Mr. Taylor,
I have just received your emails from over the last week. As my email away message advised, I was out of the office until today. The nature of my absence is and was a private matter and I will not be providing you with any additional information with regards to the particular reasons. I advised you previously that the use of profane language, threats and insults will not be tolerated under any terms. Please be aware that Mr. Lilienfeld is no longer my head deputy and was recently transferred. I have cc’d my new supervisor, Mr. Kristoffer McFarren, to this email.
I understand you are frustrated. I have had a chance to review your emails. First, I would advise against you filing a police report against the witnesses on your case. I understand that their tik-tok videos have caused you great distress, but I don’t believe filing a report is the prudent thing to do at this point. This is my advice to you regarding this matter.
I don’t understand what you mean when you say that I have “steamrolled [you] out of every opportunity to present a defense”. I have explained to you, on many occasions, that you have the right to go to trial. We have discussed it via email, in person and via telephone. It’s simply not true that I am keeping you from putting on a defense.
I have also advised that any arguments at trial could include any racial inequities that are involved in this case.
You have made the decision, per multiple prior emails, to pursue mental health diversion in this case because you advised me that you believed it was in your best interest. Is this no longer the case? Are you interested in pursuing trial at this point? Please understand that I am here to help you, but I’m not always available the exact moment you require my attention.

No one is making threats. We all have a right to be upset.
I shouldn't be going to trial under these circumstances. Overlooking the obviously malicious crimes against my person and property just to see whether I "might have" committed a crime makes no sense to me unless it's racially motivated, an issue that needs to be addressed here and now, while in pretrial stages.
Addressing these concerns while pursuing mental health diversion ought not to be mutually exclusive. I don't feel like you guys are even asking enough questions to judge whether or not they are even tha right questions. How could you have your mind made up so much to not ask any further questions? It's because your office is working together to help tha prosecutor not be embarrassed by their improper charging.
Why would you discourage me from doing everything that advocates for my case? Why are you steamrolling me on what the penal code already says? Why would you wilfully spend taxpayer dollars for doctors examining me when I was the one attacked by two adult men from another race in a city that is 35%-43% Armenian? I can't be wrong on all these statutes but your office is working to make sure I'm exhausted of any opportunity at a strong defense because you're really in this to help tha prosecutor.
Why else would you be so comfortable reminding me I can go to trial as if you can't see tha circumstances are improper?
Why can't you stand up defend and protect tha constitutional rights I already have? It's not that I'm wrong. It's just that your office has a conflict of interest. And that is absolutely ineffective counsel.

How are you going to advise me not to file a police report when my name in included in those threats against my life!?
Because you are helping the district attorney protect criminals just like Ron DeSantis said.
What is the agenda here and why are you playing along? Can we set up a meeting before court please?

Mr. Taylor,
There are many reasons why I would advise you not to file a police report. However, the two main reasons why I would caution against it are as follows: (1) following the witness on any form of social media may be seen as a violation of the protective order by the court, and (2) some of these statements made against you may be helpful in the resolution of your case with the DA and also on cross-examination, should we get to that point. I am trying to balance protecting defense of your case and your rights as best I can.
As I’ve said many times before, I don’t work with the prosecutors. I’m not conspiring against you. I have never worked with the DA against my clients and I’m not doing that now. You said that you wanted to pursue mental health diversion, so I have done my best to facilitate that. Participating in mental health diversion necessarily means that you have a discussion with a doctor that is court appointed, hence, the funding by the court. I am doing exactly what you asked of me.
I am comfortable reminding you that you have the right to trial because you do and as your lawyer, I have the obligation to advise and explain your rights as this process plays out. Participating in diversion is a choice and one that you should not take lightly. If you don’t want to participate in diversion, we can pursue trial. If you don’t want trial, then we pursue diversion. As I’ve said many times before, those are the options.
Lastly, you are entitled to your feelings. However, your feelings do not entitle you to treat me as you have. I’m available to meet with you on the following dates:
12/11/23 at 2pm
12/12/23 at 2pm
12/13/23 at 2 pm
12/14/23 at 9 AM, 10 AM or 2 PM.
Hopefully one of these dates works with your schedule.

It's not my fault he used his government name that's involved in a pending case. I'm going to make the report because regardless of how you lawyers want to interpret stuff I have to protect myself. The prosecutor is absolutely defending a criminal and it's unlawful.
If a prosecutor is charging a defendant for speculation while overlooking or not charging the attackers for their crimes against the defendant's person and property, it might indicate an inconsistency or bias in the legal proceedings. This situation could raise questions about the fairness and objectivity of the legal process, as it seems to prioritize one aspect while neglecting another, potentially leading to an unfair outcome for the defendant. Why is this so hard to understand?

The courts are exercising authorities they do not have. Please clarify this for me. How do I, an American citizen, not have protections in place? It's because they're running w a false narrative to prejudice my defense! Don't act like you don't know.

This will not be a fair trial if I go to trial alone. If I am the only one to answer at trial, it is already an unfair trial. There are already too many protections in place that your office isn't exploring and that is not a zealous defense.
No need in justifying your hard work on my behalf. We both know that nature of your job may require you have more clients than you can handle on a given day
I know there is a way you guys are use to dealing with these cases. But, to insist that the court gets to "resolve" the case as if it isn't already unfair is pure hostility. For me to go to trial alone is unlawful for the simple fact that
If I am facing charges because of crime, if this is about the committing of a crime, why are my attackers not charged? Why does it matter whether or not I committed a crime or not if you're not going to charge us all for public offenses?
These charges go directly against ethical standards of prosecutors and are absolutely inconsistent with the principles of justice.
I disagree that I only have two options. Those are tha only two options "you want" to offer me but those are not real options. Telling me if I don't like something for being unfair then I can choose to go to trial unfairly. What type of option is that!?
Let me remind you. I am a citizen of the United States of America. You mean to tell me that between the Federal constitution, the state constitution, and the California penal code that I don't have any potential challenge to tha charges against me? None? Why do you insist ensuring due process while implicitly violating equal protection?
Going to trial means I am answering for a crime. But, to allow my attackers to not answer for their intentional crimes against me means I am being charged by improper factors. Whether I committed a crime or not doesn't change tha fact that these two men reacted wit violence to a traffic accident! That's absolutely unlawful! You need to get your shit together and quit fooling around! Prosecutors can't charge people just because they want to.
I'm upset because I have too many protections in place and your lame defenses are not helping me. Meanwhile, these circumstances are driving my business in the ground and it's keeping me in dangerous places to live. So excuse me if I get tired of your fucking around while you yourself is at ease of any prejudice treatment. It's like a privilege to be treated with decency in this God forsaken state. You and yo lame governor sucks bro. Ain't no way this bullshit case was supposed to drag out this fucking long.

If there is a protective order for the alleged victim or complaining witness, I'd like a copy of it please.
Since the guy is threatening me directly by using my first and last name I'd argue he's the one defying such protective order. In one breath you're saying he has a right to attack me and get away with it while in another breath are also saying he enjoys immunity for making direct criminal threats.
How much malice do we have to prove while still in pretrial for you guys to step up to tha plate and fulfill your obligations to your client?

Mr. Taylor,
I respectfully disagree with the characterizations in your email. I asked you to give me time to speak so that I may adequately answer your questions, you did not. On numerous occasions, you talked over me and raised your voice to do so. You justified your treatment of me, using profanity and insulting me, stating, “this is why you’re talked to the way you are” based on your dissatisfaction with the way your case is charged. As I’ve stated numerous times before, I will not tolerate being disrespected. Setting a boundary is not a tantrum. I’m not quite sure what you mean when you say, “we running a tight ship. No exceptions”. Please provide some clarity.
Finally, I noticed that you elected not to copy my head deputy, Mr. Kris McFarren, to your email to me. Please be sure to do so in the future.

Danielle Daroca Bell

Good morning Danielle and Casey.
Below is a complaint I've drafted to report to the State of California Commission on Judicial Performance. Please understand that I am just trying to cover my bases and fight for my life. Please don't get offended that I'm putting in time on my defense when others might not.
Please review and advise on how such a letter might impact my case. Thank you.
"Court acted in concert with prosecution and public defenders office in selling defendant's vehicle without proper notice while it is evidence in the case against him. The judge revoking the defendant's driving privileges as a condition of bail prevented the defendant from accessing his mailbox to receive any such notice as driving was his primary method for income and his vehicle was registered to a business he owns in another state. Public defender did inform the court of the defendant's need to operate a vehicle for work, however, they neglected to mention that the driving revocation bail condition would prevent defendant from accessing his own mailbox to receive such notice in event his property would be released for sale/auction while case is still pending. Furthermore, the defendant's lawyers persistent refusal to preserve their client's constitutional rights on the record against his wishes and better judgment in respects to any potential discrimination or unfair treatment in the application of law against him has prejudiced the defendant and is leading to a potential unjust outcome and an obvious presumption of guilt. Late in pretrial, the court failing to address the crimes committed against the defendant is an endorsing violation of the defendant's constitutional rights to due process and equal protection under the law. The court is attempting to hold the victim criminally liable in order to justify his attacker's civil injury claim by omitting obvious inferences and establishing a false premise of the case. The obvious criminal and malicious attacks against the defendant have not yet been addressed or lawfully justified at any point during this case. This complaint is being made in an effort to preserve the defendant's rights and raising concerns of potential discrimination in the charges against him because his public defenders have failed to raise such concerns since arraignment and preliminary. Department F in Pasadena Superior Court is presuming criminals, who were caught on video violating public safety and maliciously attacking another citizen, innocent while the speculative charges against the defendant is resulting in a high disparate impact. Prosecutor has failed to meet the burden of proof and has also neglected to clarify how charges against the defendant are consistent with the common government interest of protecting public order and safety. These charges are basically saying that the defendant's attackers had a legal right to physically harm another citizen, that it is ok to respond with violence to minor traffic infractions, or that because it happened in Glendale, CA and defendant's attackers were Armenian, the defendant should be held accountable and treated with implicit bias. Prosecutorial discretion should not be used to exercise a selective prosecution. Either you charge all 3 parties involved, or charges against defendant MUST be dropped. Otherwise, you are violating the defendant's right to due process and equal protection under the law. You cannot hold victims exclusively & criminally liable for their attacker's reckless negligence especially when the victim wasn't already involved in any criminal activity prior to time of incident. Prosecution and Glendale Police Department are conspiring against defendant to protect criminals who's activities are not constitutionally protected, while misusing resources and diverting attention from their actions to prejudice the defendant of a fair defense. If it wasn't already enough that the defendant can't afford private counsel, why must pleas for his constitutional rights under the law be inhibited by officers of the court? Instead, defendant's lawyers have spent extended amounts of time and county resources on doctors to examine their own client instead of challenging the prosecutor on their discriminatory charges against him. This represents a clear conflict of interest, denying the defendant a zealous defense due to the influence of public counsel having other cases against same prosecutors in the same court rooms with the same judges. This conflict of interest has resulted in ineffective assistance leading to a severe straining of defendant's access to adequate housing, gainful employment, and personal and professional relationships while out on bail. Further, public defenders office has made constant attempts to sabotage defendant's defense by arguing facts before the trier of law, omitting crucial details in his motions to dismiss, and constantly failing to address or challenge any potential discrimination in the charges against their client on the record."

Hi Mr. Taylor,
I hope you are doing well in Florida. I am sorry it took me until today to respond to your email. I have had time to review it and discuss it with Casey Lilienfeld. In our professional opinion, this is not a fruitful complaint to file at this time. I do not think it would be helpful in the ultimate resolution of your case. I know that Judge Clover’s decision regarding your bail conditions is a great source of frustration and anger for you, which Casey and I both share, however, I do believe that she will grant your mental health diversion motion. Candidly, I’m not sure that there are many other judges that would be willing to do so. My only goal as your attorney is to continue to represent you to the best of my ability and I think it’s my duty to advise you not to send in this complaint.
I am open to discussing with you other ways to bring to light your frustrations about this case, while also keeping in mind that, in my opinion, diversion is still the best path forward.
As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Thank you,

Ok, thank you for your response. Do you think the letter won't have any influence at all in this case? Is it still not worthwhile to have it recorded? If I file such complaint, do you think, in your professional opinion, that it might influence tha judge's decision concerning diversion?
If my attackers committed crime before injuries were sustained, how exactly are they legally justified? The charges basically say that criminals had a right to attack me and enjoy immunity.
As much as I personally feel I could benefit from diversion, it's not a righteous resolution to this case. I shouldn't be charged just because they want to. Charges should reflect evidence as it pertains to the law.
Why should the law benefit from my misery? I had no bad intentions nor did I break any law outside of a traffic infraction. Who is tha law to step in my affairs to tell me that I'm wrong for being attacked and scared for my life and should be charged for it while those who CLEARLY attacked me gets to capitalize on my disposition?
These charges are un-American and quite frankly the prosecutor is exercising powers they don't even have unless they're willing to admit their discretion supercedes legislation.
I honestly feel like my best option is to represent myself so I can say what you guys have refused to say all this time. That the application of law is discriminatory! Why is that so difficult to address? Just because it gets addressed doesn't mean I have to like tha answer. But, to ignore it outright only furthers my suspicions of this legal process.
Sheriffs downstairs agreed that my rights should be respected so why does tha court see it differently? What exactly is keeping me from accessing tha constitutional rights already afforded to me? If prosecutors can file charges on whoever they want, then this is not a free country.

Just FYI
I'm going to send the footage of this incident to all local news tip lines this morning.
I believe the charges against me are outright discriminative and I can't fathom sitting around for another 3 full months while I can't even make money to support myself.
Victims shouldn't be charged with crimes. And I believe the prosecutor is exercising powers they don't have while hiding behind their so-called discretion.
The prosecutors office is fucking my life up by accusing me of shit they're not even sure of. They're charging me simply because they want to and not because it's justified.
If I was attacked, why should tha government get to profit off my misery and disposition? Why?
Why should I be held accountable for the poor decisions of another person?

Mr. Taylor,
I realize you are angry and I share that sentiment, however, you may not disseminate discovery to local news organizations or any outside organizations for that matter. You cannot share it. Doing so could subject you to additional liability.
Dr. D’Ingillo will be calling you by the end of the week. Please keep me updated about your conversations.

Who cares that it was discovery? Please inform me on the rules and procedures of taking such action.
The video shows me being attacked. My face has already been put in the news so explain the potential additional liabilities to me please. What are you guys trying to hide? The fact that these 2 Armenians in Glendale attacked me and you can't afford for tha public to see it? If the public can see my mug shot in mainstream news why can't they also see I was attacked by 2 criminals? You guys are trying hard to play me and prejudice me.
Every time you respond to me you are pretty vague in your meanings. Explain tha additional liability please. What are the additional liabilities? If I'm already presumed guilty, my business and family relationships in ruins, what more damage could hurt me?
You still have not responded or clarified my question about my the letter to judicial performance not having any influence at all in my case.
Do not waste my time with vagueness. I need you to be crystal clear when you explain things to me. You must anticipate that I am reading between the lines. I hear what people say but I pay attention to what they do. Don't play with me. I need the full ramifications please.
The video doesn't contain any private information. It's tha same video that anyone can make a request for whether approved or not.

Perhaps if you can explain to me how I'm not being prejudiced in this case I can stop making things difficult for you. I'm not tha one with the law background. I need you to help me understand this process so that I don't get in my own way.

Mr. Taylor,
I have only ever had your best interest at heart. I know you don’t agree, but I promise you, that is the truth. I want to be as clear as I can in my legal advice to you going forward:
You have the absolute right to go to trial on this case. I would never stand in the way of that. If it is trial that you choose, then I will prepare to zealously represent you. We have talked about the strengths and weaknesses of your case and I am available to speak to you again about that . I can never guarantee an outcome at trial, no matter how strong I view the defense’s case.
You also have the option of mental health diversion. If you choose this path, you will receive the mental health treatment you have said you need. You will also earn an complete DISMISSAL of your case and sealing of your record. This would be a great outcome, but only if you want to do it. It comes without the risks of trial.
I do NOT believe that disseminating evidence to news outlets would be helpful or serve you in your case. I know you want to express the grave inequality you have experienced as a result of this case and I understand that, but I do not think this is the best way to accomplish this. I do not believe that releasing such information would be helpful in accomplishing any of the goals you have for yourself and you may, in the process, sabotage your own ability to (1) obtain a grant of mental health diversion (if that’s what you wish) or (2) taint a jury pool against you, this is what I was referring to when I said open yourself up to additional liabilities.
I am not trying to do anything in this case, except for protect you to the best of my abilities. As always, please feel free to respond with any questions or comments you have.

Ok, Ms. Bell.
Thank you for helping me understand. Let's continue with pursuing MH diversion. I'm going to do everything in my power to keep composed between now and the next court date.
I apologize for any frustration I've caused. Thank you for your continued patience with me.

There is no reason to apologize Mr. Taylor. There is no way for me to possibly know the weight you are carrying with this case. I want you to know, however, that I am here, to walk this path with you however I can and defend you to the best of me ability. That is and will remain my only priority and goal.
Please keep me updated as to when you speak to Dr. D’Ingillo.
Thanks,
Danielle

Hi Mr. Taylor,
I do not think that your behavior has compromised the Judge’s decision at this point. However, she could change her mind if there is reason to believe that you will not comply with diversion. I encourage you to consider that in the future.
The only thing you can do, going forward, is to cooperate with the doctor and put yourself in the best possible position for a grant of diversion. I think that Judge Clover believes mental health diversion to be a very equitable outcome in this case, so I believe that she will grant it. I have not heard otherwise.
I also want to reiterate that neither myself, nor Casey, would ever share anything with the judge or DA that is privileged. Any communication between you and me or Casey is strictly between us. She would never be advised of any communication between us. For that reason, I would strongly encourage you, if there is something that is bothering you or upsetting you, to please reach out to us first, before you reach out to the Judge’s staff. Any communication with the Judge’s staff will be shared with the Judge.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Is Judge Clover aware of my outburst after last court date? A part of me just feels like she might deny the diversion motion tha same way she's denied all my motions up to this point.
The doctor just contacted me. He asked me some general questions and said he was going to touch base with you before setting up a telephone appointment.
Please advise as necessary.

Can you clarify this for me please?
"Is it a violation of due process if a defendant goes to trial under a presumption of guilt?
Yes, it is generally a violation of due process if a defendant goes to trial under a presumption of guilt. The principle of "innocent until proven guilty" is a fundamental aspect of due process in many legal systems. It ensures that the burden of proof lies with the prosecution to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Starting a trial with a presumption of guilt would undermine this fundamental principle and deprive the defendant of a fair trial."
Just because I may want to go to trial doesn't mean I should go to trial under circumstances where my attackers enjoy immunity for their obvious crimes against me.
Please help me understand how me going to trial under these circumstances wouldn't be a presumption of guilt.
Thank you

Mr. Taylor,
Every Defendant in the U.S. is entitled to the Presumption of Innocence. This means that the jury must presume the person innocent unless or until the People have proven their case beyond a reasonable doubt. Your trial would be no different, if you choose to have a trial. I know you disagree with the way this case is charged. I do too. I told the prosecutor that today when I saw him on a hearing for another case. However, I do not get to decide how to charge defendants. Unfortunately, neither do you.
Regardless of how you or I view the facts, you would not be subject to a presumption of guilt. The court would instruct the jury that they MUST presume you are innocent unless the People prove the truth of the charges beyond a reasonable doubt. This is also part of the jury selection process. If there is an individual who says they cannot follow the law, they will not be allowed to sit on the jury. In their analysis of the facts, the jury would consider the conduct of other individuals connected with the case, such as the complaining witnesses, other percipient witnesses and the police, to name a few. They may find the conduct of the complaining witnesses was not lawful and find for you. They may find the opposite is true.
I know you are dissatisfied with how the case is charged. I share that sentiment. I need you to remain calm and focused, either on preparing for diversion or trial. Please do not contact any outside agencies, including the DA or the Judge. You need to make good decisions that serve you well and try as best you can to not let your emotions get the best of you. I know this is a very difficult experience. Please let me know if you have questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Danielle

I flew back to Seattle today. My fiancee and I decided not to proceed together due to the complications of the case. I'm not too disappointed.
This might be a stretch to ask but is it possible you can stand in for me on next court date? I'm only asking because I need to get a job out here that might require a commitment and
considering we are on the same page with pursuing diversion.
If the judge needs me to be present, I understand that, too and can travel back to LA for the court date.
Please let me know what you think I should do. My address remains the same at 77 S. Washington St. Seattle, WA 98104.

subject: Is a defendant required to cite the racial justice act to challenge an uneven application of law against him?
mailed-by: gmail.com
I think this case is everything I suspected.
"No, a defendant is not required to cite a specific act, such as the Racial Justice Act, to challenge an uneven application of the law. The defense's primary goal is to ensure that the legal proceedings are fair and just. If a defendant believes that they are facing uneven treatment or discrimination, they can raise these concerns through various legal arguments without necessarily citing a specific law.
Common legal avenues to challenge an uneven application of the law include:
1. **Equal Protection:** Arguing that the differential treatment violates the defendant's constitutional right to equal protection under the law.
2. **Due Process:** Asserting that the uneven application of the law denies the defendant due process, which includes fair treatment and a meaningful opportunity to present a defense.
3. **Selective Prosecution:** If applicable, claiming that the prosecution is selectively targeting the defendant for reasons unrelated to the merits of the case.
While laws like the Racial Justice Act may provide specific provisions related to challenging racial bias, a defendant can still raise broader constitutional and legal arguments without explicitly citing a particular statute."
Please explain the above to help me understand why I wouldn't have a path forward here exactly?

Good morning, Mr. Taylor:
These are arguments that we might be able to bring before the Judge as a pre-trial motion. The challenge with the Racial Justice Act is that it requires us to prove that your case is different than similarly situated defendants. While I don’t doubt that there is a racial component with regard to how you have been charged, the set of facts in your case is so unique that finding a defendant in the same circumstances would prove to be exceedingly difficult. It is our position, after speaking to our office expert, that we would not survive the prima facie showing before the Judge. These constitutional challenges that you raise have been discussed several times at length. I do believe that some of these arguments could be persuasive in front of a jury.
In terms of a non-statutory motion to dismiss based on constitutional principles, I am working on pursuing such a motion in the event you decline mental health diversion. However, if mental health diversion is still the path forward you feel is most appropriate for you, I encourage you to continue working towards that. I am hopeful that Dr. D’Ingillo will make contact with you very soon to begin the evaluation.
Thank you very much and please take care. Travel safely this weekend.

Equal protection arguments generally involve claiming that individuals or groups are being treated unfairly or unequally by the government. In legal proceedings, defendants making equal protection arguments may need to demonstrate differential treatment either in their own case or by providing examples of disparate treatment in similar cases to support their claim. The focus is on showing that the government's actions result in unjustifiable distinctions and unequal treatment.
If a crime was committed against me on video and I'm being charged exclusively with speculation while my attackers remain uncharged, that is unequal treatment because whether I committed a crime or not doesn't even matter if tha crimes against my person are not addressed or lawfully justified.
The prosecutor does not have authority to protect criminals whose actions are not constitutionally protected by law while using unreasonable speculation to prejudice other people.
What makes my point here invalid concerning the law?
If my attackers broke the law without question, what gives the prosecutor tha right or authority to forego tha law to speculate against another?

Prosecutorial discretion allows prosecutors to decide which cases to pursue, but it doesn't permit the intentional overlooking of crimes or undermining constitutional rights. Prosecutors are expected to act ethically and within the bounds of the law.

Question regarding mental health diversion.
Just out of curiosity. Is it possible to get a transfer for mental health services in Washington State if a MH diversion was accepted by all parties in a potential resolution of the case or will it absolutely have to be in California? I ask because I've heard about probation allowing formal transfers to another state while still being subject to conditions.

Yes- that is possible. I would venture to say it is likely, as long as the court (1) grants mental health diversion in the first place and (2) we are able to secure a mental health treatment provider who is willing to provide progress reports electronically to the court on a quarterly basis.
Probation transfers involve actual transfer of the case to a different jurisdiction after a conviction has been entered. The difference here is that with diversion, the case remains technically open for the granting court to dismiss upon completion of the diversionary period. Therefore, I’m not sure the court would agree to transfer the diversion to Washington. However, if the court were inclined to grant diversion, then I know she wouldn’t have a problem with an out of state treatment program while she monitored progress from here.
I hope this answers your question.
Is mental health diversion an option you are open to?

Would you say a MH diversion is my best option in terms of avoiding prison? How likely do you think the court and tha prosecutor would agree with it? Does it also mean there can be no countersuit?

Hi Mr. Taylor,
MH Diversion definitely helps you avoid prison as long as you are in good standing, meaning, you are fulfilling your obligations to the court. The diversion period would be two years. I do think there is a good chance that the court would grant diversion in your case. A Diversion motion would require a psychological evaluation with a doctor that I would ask the court to appoint at no cost to you. The doctor would evaluate you with specific parameters addressing the factors for diversion set forth in PC 1001.36. Once we have that evaluation, I would prepare a motion, based on the evaluation of the psychologist appointed. The court would rule on the motion. I think you have a great shot at getting mental health diversion in this case, but I cannot guarantee it with 100% certainty.
I do not believe mental health diversion precludes you from filing a counter-suit. However, that would be a civil matter, so I would advise you to consult with a civil attorney with regards to that as I am not permitted to advise on civil court matters.
I hope this answers your questions. I am working on sending you the photos you requested.
Thank you,Danielle Daroca Bell

Ok, thank you. But, before the court considers it, does the prosecutor have to agree first and if so, what would you say is the likelihood of them agreeing to it in my case?
As strongly as I feel about my innocence, I don't want to fight in court. Instead, I realize the significance of Michael Y.'s injuries and I want to be a part of the solution. I feel bad for what happened because even tho it was an inadvertent accident, his life is changed forever and I am absolutely sympathetic to that. I actually see a MH Diversion as a tremendous opportunity to get the treatment I need for my own daily balance w/o the financial cost. Just being honest with myself about my mental health conditions.
I think we should go ahead and pursue the MH Diversion.

I respect that very much, Mr. Taylor and I understand. I know how much this case has been weighing on you and affecting your life and it sounds like you’ve taken the time to consider all of your options.
The DA does NOT have to agree in order for the court to grant diversion. Your case is serious but I also think the DA’s recognize that there are certain equities involved that would render diversion a just outcome. I can’t say for sure but that’s the impression I get from speaking to the DA.
In light of your decision to pursue mental health diversion, I will get a doctor appointed to speak to you- hopefully by phone prior to 10/3. It just depends on how busy they are but I will certainly impress upon who I select that we are looking to get this done sooner than later. I will keep you updated.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

I understand it may not be in your best interest to argue with the judge. But, if you're not going to argue with the judge in terms of these charges being discriminative in nature then I am not receiving a competent defense because there is an obvious conflict of interest between you and the judge. Necessary arguments have not been made throughout this entire process and I just don't have months upon months to be strung along! This case happened when I was 31 and I'm about to turn 34.
The speculation against me is only valid IF tha other parties are charged. Otherwise, it undermines my so-called constitutional rights and I have protections for tha simple fact that video shows I was victimized. If my attackers are not charged, then it doesn't even matter whether I committed a crime or not! The crime(s) committed against me is already a fact in tha case! And I already have rights that protect me against racial discrimination which is tha only justification they have.
A person can't violently attack another person over a traffic accident nor can a person compel another person to commit a crime against his will.
I will not tolerate blatant discrimination to my face from any court. The court will answer to this claim before they proceed against me.
I'd like a response please.

The internet testifies against you in what your responsibilities are as public defenders.
If a defendant can establish a prima facie case of discriminatory charging, the burden may shift to the prosecution to provide a non-discriminatory justification for their actions. Courts will then assess the legitimacy of those justifications.
Overall, the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause applies to how a defendant is charged, and allegations of discriminatory charging can be examined in the legal process. The interpretation and application of these principles may evolve through court decisions and legal precedents.

Mr. Taylor,
Thank you for your email. I’m so sorry that Tuesday’s hearing has caused you such distress. I know how difficult this case has been for you. I’m sorry that you are going through this. However, we have had several productive discussions regarding mental health diversion and that is a goal that we are actively working towards. Dr. D’Ingillo will be making contact with you to evaluate you for eligibility pursuant to Penal Code Section 1001.36. We will work on a treatment plan that will be helpful for you in three ways: the dismissal of your case, mental health treatment and the avoidance of any jail time. We are working towards resolution. I don’t want you to lose sight of that.
Of course, if this is no longer the path you wish to pursue, I understand that as well. We can work towards jury trial. The arguments that you bring up are well-taken and could be appropriate arguments to make at trial or in a pre-trial motion to dismiss. We have discussed over the last few months, at length, how that could potentially play out.
I believe the language you are quoting regarding a “prima facie case of discriminatory charging” is language quoted directly from the Racial Justice Act Statute. I did consult with our office’s Racial Justice Act team who determined that, under these very specific circumstances, an RJA motion would not be appropriate. However, that does not preclude you from filing an alternative motion.
What I am getting at is that there are options for you. I was under the impression after our last discussion in my office conference room and in court on Tuesday that you intended to pursue mental health diversion and so that is where I put my focus.
I encourage you to consider all of your options and let me know how you wish to proceed.
Thank you,Danielle Daroca Bell

Mr. Taylor,
Ms. Bell advised me that your next court date is January 24, 2024. She expects to have the doctor’s report by then and to have filed the motion for mental health diversion. She remains hopeful that the judge will grant it on the next court date.
She and I join in your frustration that the judge denied the request to allow you to drive. We disagree with decision but it is not uncommon for attorneys to disagree with a ruling by the judge. We must, however, abide by it. If mental health diversion is granted, your permission to drive will be restored.

Mr. Taylor,
That would typically be the case when mental health diversion is granted. Ms. Bell will ensure that is the case before agreeing to mental health diversion. If the judge says your permission to drive will not be restored (which we don’t believe will happen), you can refuse to accept mental health diversion and demand a jury trial.

Ok but a jury trial under these circumstances are unjust and should be argued and challenged accordingly. But, I will accept this answer for now.
Listen, I'm not proud of my performance at court the other day and I feel your frustration because I sincerely believe you are working hard to help me. Yours and Ms. Bell's facial expressions demonstrated that and I don't hold you at fault.
Can we schedule a time next week to come in and talk please? Perhaps this meeting can be about specifically about how we can work together as a team considering my emotional and psychological weaknesses. I didn't mean to embarrass you or Ms. Bell. But these charges feel personal and I need your help.

Mr. Taylor,
I very much appreciate your comments. I’m really happy to hear that you see that we are working solely to help you. Actually, it is Ms. Bell who is doing all the work. I can tell you, without any reservation, she cares deeply about obtaining the best possible outcome for you and is motivated solely by that goal. I can objectively say that you are very lucky to have her as your lawyer.
I will make time next week to be available to talk to you, with Ms. Bell, assuming she is available also. We will await to hear from her regarding her availability.
I am aware that you have been through a lot; more than anyone should have to endure. You are obviously very intelligent. But even intelligent people have weaknesses. Recognizing our own weaknesses is actually one of the greatest strengths we can have in life. I commend you for that.

Good morning, Ms. Bell.
I understand that I've been difficult to deal with and speak to. I have come to realize that this behavior is not helping me or my lawyer work as a team. Therefore, I apologize for using profanity, vulgarity, and insults towards you. Just because I might strongly disagree with you doesn't mean you deserve to be disrespected. I was wrong. And I sincerely apologize for my conduct towards you. I will see to it that this doesn't happen again. My change of heart comes after realizing these are the opportunities to identify my triggers and to apply what I have learned in mental health treatment to prevent levels of anger from escalating. I don't want my behavior towards you to stop me from effectively participating in my own defense. So again, I sincerely apologize for my language and attitude towards you and I am going to do everything in my power to learn from this and make the necessary adjustments so this doesn't happen again.
How soon do you think I can get the full discovery uploaded to the Box folder? I have received the notice that you accepted the invitation.
Also, can you please send me copies of your failed motion to dismiss please and kindly inform me on what grounds you made the motion for? I would greatly appreciate that.
I would also like to request all transcribed correspondences between alleged victims, complaining witness, and the prosecutor along with the interrogation video.
Your diligence in this matter is crucial for my defense. I appreciate your understanding in this regard.
I look forward to your timely response.
Thank you
Michael Taylor

Mr. Taylor,
Thank you for your email.
I did not circumvent or compromise any of your constitutional rights, due process rights or equal protection rights by raising a motion to dismiss to the court yesterday. The motion is not dispositive. I am not precluded from raising it again at any other time that I see fit. As promised in our discussion on Tuesday, I am researching potential motions to dismiss to file with the court in the future. This was an oral motion, it was not written. The court denied it without prejudice, meaning, I can ask her to hear it again. I merely raised it so that the court and opposing counsel would know, since I was not the attorney of record at the preliminary hearing nor at the 995 hearing, that I believe a motion to dismiss is warranted.
As far as getting you the discovery, I will do that as quickly as I can. I will work diligently to get it to you, but I cannot promise when it will be completed.
Sincerely,Danielle Daroca Bell

Please get the discovery as soon as you can. I will let you know my travel arrangements when they are finalized.

So, because you have a predetermined interest in my case means I have to be stalled out on having the necessary information to participate in my own defense?
With all due respect to your caseload, your caseload has absolutely nothing to do with me. Please help me to be prepared in my defense.
If you are unwilling to make a motion to dismiss for selective prosecution, then you might need to discuss with your supervisor about possibly getting me a state appointed attorney. Because, I'm going to tell you right now, I won't be tolerating any further delays in my reasonable requests concerning my defense.
If you think you don't need to take orders from me, then why should you remain my lawyer? Why should you remain my lawyer if you're just going to gaslight me on every issue.
I get the impression that you plan to make whatever decision you want to, and not ones that are in MY best interest. I sincerely have reason to believe this is the case. And as far as trusting you, you are on razor thin ice. There's no reason I was supposed to be dragged thru tha mud this long. This is an obvious case of selective prosecution. So, how smart could you really be to not see that and make tha case yourself?
I want a response please.

I understand that with a public defender, a defendant's input can be considered but the lawyer makes the ultimate decision even if it is contrary to his wishes.
Those are odds I cannot afford to take. I will have to represent myself, Ms. Bell. I don't have time to sabotage any further opportunities to challenge tha charges against me.
With all due respect to your education as a lawyer, that's still not enough to earn yourself tha trust of your client. Implicit bias can absolutely be tha case. Before being a lawyer, you are a human as I am. Therefore, you're just as fallible as any person. Although unethical, you could absolutely pose a conflict of interest in my case. These things are possible. If I can't speak to help myself and I was a law abiding citizen when this incident happened, then why should you be given tha benefit of tha doubt if I'm not afforded it?
You guys hide behind a supervisor and everything you do for a defendant's case is too damn secret for me! Who's to say you guys don't have smart ass conversations about defendants off tha record? I think you're all biased because after all, it's Los Angeles. There's too many people there as it is. And there you are, working for a system where you could never impact change on a considerable level.
My gut just tells me that all of you in the public defenders office, at least for the Pasadena region, are inherently untrustworthy. I have strong reason to believe that you guys have developed a strategy that helps prosecutors secure convictions on some level to cover up your potential biases and mistakes. I think you guys would rather a defendant wrongfullt go to prison than to be embarrassed for being incompetent. Tell me I'm wrong and who knows, I MIGHT believe you.
The police report needs to be called into question. When tha police refuse to admit and acknowledge that a defendant was even attacked at all during interrogation. When 2 Armenians attack a black man in a city that is 35-40% Armenian. When prosecutors are relying on speculation against a defendant. When the court participates in the defendant's car being sold without proper notice. When the defendant can't use the car as evidence to support his defense because there are no photos of the passenger side exterior of the car. When all of the lawyers I've had persistently refuse to preserve my rights on the record amidst a potential equal protection violation. When the defendant's attackers behavior cannot be properly justified yet remain uncharged.
You are violating rights I already have! Go ahead and tell me as a citizen of The United States that I have to "earn" my constitutional rights. You can't just say you're not violating my rights as you're violating my rights. And I feel tha more I talk with you, tha more you help tha prosecutor build a rebuttal. Because truth is, you along with tha prosecutor and city of Glendale think you're doing tha world a justice by solely blaming a black man for being attacked while having no reasonable recourse. You are biased for tha simple fact that these charges undermine the goodwill of a peaceful citizen.
When I was homeless, I've spent years of mu entire day at the Pasadena Central Library. I wasn't hanging out in the parks around criminals and drug addicts. I was building websites. I was interviewing local artists about their career, goals, and experiences. Why would you allow me to suffer just because I had a right to pursue and obtain safety? Why would you refuse to argue how these rights could even just be perceived as racially discriminative?
If you and I were trapped in a hole, perhaps our interests would align on getting out of the hole. But, as it stands, you and your office do not share my best interests. And I don't think you guys have been zealous enough in your efforts to raise legal precedence during tha appropriate stage of proceedings.
All you know is what you won't do. You won't volunteer and tell me which case law to research. You're not going to give me direction on how I can best help myself. You're going to insist that I blindly trust you even tho it's painfully obvious that you're railroading me.
I want a state appointed attorney please. I am prepared to represent myself if necessary. I don't need your warnings on taking such action. For your lack of a reasonable and competent defense has manifested into a disparate impact leading me to have even more liability to tha government by being unable to process my taxes and establish payroll for my employees. I've made close to $9k this month and I've had to pay out 87% of it because this case is preventing me from running my own business AND keeping a job! Nothing about this case is righteous. You can't solely hold me accountable just because you'd rather see a black man charged than 2 Armenians who exhibited malicious intent to violate law & order. If you already know tha behavior of my attackers can't be properly justified, why are you still playing into the prosecutor's theory!?
If any felonious charges against the Yaghoubovs are not pursued, it is a violation of application of law against a defendant and absolutely a selective prosecution. Because a prosecutor's discretion doesn't give them authority to infringe upon the defendant's rights.
State appointed attorney please. Thank you.

I'm going to need an explanation from your office about how this isn't an obvious case of discriminative bias.
How are we 2 years into a case and still in pretrial and no one from the public defenders office has even hinted at tha possibility of a potential uneven application of law?
This is obvious discrimination! And if you say it isn't discrimination then that is a direct conflict of interest as suggested by admissible evidence.
Why would you presume that these charges aren't discriminative if my attackers are caught on video violating my rights AND law & order?
But u would rather me go to trial to answer to elements of charges that ignores the uneven application of laws because you are posing a conflict of interest in my case. Why is that? Because you know that if the alleged victims faced trial or even probable cause, chances are high they would be convicted!!!
You guys are not trustworthy. That's why I can't believe anything you say. All the heinous crimes you deal with all day everyday and you can't look at my case and say hey, why are 2 Armenians attacking this man and they're not charged either?
The only reason this case is a messed up situation is because you and the prosecutor and the Glendale Police Department already know you're not going to defend your client's constitutional rights. You already know you're not going to do that.
Get me that video before going home for tha day please. I don't appreciate my requests being overlooked and ignored thank you.
That's all you guys have done is everything in your power to prejudice my defense.

I’m not sure what requests you feel I’ve ignored. I responded to you yesterday that I would diligently work on your request and that is what I am doing. Your case is important to me. I am doing everything I said I would do to represent you to the fullest extent of the law, whether you choose to believe me or not.
I am working on your request as quickly as I can, but I will not be able to send you the video today. As promised, I will send it to you as quickly as I can.

Ok, well since we're tagging Casey in this email, here is what I need explained to me:
Why wasn't racial bias concerning these charges brought up at the beginning of this case? If charges are not pursued against my attackers, then this equates to a presumption of guilt because their actions cannot be properly justified without implying my guilt.

That's not going to work and you know it. We are not going to exercise any "racial justice" act. It's absolutely unnecessary if tha charges are already fraudulent.
You talking about racial justice act is just another strategy to sabotage my defensible options. We don't need to invoke a political act if tha charges are already illegal.
I have a better strategy than you.
We will have tha prosecutor clarify tha charges on tha record.
We will use their own language to challenge tha legality of tha charges.
The racial justice act is just another way of saying "we don't think tha prosecutor is wrong in tha charges against Michael Taylor"
I can't understand how me insisting on rights I already have is too much to ask from you people.
Even amidst speculative evidence, you only propose weak defenses. Why, because you and tha prosecutor share tha same offices. There is an obvious conflict of interest and I'm sick and fucking tired of tha bad people in this country ruining shit for everyone else.
Obey tha law! My constitutional rights can't be given nor taken away.
We will not be utilizing any racial justice act. We will challenge tha charges outright.
And this conflict of interest with you and tha prosecutor is really pissing me tf off! They're wrong. And I don't give a fuck if you believe me or not.

Your office is doing Glendale PD a favor to make sure I get convicted for something I shouldn't be responsible for.
Even if "equal protection" doesn't work, why are none of you guys from the public defenders office challenging the legality of charges or raising concerns about potential discrimination in the charged?
I was attacked for crying out loud. If it's about me being held responsible, the alleged victims can file a lawsuit. But there's no way I should have criminal charges exclusively when we have video evidence of me being attacked without it being discrimination because there is no other justification for their malicious criminal behavior.
And you are denying me justice and the right to a fair trial by standing in my way of a proper defense. How is it not ineffective assistance of counsel when you've been nothing but ineffective? You can't even convince one person to believe you and I'm just supposed to blindly trust you?!
A true Christian could never do this to someone. It's tha catholic type that don't lose sleep at night for denying people justice. Thinking you can just do all this dirt and confess it later. Forgiveness doesn't work like that. Repentance has to be sincere.
Your office would rather go thru tha trouble of hiring expensive doctors on tha tax payers dime to come and explain why something is wrong with me!? I'm not tha one who responded with violence to a fender bender! You keep making lame arguments that give credence to tha prosecutor's case and you slip it in there real slick to make it seem like you're doing your job but in reality you are outright refusing to preserve my rights on the record.
How could you be so afraid to challenge the legality of charges with proof they attacked me and tha prosecutor's reliance on speculation?
Whh would Christian not raise tha issue of potential bias in tha charges and instead talk about a 3rd party in tha Toyota Sequoia who had absolutely nothing to do with me!? All that argument did was compound tha question of my guilt instead of raising issues that speak to tha true nature of this case.
A man punched my window out as I was trying to park my car. Why should any civilian have to be met with such evil? And to hold me solely accountable for having no recourse in such a situation is outright irresponsible! And that means you are bad people. Prejudice people. Why should I be held accountable for another person's reckless negligence?
How could you play a part in robbing me of my future? Why does tha prosecutor need to speculate against me as if these 2 men have a right to break tha law? By allowing these charges to go to trial, you are basically saying
-Armenians can commit crime, but blacks or others cannot.-It's lawful to respond with violence to traffic infractions-Public order and safety is not a common government interest
The prosecutor is only willing to go to trial under tha condition that I answer alone to matters that speak nothing to tha fact that me, a peaceful citizen, was maliciously attacked.
And now, you're delaying me receiving my discovery so that I can properly defend myself. Let me tell you something. I serve my community like it's Armageddon. If I were my client who made this request I would see to it that he got what he asked for. But, seeing how you go home weekends at a time while I'm losing sleep and having anxiety attacks obviously means nothing to you.
Why would you work for an office that would have you cross helpless people? This is what you signed up for so how innocent of a person could you really be? I didn't sign up to be a lawyer, you did! And you can't even do that right.
I want the interrogation video and the full on police reports uploaded to the shared box folder before the end of day Tuesday. I don't think it's right that I am delayed any further by your negligence.
My best interest is my personal interest. And whatever you have planned or predetermined on my behalf does not trump my own personal interests. I don't care who has what to say about that.

Good morning, Mr. Taylor,
As previously promised, please find a link to the video of your interrogation below. Unfortunately, I was unable to upload it to your box account because the file is too large. Please let me know if you have any issues opening it. I am still working on the redaction of the police reports, but hope to have it to you soon.
I thought I made myself abundantly clear, but it is evident by your emails from last week that you were unclear about my position. I will not respond to emails wherein you are using profanity, insulting me, or calling me names, etc. I will not tolerate it. If you expect a professional response to your inquires and questions, then you will need to send them in a respectful manner.
Sincerely,
Danielle Daroca Bell

You are going to defend my constitutional rights on tha record if you want my respect. Otherwise, you're just a hostile official in my way. Perhaps start acting like a lawyer for a change.
Derailing my entire life and gaslighting me on rights I already have is disrespectful to me. Because I wake up everyday able ready and willing to make a difference when it counts. The people who know me tha most will tell you that I do not play games with people. This is a serious matter so excuse me if I don't give a fuck about your little bitch ass feelings.

Mr. Taylor,
No. It was not deliberate. I have many cases. I am working as quickly as I can. You have said many times in your previous emails that my other cases do not matter, however, those clients deserve my time and energy as well. You are free to make whatever conclusions you like. I continue, despite whatever it is you believe, to work diligently on your case and in your defense.

Just so we're clear, we are not ready to set a trial date. Do not set a trial date on August 23rd. I would like to be present in court if that happens. On Wednesday August 23rd, we will put it over approximately 2 weeks so that I can travel back from Seattle, Washington and address my concerns in person.
This is also a friendly reminder for you to call me before end of day Tuesday. It makes no sense for you to stand in for me without speaking with me the week of.
I strongly believe you guys are working hard to prejudice me and manipulate me behind the judge's back. But, tha judge will be told about your negligent defense if I am not contacted prior to my court date. I have the phone number to the courtroom clerk and will be checking in with them first thing Wednesday morning.

Mr. Taylor,
I have received your emails. I appreciate how difficult this experience has been for you and, although I know you are skeptical, I want to assure you that I only have your best interest at heart.
I understand that equal protection under the law is the argument you wish to make to the court. While I stand by my assessment that that is not the appropriate legal argument in this case, I do recognize that there is a racial component to the prosecution of this case that I believe should be explored and argued appropriately. In researching the issues that are presented in your case, I have considered recent legislation in California entitled, “The Racial Justice Act” (hereinafter RJA). I am still working on the applicability of the RJA to your case, given the specific circumstances involved. I would be happy to provide you additional information with regard to this.
I, too, would like us to be able to have an open dialogue about your case. I realize that this is a very difficult time in your life and I certainly do not want to be contributing to that. My goal is always to help my clients to the best of my ability and that is all I hope to do for you.
I understand that you will not be physically in court on Wednesday, August 23, 2023 and it is your request that I appear for you. I will agree to represent you this Wednesday, however, I do think it is important for you to come to court physically in the near future so I can meet you in person and discuss moving forward with the defense of your case. Please provide me with dates certain where you will be available to appear physically in court.
In addition, I look forward to discussing your case with you tomorrow. I am available from 3:30-4. Please let me know if this works with your schedule.
Thank you,Danielle Daroca Bell

Ok. We will exercise the racial justice act AND make claims for selective prosecution. And if it can be proven then we'll throw ineffective assistance of counsel in there as well. It's not personal.
Due process has virtually been denied since your implicit bias concerning my rights have already led to a disparate impact. Why am I tha only person in this entire case pointing out tha obvious? It is imperative to note that my constitutional rights are already afforded to me. They are not something I have to earn or work for or qualify for. I already have them.
There will be no damage control for the prosecutor. We will be aggressive in our claims.
These cops and the prosecutor aren't stupid. They know they're trying to prejudice me. This is politics. These charges are a deliberate attempt to use my race, lack of profile, and post traumatic stress to prove their case I am being charged exclusively over politics. But tha prosecutor is not tha legislature so they must work within the confines of the law or the judge may dismiss tha case.
Ms. Bell, I know you know what you need to say, but if your actions don't reflect my best interests, then that can cause a potential breakdown in communication. I am keenly aware of how you guys use omissions to get what you want.
I don't need phony fact based arguments. I don't waste time arguing with foolish people. To answer to these charges would be an absolute farce. These Men ambushed me, obstructed my path to safety, and compelled me to commit what they want to call a crime. There's absolutely no way I should be charged exclusively unless there is a presumption of guilt. Under what circumstances should a prosecutor defend obvious criminals? This is a civil issue.
Can you please provide me with a video link to the interrogation video? I think Mr. Le gave me access to the box folder but I need the details again.
I will be back in Los Angeles first week of September. That's when I'll be able to afford a ticket back to LA. Please allow me enough time as I am constantly having to pay money I make to other drivers who can legally drive.
Thank you

Hello Mr. Taylor,
As requested, I appeared for you today in Department F. I made two motions to the court. First, I made a motion to dismiss to the Court and asked her to dismiss the case. The Court denied the motion. Second, I asked the Court to delete the no driving term as a condition of OR on the grounds that (1) it was overbroad and not sufficiently tied to the nature of the proceedings and (2) that it was creating a financial hardship for you. The court preliminarily denied that as well, however, she did say that she would take it under submission for the next hearing date.
The Court will be dark the last two weeks of September and the calendar was full until October 3, 2023. That is the next court date. Hopefully that gives you time to be able to get yourself here to Los Angeles as well as gives me time to prepare your case. Please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have.
Thank you,

You just told me you understand you have to earn my trust! Why would you turn around and burn me like that!? You know that was against my best interest and personal interest.

Just so you understand my reasoning, this is the information I've collected on the internet concerning your conduct.
"A defendant's lawyer generally does not have a right to sabotage or prematurely submit a motion to dismiss against their client's wishes. Lawyers have a duty to act in the best interests of their clients, follow their clients' instructions, and provide competent representation. This includes respecting their client's decisions about legal strategies, including whether to submit a motion to dismiss.
If a lawyer submits a motion to dismiss against their client's wishes or engages in behavior that goes against the client's best interests, it could potentially be considered a breach of the lawyer's ethical duties and professional obligations. It might also be a violation of the client's right to effective assistance of counsel.
If a defendant believes that their lawyer is acting against their wishes, it's important to communicate their concerns to the lawyer and, if necessary, seek a second opinion from another legal professional. If the situation remains unresolved, the defendant might need to consider taking appropriate legal action to protect their rights and interests."

You will not be representing me anymore. The public defender's office will no longer handle my case. You are irresponsible and lazy people who have bias.

Why does the counsel I get from public defenders not match up with online sources? Do you understand why I have a hard time believing you?
Equal protection applies not only to civil law but also to criminal law. It ensures that individuals are treated fairly and equally by the government, whether in civil or criminal matters. This includes how defendants are charged, prosecuted, and treated within the criminal justice system. If you believe your equal protection rights are being violated in a criminal case, it's important to consult with a legal professional to assess the specific circumstances and explore your options.
Yes, you may be able to argue an equal protection violation if you can show that you are being treated differently or unfairly compared to others who are similarly situated. If the alleged victims also committed a crime but are not being charged, and you believe this treatment is based on factors like race, gender, or another protected characteristic, it could potentially raise concerns about equal protection under the law. Consulting with a legal professional who can assess the specifics of your case is advisable for a more accurate evaluation.
Equal Protection under the law generally applies to all individuals, regardless of their specific characteristics. It ensures that everyone is treated equally and fairly by the government, without discrimination based on race, gender, religion, or other protected attributes. While it is designed to prevent discrimination against specific classes of people, its application is not limited solely to those classes.

Ms. Bell said I haven't been denied due process. But, I have been denied due process! Equal Protection aside, due process was violated tha moment my car was released and sold without my notice.
You say this isn't an equal protection issue simply because you don't want to believe tha prosecutor filed charges discriminatively. But any time there is discrimination, do you think tha offenders are just going to admit it? Of course not!
What makes this an equal protection issue is that race is tha motivator
The mere speculation by tha prosecutor is the action that makes this discrimination. It's discrimination because evidence reveals these two Men committed a malicious crime. The prosecutor has absolutely no business defending criminals while peaceful citizens are subject to answer alone!
By you continuing to deny equal protection, you are basically helping tha prosecutor try me bc u guys believe them. And why wouldn't you believe them? You know them a lot more than you know me. You see them more than you'll ever see me.

Does equal protection only apply to employment law?
No, equal protection is a constitutional principle that extends beyond employment law. It is a fundamental concept enshrined in the U.S. Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment, which states that no state shall deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. This principle is applied across various areas of law, including but not limited to civil rights, criminal justice, education, housing, and more. It ensures that individuals are treated fairly and without discrimination by government entities and institutions.

Being charged exclusively for a crime even though evidence suggests you were the one attacked could potentially raise concerns about equal protection under the law. If you believe that you are being unfairly treated or discriminated against due to a bias or failure to consider evidence, it's important to consult with a legal professional to assess whether your equal protection rights may have been violated and to explore your options for addressing the situation.

A situation where you are being charged for a crime despite evidence suggesting you were attacked, and your lawyer insists your due process hasn't been violated, might raise concerns about equal protection. If you believe that you are not receiving equal treatment under the law based on your circumstances, it's important to thoroughly discuss your concerns with your lawyer and consider seeking a second legal opinion. Equal protection issues can be complex and context-dependent, so consulting with legal experts familiar with your specific case is advisable.

Im not fighting a case I've been fighting you my lawyers.
To insist I haven't been denied due process is an equal protection issue in and of itself.
How am I being treated equally under the law if I'm being charged exclusively? To charge me exclusively and to force me to answer alone is an obvious presumption of guilt.
You agree with tha prosecutor that they're not treating me unfairly because u want me to suffer just like they do!
The prosecutor can speculate all they want. But, they can't speculate against hard evidence JUST BECAUSE they want to see me in trouble instead of the assailants.
Speculation is not a common government interest. Public order and safety is a common government interest. And this incident, if anything, was a crime against public order and safety. To hold me solely accountable on speculation alone is a direct presumption of guilt.
This is fundamentally wrong! Nothing about tha charges against me make sense. And you agree they're fucked up bc what? Because you know you're working hard to sabotage my case and ruin my life. You're trying to create a criminal out of me for what? I deserve a better defense than this.
I'm going to argue to tha judge that every lawyer I have received from tha Public Defenders Office has presumed my guilt. They have presumed my guilt by gaslighting my constant requests for tha defense of my constitutional rights. I have been effectively denied zealous representation. And they have preyed upon my potential ignorance of the law and it's process.

I'm 100% sure you guys are helping tha prosecutor!
Why are you more concerned with working on mental health diversion to ensure I lose even If I don't get convicted? Instead of simply defending my rights, you spend hard earned tax dollars to pay for expensive doctors because you're helping tha prosecutor focus tha case away from tha attackers!!!!!!!
You people are absolutely no good and yes, you deserve to be in prison for this. Christian Le, Ms. Daroca-Bell, Mr. Cox, Ms Eby, you all deserve to go to prison for cheating me out of a fair trial.
How am I not being treated unfairly and unequally if tha people who actually committed tha crime doesn't get charged, but I do.
I outright reject this false notion that I'm just in a fucked up situation. YOU ARE THE ONED KEEPING ME IN A FUCKED UP SITUATION. ITS YOU GUYS! I don't trust Catholics. Because you guys would deceive tha world concerning Jesus Christ, so why wouldn't you deceive me into believing my rights haven't been violated. My rights were violated tha moment you refused to defend them!
Oh you guys are in for a rude awakening. You preyed upon my ignorance of tha law and have manipulated me to accept your worthless defenses! This is a fact! And on August 23rd, I'm making another case against you guys and I'm going to request tha judge summon tha jail phone recordings to prove that Christian Le presumed my guilt! I don't care anything about you denying it! It's already recorded!
We not playing games of charades. Even if you don't want to call it equal protection, you still can't use speculation to racially discriminate. And it is, in fact, discrimination because I. Am. Being. Charged. Exclusively. There is no other lawful explanation for their actions! You know this.
Out here talking about calcrimm before we even got to trial smh. Yea, u want me to face trial so that tha presumption of guilt stands. Because you know tha jury already perceives people guilty just for being involved in a criminal trial. You know that people believe officials even without evidence. So, my lawyers have been working to get me to trial so that I have a chance to go to prison instead of prosecuting actual crime!!!!!!!!!!!!
The prosecutor's speculation does not amount to any common government interest because it's discrimination.
This incident was a crime against public order and safety because tha actions of tha attackers put innocent bystanders at risk of injury. This was not heat of passion or mutual combat. And it is a common government interest to protect public order and safety. So, because this was a public order and safety issue, I shouldn't be charged at all if tha attackers are not charged! That's relevant whether you wanna call it equal protection or not!
Equal protection is part of due process and it exists to ensure government bodies do not treat groups differently. It applies to all people.
What kind of person do you have to be to represent a client YOU ALREADY KNOW IS BEING CHEATED ON!? And instead of giving him tha zealous representation he rightfully deserves, you take his defense in tha direction that gives tha prosecutor credence?
If tha prosecutor wants to put people in jail, they have to follow tha rules. And regardless of what you racist and prejudice people say or think, I am protected by these rules. You can't charge me out of tha penal code when tha penal code already justifies my actions. But, u wanna talk calcrimm to me like I'm some random dumbass smh
Yall fucked up. You made a grave mistake! And I will make sure you know it! All of my actions in life are in good faith! And you faggots barked up tha wrong fucking tree homie.

Public defenders have a legal and ethical duty to protect their client's constitutional rights. This includes rights such as the right to a fair trial, the right to remain silent, the right to legal representation, and other fundamental rights outlined in the Constitution. Public defenders are tasked with providing competent and zealous representation for individuals who cannot afford private legal counsel. Their role is to ensure that their clients' rights are upheld throughout the legal process.

Mr. Taylor,
I apologize for the late reply, but it took me a while to read through the emails you sent while I was out of the office on a personal matter. I have had the chance to review the emails you sent. I want to assure you that I have only your best interest at heart with regard to this case and I intend, as I do with all of my clients, to fight for you to the fullest extent of the law. Although you may disagree, I have reviewed your file extensively and I agree with Mr. Le’s assessment of your case. I believe that he was right in advising you that equal protection was not a viable argument in your defense.
As I explained to you in my email last week, in my opinion, you have a strong case and the DA has significant weaknesses on their side. You also have the option of pursuing diversion on your case if you should so choose.
Will you be coming to court in person on 8/23/23? Please let me know.
Thank you,Danielle Daroca Bell

I find it suspicious that I have more questions than you guys have for me considering I was there and you weren't.
What makes you so sure I'm not being prejudiced? This is perverted justice.
On August 23rd, I won't be able to make it to court physically.
But, we are going to ask the court to request that the prosecutor clarify how these speculative charges are consistent with a common government interest of protecting public order and safety. I have a letter already drafted. Will send to you later today.
Whether there is an argument for equal protection or not, it makes perfect sense to preserve my rights on tha record amidst speculative evidence.
You guys are jokers bro I FUCKING hate your guts for being biased towards me.

Hi Mr. Taylor-
So nice to hear from you. I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. Thank you so much for reaching out. I’m working to get up to speed on the cases I received as quickly as I can. My goal is to call you by the end of the week to discuss your case. I’m hoping to call you sometime Thursday afternoon. Please let me know if that works for you.

Ok now I might not be important to tha world in your view. But I really don't think my position concerning so-called equal protection is far fetched.
I mean, what this prosecutor's office is doing to me is almost no different than what tha federal government is doing with Trump in contrast to Biden. Weaponizing institutions against people it doesn't like!
And for what!? The case should be thrown out for tha simple fact that there is no lawful justification for responding with violence to a traffic infraction.
If there is no excuse to not know tha law, why is this being overlooked?
Why are every single one of my viable legal defenses overlooked and downplayed like tha book doesn't fucking say it!? I didn't write or prescribe tha penal code. Why should I respect your profession if your whole strategy is just a game of charades?
You guys make arrogant assumptions all day long because you deal with defendants who think they know better than you. But when you get a defendant who makes a sound legal argument, you wanna act like I can't figure this out on my own.
Why does any state prosecutor have so-called powers to prosecute pure speculation over hard evidence? Why does a prosecutor have discretion to break tha very law we are all held to, in order to criminalize peaceful citizens!?
There is no case here. They have all just been wasting my fucking time!
Because if you think you can break tha law to enforce it against me, that is perceived hostility. I am a citizen of tha United States. I wasn't even a California resident when this incident took place. And this gross violation of my civil rights is producing heinous circumstances for me alone.
I hate this fucking country because of people like you. Because you betray my trust! Because everyday I wake up to do tha right thing and you fucking insult me by tha idea of creating a criminal out of me. Ya fucking bitches!
Drop this fucking case!

Mr. Taylor,
When we emailed last week, I advised you that I had reached out to the DA about meeting with him regarding your case. I’m very sorry that this case causes you so much distress and I want to see a fair resolution for you. Linda and I will call you tomorrow afternoon so we can discuss your issues with this case.
Again, Mr. Taylor, I am working on your behalf to resolve your case. I don’t appreciate your language. I look forward to speaking with you tomorrow.

Hello Mr. Taylor,
As promised, I did meet with the assigned Deputy District Attorney today regarding your case. I laid out all of the strengths of your case and pointed put the weaknesses in theirs. He agreed that their case has some issues in terms of proving the charge, however, he has ultimately decided that he will not be dismissing the case.
I think that Mental Health Diversion is an option for resolution. Mental Health Diversion is a 2 year program which would require you to participate in some type of mental health services for a 2 year period. Once the two year period is up, as long as you are in compliance with treatment and have obeyed all laws, the court will dismiss your case. Mental health diversion does not involve a guilty or no contest plea and you would maintain your not guilty plea for the duration of the diversionary period. Mental health diversion requires that I file a motion with the court and the court would have to grant the motion to allow you to participate in treatment, but I do believe it’s a viable option in your case if you’d like to pursue it.
Finally, if you are not interested in a resolution of your case by way of mental health diversion or some other plea agreement, then we would set the case for jury trial. I would be representing you at the jury trial where 12 people from the community would serve as jurors, listen to the evidence in the case and decide whether you are guilty or not guilty. I believe you have a viable defense to these charges and would be prepared to argue as such to the jury. If you are found guilty after trial, the court would sentence you.
I look forward to hearing from you with regard to the above and hope we can discuss your options. Your next court date is 8/23/23.
Sincerely,

If I'm expected to act cordial and professional throughout this process, how come my public defenders can't just admit to me that I'm right about my concerns for equal protection? Whether we argue it or not in court, why can't you give me credit when I'm actually right? And why would you assume I'm not insulted or offended by being gaslighted, steamrolled, and outright ignored every time I have a valid point to make?
Why does it mean so much more to you to steamroll defendants on their cases?
Either we're governed by law and order or by prejudice and emotion. You decide.

If a prosecutor in California refuses to respect the equal protection rights of defendants, it could potentially raise legal and ethical concerns. Defendants and their legal representatives have the right to raise such issues in court and challenge any actions or decisions that appear to violate equal protection principles. The court system should provide a mechanism for addressing such disputes and ensuring that defendants' constitutional rights are upheld. This might involve filing motions, presenting evidence, and arguing the case before the judge. Ultimately, the court's decision will depend on the specifics of the situation and the interpretation of applicable laws.

Mr. Taylor,
I know that Mr. Le explained this to you many times before. Equal Protection is not a plausible defense argument against the charges that have been brought against you. Although you see yourself (and I see you) as a victim in this incident, the District Attorney’s office does not necessarily view the evidence the same way. They believe that you intentionally ran over the complaining witness causing his injuries. I don’t believe that. I believe this was an accident and your reaction to a very frightening scenario was reasonable. In my opinion, anyone in that same situation would have been terrified at a man coming to the driver’s side door and breaking the window and would have tried to get out of the situation as quickly as possible. However, the DA is open to interpreting the evidence as they see fit and, in this case, unfortunately, they do not view it the same way as we do. That’s why you have the opportunity to fight your case, and ultimately, if you decide to do so, argue the case to the jury.
Equal protection is an argument made for a protected class of individuals. You have not been deprived of due process as this is what this court proceeding is. You have due process under the law meaning you have the ability to fight your case, have counsel, explore defenses, etc. Not only does qual protection not fit here legally, in my opinion, it is not the argument that leaves you with the best chance of prevailing against these charges.
As I explained in my email last evening, you have some options here, and I’d like to discuss them with you. I will be out of the office on a personal matter until Thursday, August 17, 2023. I look forward to speaking to you next week. Furthermore, you are always welcome to come to court on 8/23/23 if you wish.
Thank you for your time.

What do you mean Equal protection is for a "protected class" exactly? That is just not how it is spelled out in tha Legislature.
So if equal protection is a protected class, then you admit I don't have protection, right?
The prosecutor can think whatever he or she wants but that doesn't mean their discretion should allow them to try defendants prejudicely. And with my car being stolen and tha court helping it happen, I don't think you guys quite understand what you're doing to me.
To be tried exclusively for me being attacked. I'm sorry but I do not agree with tha terms of California court. I do not agree nor consent because regardless of how you guys want to interpret tha law, it is causing serious emotional and psychological harm to me on a daily basis and I am now subject to have an absolute meltdown over this. This country has lost it's way.

I cannot understand for tha life of me why you and tha court have to waste my time with this bullshit case.
As an American citizen, I have a right to equal protection of the laws. Period. Therefore, tha prosecutor has no case!
And as a public defender, that's a great defense because you are defending my constitutional rights.
Just because you don't want to take that option does not mean it isn't valid. And it shouldn't take months of court dates to try and get just one count removed. This whole case could've taken one meeting to dismiss this whole case. And now, you are working with them and against me as this entire ordeal has left me completely fucked off out here!
The DA and detectives are just mad that I didn't incriminate myself because they don't want to see a European lose to a black man. But, what kind of message is that? They cannot weaponize tha office of tha district attorney against it's own citizens and yet here you are refusing to reach out to Gascon on my behalf as if it would hurt my case.
I seen all tha countless cops named in my case. They want to see me convicted even if it's tha wrong thing to do. And you're helping them without incriminating yourself. Public defenders don't defend tha public. Instead, you help tha prosecutor NOT LOSE.
There's no way to justify public defenders not directly attacking tha prosecutor's arguments. None. And as a Man who has his own sense of justification, I care nothing about policy or what your boss told you to do. That means absolutely nothing to me. The only thing that matters right now is my so-called constitutional rights being respected and honored. What I am asking is not even too much.
The court, the county, city of Glendale, police, have all profited off my current disposition. This is an injustice. And it doesn't matter what you guys think. Only what can be proven. And it can be proven that I have civil rights and that those rights have been violated by all parties in this case... including you, Mr. Le. Yes.
The dad had tha first opportunity to contact emergency and render aid, but instead took tha law in his own hands and tried to break an entering into my vehicle while I was occupying it. I've committed no crime here! And by tha court revoking my driving privileges, they have effectively joined tha prosecutor in tha violation of my constitutional rights.
Why should my rights be violated before I can prevent it from happening?
I know one thing for 100% certain. I will not be going to prison nor will I be staying in California for any program mental health or otherwise.
If they're going to violate my rights, then they may as well renounce my citizenship in this country.

I have addressed these issues with you previously and on multiple occasions. The Judge in Dept. H also addressed these concerns that you have when you requested a hearing to have me removed as your counselor, and when you were considering going pro per. I have met the DA Head Deputy Teresa Gomez and presented things in mitigation previously and submitted all the things that your friends submitted to me. I asked her to dismiss the case. She was not willing to do that. Due to what I observed when you addressed the court and was considering going pro per I believed that your mom’s substance abuse while pregnant with you has possibly affected your brain function. If so I believe this to be possibly relevant in your defense, and is certainly mitigation. I have explained that there is a new DA assigned your case now, and that I would like to work everything up to present to him and once again ask for a dismissal. He will have to address it with his supervisor, but I feel that he is a lot more reasonable than the previous DA. I have followed up with Dr. Kowell to get me a report as soon as possible. I have tried my best to assist you.

I’ve explained to you multiple times why I had put the matter over. There is an expert evaluation that is pending that is relevant to your defense. My supervisor has reassigned your case to an attorney from my office whose name is Noah Cox. I have ccd him to this e-mail. His phone number is 323-393-0497. You can call or text him at that number.

Waiting to hear from you Monday morning just reaffirms my suspicions. I'm an entrepreneur in every sense of tha word. And if there's a deal to be made, I will broker it myself.
California will not make decisions on my behalf FOR me. I am a sovereign citizen of the United States. The state has no right to violate my rights. Period.

To explain or even defend myself against these allegations inadvertently gives credibility to them. There needs to be an honest narrative on this case. The simple truth. I have no time for any idiot whatsoever that wants to act or believe like I cant speak to help myself. I told you what happened, if they don't "want" to believe me, then why should I respect their stance?
If we were to run thru this incident in order of events, it would, by legal definition, make me tha victim. I never committed a crime. To say I was angry is 100% complete speculation. But, we have all tha evidence necessary to prove that not only did Yaghoubov commit a crime, but acted in a way that is unlawful, put the public in danger, and his SPECIFIC ACTIONS are not protected by tha constitution. The same constitution that gives me a right to due process.
My question is this. If our state constitution says that we have a right to due process (which tha court clearly honors outright) and in tha same paragraph states that a person may not be denied equal protection of tha laws, how can they press charges on me based on assumptions when evidence clearly reveals tha man committed a malicious and intentional crime? How?
How does tha court pick and choose what they are going to honor on behalf of tha law they wrote? I'm going to represent myself because tha prosecutor will have to go thru me personally as I do not respect their stance nor do I approve of their abuse of power.
Now, it's no secret that, as a public defender, you're not going to attack tha DA's argument where it counts. I'm not going to spend all these court dates explaining so-called facts on tha record. I will state tha law on tha record in court at trial. I will be stating tha law! And if that is something you're unwilling to do then you don't have to be my lawyer.
I tell you this respectfully, with acknowledgements to your efforts and contributions to my cause. If it's unethical for me to meet with the prosecutor at a chance to liberate myself then why should I leave them to you? They cannot hide behind a public defender. In tha end, I won't have to explain my actions as evident as it seems. But, they'll have to answer for defending and justifying a repeat criminal offender before this case can be eligible for a trial. Why should I settle for testifying? I'd only be able to address questions they ask me. But, if I represent myself, I can say what needs to be said.
Fact of tha matter is, I can't trust a lawyer let alone a public defender who has any other cases against tha same prosecutors. It places severe limits on what you could actually do for me. Kinda feels like you're defending tha prosecutor's office tha way you refuse to make a legal based argument. Making fact based arguments during pretrial will only help move this along to trial. And as far as I'm concerned, this case is ineligible for trial. You can't defend a criminal and press charges on tha victim. Just because you incur injury in tha commission of a crime, doesn't make you any less liable for that crime. Calcrimm can suck it, it won't be necessary.

You have definitely put a lot of thought into this decision. Representing yourself is a decision you are Constitutionally allowed to make and do. Going pro per will allow you to talk directly to the court and prosecutor. I have tried my best to explain the legal process to you.

Good afternoon, Mr. Le.
Quick question. For tha sake of argument, who's to say these guys didn't plan and plot to victimize somebody in that parking lot considering his interactions with the subjects before I arrived?
I feel like these charges are racially motivated because after all, this was two Armenian Men in Glendale against a Black man so that's why everything has been unfair. Even if they want to try me, they'd have to press charges on tha other two since it can be argued that all of us put the public in danger. Otherwise, this is surely a violation of my rights and an equal protection issue.
It's not right to file charges against me just because I'm who they'd rather believe is guilty. This is not right nor is it in tha interest of justice. There's too high a risk they are penalizing tha true victim in this case. Using speculation as a means to overlook tha malicious intent of two Armenian Men in Glendale against a peaceful citizen sounds like racial discrimination to me. That's tha only reason why this whole case is "fucked up". These charges are unethical.

She wanted to give the DA a background of the case outside the presence of Michael’s parents. Basically said that the parents come every time, and has gotten into it with you at times so that’s why they are seated in court. She put the blame more so on them for getting into it with you. She also let the DA know that Michael Y. seemed like he had problems that day, and initiated what happened. She is encouraging us to resolve it. I asked the DA to review the file from our perspective, and dismiss the attempted murder outright.

If we want to be technical, Michael Y.'s father had the first opportunity to render aid and/or contact emergency but instead took matters into his own hands and compelled me to flee. How are we dealing with that?

You have pled Not Guilty to those charges. We will be going to trial on those charges. I am trying to get them to dismiss the most serious charges b/c they were willing to do that if you were going to take a deal where you had to plead no contest. I asked the new DA to dismiss the attempted murder b/c it was an accident.

I gave you a copy of the CALCRIM instruction for the hit and run charge and attempted murder charge. I also went over it with you. That’s how we are dealing with it. By negating one of the elements. Have a good weekend Michael.
