stuart, i am going to start with you today. u.s. had 30 years of experience at least. are we seeing the most extreme cases of alleged police misconduct, or have you found the incidence to be pervasive? what is your experience in this? >> i started as a lawyer working on the case but geronimo pratt, a black panther case. that ended up after 27 years to be proven. and we have learned that law enforcement' officers had good evidence or statutory evidence, let people commit perjury, said in the room and -- sat in the room to destroy evidence to convict someone who was innocent. and that is how i started my career as a lawyer. when i started that case, i began thinking this was a big conspiracy to frame this man. what i learned is -- and i discussed this with geronimo -- we are experiencing men and women who thought the end justified the means. they thought they had a bad man and it was ok to do anything necessary to convict him. as i look back on my career, present and future, i think we see that that is the concept that runs through police misconduct. i am sure there are

and also stuart hanlon as well as the bar association of san francisco. so let's have a round of applause for our sponsors today . let's get down to it. so before we get started i want to introduce someone who's a wonderful leader in our community and that's the president of the bar association of san francisco. >> thank you. thank you, jeff, for inviting me on behalf of the bar association of san francisco. i'm priya sanger. i'm president of the bar association of san francisco. basf, as we note the bar association to be called, has had a long relationship with the public defenders office. it is crucially important for administration of justice. and so is san francisco conflicts panels where administration, which the bar association has provided in partnership with public defenders. so in san francisco when a public defender has a conflict of interest, criminal defendants and minors are represented by private attorneys from a panel administered by the bar association of san francisco. maintaining this independent body of attorneys is critically important

stuart varney says -- >> probably not. not a reason to stand up and cheer. $10.24 is the new minimum wage in the city of san francisco. it's almost $3 higher than the federal minimum wage. you have to add on an extra charge for health care special to san francisco. an extra 1 1/2% payroll tax special to san francisco. higher social security taxes because of the higher minimum wage and nine guaranteed fully paid sick days for every worker in san francisco. that adds up to a massive increase in labor costs. so it sounds great for the people who are getting this higher minimum wage put the flags out and cheer but you're not going to get anymore jobs and you're not going to have people higher and you're going to have people who are running a business, taking risks with their own money who now have the state dictating what they're going to pay -- >> final equation with all that addition is companies hire fewer -- >> it's a bad deal. the state should not be setting wages. when they do that, like in europe, they go bankrupt. don'
