Taxpayers paid for the dinners of judges, lawyers, cops and reporters from mostly San Jose Metro and San Jose Mercury. For thirty years they met in secret. The meetings were not publicaly noticed and most Sheriffs , Lawyers and reporters did not get an invite.
The judges say it is permitted. The law says it is not. Without cameras in court, we can't see the conflicts, the closeness and the crony relationships that influenced legal proceedings , tainting trials, headlines and local elections.
Judge Towery once was employed at the state bar to protect the public from bad lawyers. He protected the lawyers and then as a judge protected them further, denying due process by failing to make his disclosures about the secret Judge Club that was by his invitation only . Towery protected lawyers such as Thomas Giarardi. He appointed lawyers in cases to represent children, or to act as private judges. He inflicted harm on hundreds of families. His wife, Karyn Sinunu Towery was a prosecutor, who was argulably worse to those trapped in criminal proceedings.
We are investigating who knew and how many cases were impacted.

For decades police officers testify in court where there are no cameras. The public and the jury only have their reports and transcripts. The attitude and credibility of cops can only be seen in the way we see them behave on the street. Are they credible ? Cooperative with the public?
We shouldn't have to record on the street to have transparency in public proceedings where lawyers, judges and police serve the public and are charged with maintaining public trust in our legal system .
In 2023 we will be reporting on the Santa Clara courts and the secert committe the public paid for , but wasn't invited to attend. That committee, BBMP , invited judges, lawyers , cops and reporters to secret meetings where there were no cameras or records kept and discussions were off record.
We are looking at charities including WomenSV in Los Altos and we are following the money and public problem of judges meeting with lawyers, cops, attorneys and reporters who decided what information the public would learn about those secret meetings.
If you would like to support our work, we appreciate anything you can give. Information, cash cards for camera folks and help for reporters not taking fee dinners from the government,and watchdogging it instead.

This video has been unlisted for years. Am turning it on now as since this time, Smith was indicted and retired. Sung was criminally charged by DA Jeff Rosen in the big CCW case. But then in 2022, we found something fishy .
Smith and Sung were both invited to the secret BBMP dinner meetings, but not the same way other Sheriff Deputies incuding John Hirokawa.

After obtaining public records that revealed secret meetings judges attended with lawyers, cops and reporters, the comment was made. Judge Erica Yew who was appointed to the agency that oversees judges claimed the meetings were open and well attended. They were not.
Please follow our reporting on the discovery of the BBMP. It tainted trials, headlines and elections in Santa Clara County. The district attorney, judges and cops all attended with reporters from the San Jose Mercury News. The public paid for dinners of cops, proseuctors and reporters but was not invited to attend.

We are begin reporting on a former Mercury reporter who stook up to the DA as the DA was involved in secret meetings with , judges and reporters, known as the BBMP . They held secret off record meetings that violated due process, tainted trials and tarnished headlines in the San Jose Mercury News ,
Judges did not disclose the conflicts to uninvited lawyers, reporters or cops. Media invited was largely from the San Jose Mercury. This allowed large media outlets to kill stories, or run information to influence juries and voters . These favored newsoutlets provided political endorsements for BBMP members.
These meetings tainted trials, headlines and local elections. We will be covering this issue into 2023. To support this channel and local journalism that provides transparency to hold public officials accountable, please email :

As the case , and a criminal case related to Apple Security and Smith's undersheriff was pending, we found some secret investigations and coverups related to a Bench- Bar- Media Police Committee, BBMP, operationg out of 3 Flames in San Jose. The BBMP invited only certain lawyers, proseuctors , cops and reporters. The meetings were , publicaly funded and held in secret and appear to have influnced jurors and voters in a manner worthy of further investigation.
Public corruption does not stop at the Sheriff.

This video is about judge misconduct. It provides a rare opportunity for the public to see how judges behave when they feel entitled to protection from the Blueline.
Please leave your comments on the video. Judges are paying attention. Just as cameras have changed how we see police, cameras will change how we see the conduct of the judges who take an oath and are paid to be public sevant.

It took 20 years for the judges involved in the Kids- for -Cash scandal to be exposed, and even then, only two judges went to jail. All others involved who knew , or profited, got away with it for many years.
The culture of police, schools and courts is rooted in the public employees and elected officials who keep these systems going. Even when they are broken. Thus , we need transparency more than ever.

Private law firms and private businesses are taking arbitration, mediation and private judge cases in record numbers. This practice is making businesses such as JAMS, ADR Services and Signature Resolution, a great deal of money where there is very little oversight.
Audits and investigation show that 90% of these private judge cases are not being publically noticed. Nearly every criminal , civil and family law case reviewed showed extreme defects in disclosures of social, professional and financial relationships that serve to harm litigants and the legal process.

Santa Clara District Attorney Jeff Rosen has been in office for over a decade. He has politically prosectuted crimes such as the Great Photograph Case, while white collar and public corruption cases are ignored. He has completely ignored complaints and evidence about the private judge scam that is harming families in the area he is elected to protect.
Emails obtained in 2019 suggest Mr. Rosen's office engaged in misconduct during the proseuction of Brock Turner and the related recall of Judge Persky. These emails suggest
Michele Dauber, a Stanford Law Professor took hundreds of illegal photos and was provided public information to assist her and Jennifer Higgins Bradanini in recalling a judge and putting proseuctor Cindy Hendrickson on the family law bench where she hears issues related to domestic violence, divorce , cusotdy and probate issues.

We are investigating attorneys who are duping clients into private judging. This gives them all immunity where they drag cases out and incite conflict purely to make more money. When we uncovered the illegal conduct and reported it to District Attorney Jeff Rosen we were referred to DDA John Chase. Nothing has been done despite the appearance of case rigging and public corruption.
Rob Bonta , California’s Attorney General has ignored the complaints as well.

When celebrities including Britney Spears and Angelia Jolie can't get justice, we look to corruption of the folks working in the courts. Judge Reva Goetz conserved Spears on an emergency order, now she is working for JAMS.
These private judge businesses are harming hundreds of thousands of families. It is not based on politics , gender or race. It is sheer greed and corruption as these retired judges and lawyers violate the law and the most fundamental rights of folks to check dockets and investigate conflicts relevant to judge recusal and disqualififcation.

While seeking to determine what others could record in public , and wasting resources Jessamine deLancey has her own YT channel where she appears to beleive she has an exclusive right to record and post images of others at street dances, concerts and fundraisers.

The video was not planned or scripted. The interview shows a mom who is currently involved in a custody case with Modesto Police Officer Mario Lopez before Judge Cassidy. We are working to obtain Officer Lopez based on California's police transparency laws related to SB1421.
We also invite the lawyers, police officers and judges to comment on custody cases they see involving police officers, which are presently secreted from the public if the police officer is not married to their children's other parent.

First Silva beat a man nearly to death in the @sjsu library . The mayor of San Jose , Sam Liccardo did nothing. The local DA, Jeff Rosen, did nothing. And as usual the DA protected bad cops. Internal Affairs cleared Silva and despite a federal lawsuit that cost taxpayers , Silva got an "in" and was hired in @losgatos-monteserenopolice9904
So after taxpayers paid once, Los Gatos elected officials thought it would be a good idea to hire Silva, and in 2019 he did it again. Police Chief Cena did some heavy copsplaining on that after SB1421 resulted in him having to release bodycams to the public. Here is the Chief who thought it was a good idea to hire Silva:
Sadly , local news @Mercurynews and @NBCNews reported Silva resigned. Turns out in a lawsuit Silva filed in federal court , he was fired because of public pressure. Union lawyers are now representing him in a lawsuit against the town where rotten attorney Robert Schultz may subject the town to more costs by secreting public records during this time.
So we are investigating these cops who go from department to department to conceal their misconduct. We will investigate the costs to taxpayers, and society and we are going to demand the public records we have a right to access and inspect.
