On April 22, the Board of Trustees of LACBA unanimously voted to support passage of SB 399. The  vote came after input from prosecutors, defense attorneys, and civil practitioners. One District Attorney provided the perspective of someone who had prosecuted teenagers in adult criminal court. She spoke of her experience and concluded that LWOP for youth is an unjust and inappropriate sentence. Board members had studied materials in preparation for the meeting and participated in a presentation and discussion prior to the vote.
