“Thrown Out” is not a legal term and I would not have used it, if DDA Kimberly Perrotti had not said it in court.
Yesterday was a first for me in 22 years observing and reporting of SMC Courts. San Mateo County District Attorney Deputy Kimberly Perrotti informed the court that she had personally contacted the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s prosecutor who was trying a case that Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez’s Co-Counsel Erica Elizabeth Treeby was the defense attorney in. She reported to Judge Scott that Ms. Treeby would be available on March 17, 2022 in SMC, because of this alleged conversation. She did not identify this person, and this person has not been called to testify about this alleged conversation and there was no declaration filed.
I think it would be great for the public to know about that entire conversation from start to finish.
I would like to know how many times DDA Kimberly Perrotti has checked up on the Defense Attorneys opposing her?
Remember this is a Political Prosecution of Sheriff Deputy Juan P. Lopez it’s that simple. Photo below is from 2014. You do the math for lost wages and cost to Defend against these False Charges, that were “THROWN OUT”

This was changed after SMCN.com article was published. This is just one example of the Odyssey Official Records are only as good as the entry from the Court Clerk.
