Christopher Leon Johnson supports Intro 1104 and suggests raising age to 24
Christopher Leon Johnson says he supports Intro 1104 and is surprised Legal Aid opposed it. He argues the bill should be amended to cover ages 18 to 24, saying young adults need to know their rights and that Legal Aid benefits from people taking plea deals.
And so we're still doing it.
You know, thank you for that, Mr.
Hayward, in terms of giving us this historical perspective.
The work that you have done.
I appreciate that.
I am very appreciative of your time.
And you're still giving to us as a community.
And I was taking note a little bit because whatever that we do, if it works, we don't have to reinvent the wheel.
So make it work for our children.
So thank you, sir.
Yes.
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Thank you both.
This panel is now dismissed.
We will now turn to virtual panelists.
For virtual panelists, once your name is called, a member of our staff will unmute you and the sergeant at arms will set the timer and give you the go ahead to begin.
Please wait for the sergeant to announce that you may begin before delivering your testimony.
Now I will call the first virtual panelist.
Joanne Ojeda.
Time starts now.
Joanne Ojeda.
All right, we're going to move on.
Christopher.
I'm sorry, I was unable to mute.
I was just allowed to mute.
This is my first time in one of these meetings.
I really didn't come prepared with a testimony, so I'm going to yield to someone else.
I just wanted to hear what the meeting was about.
I'm from 1199, the acting vice president of the area.
Well, do you have it?
No problem.
But and welcome to your first hearing.
Do you do you have any like comments on today's hearing or thoughts in terms of the topic that we discussed today?
No, I'd like to be invited to more and listen to more.
A lot of the people that I did speak were really great and inspirational and a lot of good information.
And I'd like to participate next time, so I'd like to be better prepared.
So I'm just absorbing for today.
Well, thank you and welcome.
Thank you.
Next, we'll pivot to Christopher Leon Johnson.
