De-Bug youth, Josiah, talks about his first experience going to a Racial Justice Act hearing in Santa Clara County. The Racial Justice Act is a California law that allows folks to challenge their case if racism played a role either explicitly or systemically in charging or sentencing. Josiah reflects on how the police could be found liable for racially profiling someone and the cop in the courtrooms reaction.
