seemed to find gideon. literally small change had gone miss ing from this cigarette machine, maybe $5 total. that's the pool hall there on the bottom. some wine,

some beer and a few bottles of coca-cola were gone. the witnesses saw gideon that night with pockets full of change. gideon found himself facing serious time in prison. >> i have no council >> why do you not have council? >> i would like someone to represent me. >> i would have to deny you request to a point you council in this case. >> gideon,000 this was unfair. >> by asking the court to appoint a lawyer, gideon thought he had the right to counsel. >> this right is a basic right to in in in the constitution because the threat that is

presented by imprisonment and even execution is a threat that the government should allow to have. >> gideon had to represent himself because the state of florida denied a lawyer. the entire trial lasted a day before he was found guilty and sentenced to the maximum to 5 years. >> the last days end here walking into prison and doing his time. but this time he went to prison convinced he didn't belong there and the state of florida didn't give him a fair trial. he did what most people would do with insanitiary and fairy tales. he wrote to the supreme court of the united states. >> the supreme court they have

cases brought to the court by people who are too poor who are able to pay for their fees. gideon's was a hand written document online prison stationery. you couldn't imagine a simpler more elementary way to get to the highest court in the land. >> why would the supreme court decide to hear the case of a poor man already in prison. because the constitution allows even a poor man to be heard. lightning strikes from the ground up. it may have been sparked by gideon but they were on the court's justice ready to catch it. >> he was the most influential person in the courtroom system of all time. people should not be disadvantaged in getting justice because they are poor. the judge was viable for the constitution. it had the best

constitution in the world and if we were tolerant it would be all right. on the morning of march 18th, the decision was announced from the supreme court. they said justice black said i have an announcement the decision and opinion of the court gideon against -- vindication for 20 years of dissent from -- against brady. they said we were wrong when we designed it and now we are making it right. >> it was complete. not only did this belief in the 14th amendment, the court decide d in gideon's favor. this system which he fought for so long in

the justice. the decision was law of the land. equal justice under law. >> when a supreme court decided the gideon case, they really brought light to that phrase. it doesn't matter if you are rich, it doesn't matter if you are poor, you get the same equal chance. >> just look at what happened to gideon. the supreme court didn't set gideon free but it gave him a fair trial with a competent attorney. >> not guilty. >> clarence earl gideon was a free man. the man who won a landmark supreme court case went to live a normal living with a job pumping gas. >> when i read where it says equal justice under law, i'm very inspired by that. i'm

very comforted by that. but i know a lot of people are treated unfairly. i see it as something encouraging but i don't see it yet. >> it's written into constitution and established into the goal for society to reach for and live up to. people will fall short, rights can be ignored or even trampled. with nothing more than a pencil and knowledge. >> if you know your rights you can protect your rights. if you don't know your rights you can't. they will always be there. you can fight for them.

that was gideon's story. he knew he had a right that was taken way from him and he fought to get it back. >> if you are wondering how it is they had a televised proceeding of the gideon trial they reenacted it on television and they had gideon and the judges play themselves. now i would like to you meet chris kearney, he's of the bar association of san francisco and a litigation partner which represents lawyers and accountants. he also represented a friend of mine. i will always be
