People vs. Reporter Susan Bassi - Jeff Rosen Santa Clara County District Attorney - Judge Patricia Lucas Santa Clara County Superior Court - Dmitry Stadlin Defense Attorney

In this civil rights case, journalist and publisher Susan Bassi is charged with attempting to record with her smart phone a police misconduct incident in a public, common area of the Santa Clara County Family Justice Center Courthouse. Court watchdogs allege that Bassi is being selectively prosecuted because of her past and ongoing reporting on Silicon Valley court problems. Presiding Judge Patricia Lucas issued an irregular "standing order" prohibiting photos in and around courthouses.
