they just made fake ones to intimidate witnesses into coming to the DAs office to talk

then, apparently, they had some of those who didn't show up arrested and held with high bonds because they didn't respond to fake subpoenas




If true, this is a classic civil rights violation, not just a civil suit and either it comes from the DDA or the DA himself....no way little pissant ADA's would even dare try this stuff without Cannizaro's approval.

oh he 100% defended the fake subpoenas when they were first reported on. then, after the news had legal opinions saying it was illegal, he stopped using them

quote:

Cannizzaro's office initially defended the practice. But shortly after it learned that legal experts had told The Lens that such letters were likely illegal, it announced that it would stop. Follow-up investigations revealed that Cannizzaro's office attempted to obtain an arrest warrant against a domestic violence victim who ignored a fake subpoena.
