Diaz, which went to the California Supreme Court and made law on the ability of police to search a cell phone, [11] Louis Gonzalez, who was falsely accused of rape, attampted murder and torture by the mother of his child [12] and was jailed for 83 days before he was released and ultimately found factually innocent, [13] the first-ever trial of medical marijuana defendants in San Luis Obispo County, California County, [14] and Ventura County, California's first concentrated Mexican Mafia prosecution.
