San Francisco Bay Area Criminal Defense Attorney Kenneth Rosenfeld
For cases such as this where people like my client are suffering from mental health issues, criminal charges and punishments are not appropriate. It is very gratifying to see my client instead get the help he very much needs.
RIVERSIDE COUNTY, Calif. (PRWEB)
March 21, 2023
The Rosenfeld Law Firm announces that a mental health client facing potential prison time after receiving multiple criminal charges (Case #s: INF21015578 and INM2104596) will receive mental health treatment rather than be tried and sentenced, thanks to California Mental Health Attorney Ken Rosenfeld.
According to the September 7, 2021, criminal complaint and the September 10, 2021, criminal complaint filed with the Riverside County Superior Court, Reizo S. was alleged on or about July 3, 2021, to have committed the misdemeanor of public intoxication (PC § 647f), and on or about September 7, 2021, to have committed the felony of making criminal threats that could result in great bodily injury (PC § 422).
Pursuant to PC § 647f, a conviction of misdemeanor public intoxication carries a punishment of up to 6 months in jail and a fine of up to $1000; a felony conviction of PC § 422 carries the penalties of up to three years in state prison, a fine of up to $10,000, formal probation, and a strike under the California “three strikes” law. Rosenfeld successfully argued that R.S. suffers from mental illness and should thereby receive treatment rather than punishment. As a result of Rosenfeld’s efforts, mental health diversion was granted for R.S. on December 7, 2022, and a treatment plan was subsequently approved thereafter in 2023.
“For cases such as this where people like my client are suffering from mental health issues, criminal charges and punishments are not appropriate,” said Rosenfeld. “It is very gratifying to see my client instead get the help he very much needs.”

My thoughts have been constantly invaded by the images and sounds of my daughter’s suffering.
SAN FRANCISCO (PRWEB)
March 06, 2023
Roberts Disability Law, P.C., attorneys representing the father of a slain Sacramento Police Officer announced today that they are suing Lincoln National Life Insurance Company after it allegedly refused to fulfill the obligations of Denis O’Sullivan’s disability insurance policy in the wake of his daughter’s murder.
According to Court documents, Denis O’Sullivan filed suit in the federal district court of the Northern District of California, stating he has been unable to work and suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) since his daughter was shot and killed in June of 2019. As a result, the O’Sullivan family has lost health insurance benefits and faces foreclosure of their home, despite having disability benefit coverage under a group-policy issued by Lincoln to Mr. O’Sullivan’s former employer—a policy that is supposed to compensate him if he cannot do his job.
The Complaint alleges that Denis O’Sullivan has been diagnosed with PTSD and MDD by no less than four different medical professionals in the days and years since his daughter’s murder. Mr. O’Sullivan alleges that the ongoing murder trial for his daughter has required that he review evidence to be presented at trial that forces him “to experience the event all over again.” Court documents further allege that the experience left him with multiple symptoms, including: recurrent nightmares, extreme anxiety, panic attacks, depression, flashbacks, visual hallucination, overwhelming guilt, negative thoughts and affect, disrupted sleep and insomnia, hypervigilance, heightened startle reflex, agitation and irritability, difficulty concentrating, lack of focus, loss of short-term memory, lack of motivation, feelings of detachment, physical and emotional reactivity after exposure to traumatic reminders, decreased interest in activities, withdrawal and isolation, all of which made it impossible to do his job. As a result, he has had essentially no income since 2019 and the family home may lose their home.
Court documents allege that Denis O’Sullivan had Lincoln disability insurance through his employer, which was supposed to protect him if he is deemed physically, mentally, or emotionally unable to work by medical professionals. Rather than pay Mr. O’Sullivan the contractual long-term disability benefits, Mr. O’Sullivan alleges that Lincoln denied the claim in reliance on medical reviewers who opined that he was not disabled. Mr. O’Sullivan alleges that these reviewers did not meet or speak to him when they rendered their conclusions.
“Since the moment I learned of Tara’s murder, my life has been turned upside down,” said Denis O’Sullivan. “My thoughts have been constantly invaded by the images and sounds of my daughter’s suffering.”
On March 6, 2023, Roberts Disability Law, P.C. filed Mr. O’Sullivan’s Complaint in the federal district court of the Northern District of California, Case No. 3:23-cv-01000. The suit alleges a claim for benefits under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) and seeks to enforce the terms of the group disability policy and to cover legal costs associated with filing the suit.

“Society needs our justice system to define ‘consent’ correctly, turning ‘consent as a human right,’ into ‘consent as a civil right,’ backed by law!” Joyce Short, Author: “Your Consent – The Key to Conquering Sexual Assault”
NEW YORK (PRWEB)
December 27, 2022
“Prosecutors don’t go into a courtroom intending to lose. But they can’t reliably win when the state’s laws fail to back them up,” says Joyce Short, CEO of the Consent Awareness Network (CAN). “California bases consent on ‘positive cooperation’ by the victim, not ‘malicious influence’ by the accused. In other crimes, ‘’malicious influence’ determines guilt or innocence,” Short says.
CAN tackles the legislative flaws that create victim-blaming and shaming. Their efforts have been instrumental in introducing consent bills in NY State and passing a military amendment in the US House of Representatives. The consent definition repeated throughout its work is: “Consent is a freely given, knowledgeable and informed agreement, by a person with the capacity to reason, #FGKIA.” Short emphasizes that defining consent correctly in California’s laws is the key to holding sexual predators accountable.
Miriam Haley and Jessica Mann, key witnesses in New York’s case against Harvey Weinstein, support CAN’s efforts. “Using malicious influence to secure compliance should not be mistaken as consent,” says Mann.
Paula Williams, a Weinstein Silence Breaker says, “We need to make it clear that seeking a mentor, advice, or even networking in your field, should never be confused with ‘consent.’”
“Inept consent laws result in hung juries,” says Short. She states that the back-to-back hung juries in the Weinstein and Danny Masterson cases show poor guidance on consent in California’s laws. Weinstein’s defense called a key witness a “bimbo” and demanded that she fake an orgasm on the stand. “Neither of these offensive attacks against the witness had anything to do with whether Weinstein used malicious influence against her,” Short says.
Stacey Pinkerton, Bill Cosby Survivor and advocate for laws to fight against coercive control says, “Consent is never possible when ‘No” is not an option.”
Judge Rosemarie Aquilina, the presiding judge in the Larry Nassar/USA Gymnastics Case says, “The legislature, and the supreme court need clear definitions of consent, both in the law and in the jury instructions. Without it, investigations are not completed, indictments are not made, and jury trials are lost – not because someone is innocent but because consent is not clearly defined. Once consent is clearly defined, the innocent, will stay free, the guilty will be convicted, and there will be fewer victims and less re-victimization.”
“Society needs our justice system to define ‘consent’ correctly, turning ‘consent as a human right,’ into ‘consent as a civil right,’ backed by law!” Short says. Her words are supported by:

California Criminal Defense Attorney Ken Rosenfeld Secures Another Win
“My client was looking at life in prison without parole. Not having been convicted is obviously a positive result for him and a win for the firm. At least 11 of the jurors did not believe the testimony of the eyewitness that my client was guilty.”
STOCKTON, Calif. (PRWEB)
December 23, 2022
The Rosenfeld Law Firm announces that Case # CR-2020-4237726 involving a juvenile charged in the shooting death of a Lodi liquor store clerk, has been declared a mistrial by the San Joaquin County Superior Court and has not resulted in a conviction for the client of California Criminal Defense Attorney Ken Rosenfeld.
According to a December 10, 2020, ABC10 news article, Rosenfeld’s client, a Stockton resident who was then 17 years of age, was arrested as a fourth suspect in connection with the November 13, 2020, murder of Gurminder Singh Parmar, a liquor store clerk, at Tokay Liquors in Lodi. Charged with murder and robbery, Rosenfeld’s client was held at San Joaquin Juvenile Hall until the time of his trial.
As per court documents filed with San Joaquin County Superior Court, both eyewitness testimony and video evidence were used against Rosenfeld’s client in court; nevertheless, after six weeks of deliberation, the jury came back with an 11-1 vote in favor of a not guilty verdict. As a result of the hung jury, a mistrial was declared.
“My client was looking at life in prison without parole,” said Rosenfeld. “Not having been convicted is obviously a positive result for him and a win for the firm. It appears at least 11 of the jurors did not believe the testimony of the eyewitness that my client was guilty.”
