FJP Statement on Appeals Court Ruling in Favor of Diana Teran

July 2, 2025 (Los Angeles, CA) — Last Thursday, a California appeals court ordered the dismissal of the Attorney General’s case against former Assistant District Attorney Diana Teran. Ms. Teran was charged with sharing confidential police misconduct records with another prosecutor at the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office, despite the fact that the records were publicly accessible documents.

Fair and Just Prosecution’s Executive Director Aramis Ayala had the following statement:

“Today’s decision is a victory not only for Ms. Teran, but for prosecutors everywhere who take seriously their responsibilities to their communities to disclose evidence of police misconduct. The prosecution against Ms. Teran was deeply flawed, and it was an attempt to intimidate public servants in our district attorney offices, dangerously chilling them from carrying out their ethical and Constitutional duties.”

New FJP Issue Brief Warns of Risks with AI-Generated Police Reports

June 24, 2025 – As police departments across the country begin experimenting with artificial intelligence (AI) to draft official reports, a new issue brief from Fair and Just Prosecution (FJP) warns that these tools pose serious threats to accuracy, due process, and public trust in the justice system.

“Prosecutors rely on police reports to make life-altering decisions — and that means we can’t afford errors, bias, or fiction masquerading as fact,” said FJP Executive Director Aramis Ayala. “When AI language models generate false narratives, real people pay the price. AI-generated reports have already included officers who were not present, misattributed actions, and warped evidence. The stakes are too high to treat this like just another tech upgrade. We owe it to our communities to pause, scrutinize, and demand transparency before this tech is allowed anywhere near the courtroom.”
