Meeting with Assemblymember Weber
Anand Jon’s Path to Freedom: A San Diego Meeting with Assemblymember Weber The group meeting with Assemblymember Shirley Weber from left to right: Shazia Khan, Mariana Cordoba, Sonal Vora, Rajendra Vora, Assemblymember Shirley Weber, Victoria Olango, Amy Povah, Seth Gordon and Tim Milgren. On February 19, 2020, I received an invitation from the American Justice Alliance organization to be part a panel to meet with the Assemblymember Dr. Shirley Weber of San Diego on March 6, 2020. So last Friday, I flew down to San Diego with my purpose to document this effort and report on it and to allow the public more awareness of the plight of Anand Jon Alexander in particular, and those who are wrongly convicted in general. The record seems to show that he received a patently unfair trial and, based on what the previously withheld exculpatory evidence shows, he may well be factually innocent. As Jeffrey Deskovic, himself an exoneree and head of the Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation, told the Vanguard, “Anand Jon’s case is fraught with prosecutorial misconduct and bad lawyering. It is no wonder he was wrongfully convicted.” Frankly, Mr. Alexander, despite his predicament, is rather fortunate. After the disastrous Los Angeles trial in 2008-2009, at which point he was bankrupt and was deemed “indigent,” he made a remarkable comeback. He was able to get a strong grasp of the applicable law, gather resources, and assemble a strong team of supporters to successfully resolve his overlapping out-of-state cases in New York and Texas (2013-2018). This has now allowed him to steadily progress at the Federal District Court level to overturn his California convictions.
