City of angels

Thanks to Kathy A. for e-mailing me the link to this week's L.A. Times series following an average - and exemplary - p.d., Ramiro Cisneros, "a man with his heart in the clouds of idealism and his thoughts down in the daily rough-and-tumble.":

» Part One: Going to bat for those who have hit bottom.
» Part Two: Should the judicial system lock up a man if he hasn't broken the law?
» Wednesday: A retrial and a sweet victory for the public defender's office.
» Thursday: An extortionist is sentenced and a drug user returns to jail.
» Friday: The case of the one-eyed man comes to a conclusion.

Public Defender Dude and Indefensible like what they've read so far.
