District Attorney Brooke Jenkins faces criticism regarding her involvement in a Bar-mandated ethics diversionary program after being accused of misconduct, including accessing a confidential rap sheet without proper involvement. Retired judge Martha Goldin, along with former Assistant District Attorney Alexandra Grayner, argues that Jenkins should not receive diversion due to inadequate remorse and accountability. Their appeals emphasize that diversion is inappropriate when compared to more stringent penalties faced by other attorneys for lesser infractions. By presenting new evidence, Goldin calls for the reopening of the case, asserting the need for appropriate repercussions for Jenkins's actions.
Jenkins has accepted no responsibility for her own actions, which raises questions about the effectiveness of the ethics diversionary program mandated by the State Bar.
Goldin's appeal underscores a discrepancy in disciplinary actions, highlighting cases where attorneys faced greater consequences for less egregious misconduct.
