Sally 'Gwen' Leiber

Only a cynic would suggest that Assembywoman Sally Leiber, D.-Mountain View, has issues with panic reactions to dates. Her legislation dealing with unacceptable strategies defense lawyers can use to represent their clients seems to have struck a chord. Leiber would not want someone charged with a crime to claim that they attacked out of panic when they learned about their date's 'diversity'. Defendants in the murder of Eddie 'Gwen' Arauyo Jr. used the panic defense to no avail. This might also suggest that defense lawyers were not particularly big contributors to her election.
