HANFORD, CA - NOVEMBER 16, 2020 - Tina Perez holds a photo of her daughter Adora Perez in Hanford, California on November 16, 2020. Adora has been in prison for nearly three years after she gave birth to a stillborn baby and prosecutors charged her with murder, alleging her meth use was to blame. Perez took a deal in which she pleaded no contest to involuntary manslaughter and was sentenced to 11 years because she thought it was the only way to avoid a potential life sentence. The ACLU has launched a new push to free her, saying ineffective legal counsel led to the verdict because her lawyer overlooked serious flaws in her case and never told her that her conduct might not be a crime in California. That's despite the fact Perez paid the woman $15,000 to represent her, according to her family. A pro bono lawyer retained by the ACLU has now filed a legal motion seeking to have an appeal of her case reopened. (Genaro Molina / Los Angeles Times)
