I'm super interested in criminal justice. It started with a passion for the Kristin Smart case in San Luis Obispo, CA where a young woman from Cal Poly SLO disappeared and law enforcement took over 20 years to arrest anyone. Luckily that has changed and hopefully justice will be served. Then the Black Lives movement and the Me Too movement got me interested. Also I found that my doppleganger twin from another mother (and another father ha!) is a person with my same name (different middle name, she's Lyza Coreen Johnsen and that's definitely not my middle name) who was a SLO process server who had a felony swindling case of fraud in the same town of San Luis Obispo (or is it Paso Robles, CA?). She was convicted and sentenced to prison for bad checks as a process server, and that made me feel even more like I have some weird connection to the jail / court system.
And I'm also passionate about the criminal justice system because of course the killing of so many innocent black people, while obviously guilty white people (boys and men mostly) live... it's just outrageous.
So this page is where I'll write and share photography about all this legal and law and justice stuff.
Update 2/2/23 - I haven't been on the website for a while and then just the other day I decided I should update it. Now I see that I have lots of places where I mention the Kristin Smart trial and now that the trial is over I'm so happy!
Paul Flores is a monster and it's so unfair he lived free for so many years. His father most certainly had a hand in the murder or coverup and I'm so sad he was not also convicted.
Now my interest in the criminal justice system is more about the podcasts I love. Most of the Wondry true crime podcasts are so interesting but I hate it when the end result is that the guilty person goes free. I'm thinking particularly about Dr. Death Season 3 Paolo that awful trachea doctor who maimed and tortured so many people without any justification for using those experimental prosthetics in any human being ever. What a monster.
