Public commenter alleges misconduct in criminal case, says she will return with evidence
Summary
During public appearances, Addie Smith accused several defense attorneys of inadequate representation in her self‑defense case (case no. 9Z0930066) and alleged that Judge Gregory committed perjury; she said she will return to the council with documentation. The remarks were delivered during the public comment period and did not prompt council action.
Addie Smith used the council's public appearances period to raise allegations about representation she received in a criminal matter she said arose from defending herself from an attack (case number 9Z0930066). Smith named multiple attorneys and said she believes they failed to provide discovery or otherwise represent her adequately. She said one attorney's father referred to the prosecutor as a "Nazi," and she accused a named judge of committing perjury; Smith said she will return with documents at a future meeting.
The council did not respond with action; the public comment period is not a forum for adjudicating individual disputes. Remarks made during appearances are recorded as part of the meeting minutes. City staff did not provide a response on behalf of the court or legal counsel during the meeting.
Because these are allegations made during public comment, they are reported here as claims by the commenter; they were not substantiated or addressed, on the record, by the judge or city staff at the meeting.
