5:03 am
filed against them, and that you turn it around and actually, you know, present criminal charges against the victim who was acting in self-defense is just a travesty. and i think that we need to make sure that we are on record asking this da to exercise the discretion that district attorney's have to leave this poor transgender woman alone. she has suffered enough. thank you. >> thank you, supervisor campos. colleagues, on item number 24, can we take this without objection? same house same call, thank you.
