----------- In 1999 I was subjected to police malicious prosecution and abuse, as a result of two Marin County District Attorneys filing criminal charges against me for sending an email complaining of the child murders a Novato city council member at the time was engaging in. The City council person’s name is Carol Dillon-Knutson. The two district attorneys are, Linda M. Witong and Paula Freschi Kamena. -------

The Novato police broke my door down and I was arrested without a warrant. The charges were later dismissed because I refused to plea bargain with them.
