The Truth

Obviously the other comments are by someone either prosecuted or a family member of someone prosecuted by Ms. Nishita. What absolute lies! She is an excellent attorney and prosecutor. She is the MOST ethical and honest prosecutor in the DA's Office,

Subornation of Perjury, Outright Dishonesty and Much More

When I think of Karen and those people who've been abused by her and not able to stand to her, I feel very sad. She is one unethical and abusive lawyer under the color of law, who goes as far as covering up for the criminals. She falsely prosecuted me as a courtesy for the real criminals she was cove...ring up for. While I was on the witness stand, she verbally abused me and on occasions lied and falsified evidence in order to obtain a false conviction and much more. She went as far as persuading the jury to convict me because I complained about discrimination. It's unfortunate that people like Karen are allowed to practice law and abuse members of society. I'm fortunate in that I was able to stand up to her in a very strong way and will continue to do so in the future to make sure that she does not walk around thinking black people are beneath her, when the truth maybe the other way around.
