Published: 12/20/2020 1:41:43 PM Julian Jefferson, a staff attorney in the New Hampshire Public Defender’s office, has represented victims of racism and experienced it firsthand. “I am a black man,” he said in his testimony before the Commission on Law Enforcement Accountability, Community and Transparency. “I have lived in New Hampshire since 2008. I have been working in the criminal justice system since 2011. I can tell you that racism exists in this state and in our criminal justice system.” Jefferson, who also served on the commission, described a litany of racially charged personal experiences and client prosecutions he’s had to defend.
