Friends of KGWS - please join me in congratulating Vishal Garg and Abby Mason on their jury trial win today in State v. Osafa Williams. Mr. Williams, who has graciously given us permission to talk about his case in order to spread his good news, was wrongfully accused of murder and has been in prison since 2019 awaiting justice. Today was that day. Vishal and Abby worked tirelessly to get to this outcome. I am certain Mr. Williams is grateful for their efforts, as are we all. Bravo Zulu, as an old mentor used to say to me (Jess).

Sometimes in life, we are lucky enough to encounter people that become indispensable to us, whether personally or professionally. Amy Clark is that to us - personally and professionally. She is our backbone, our compass, our comedic interlude and our friend. But now, she’s also going to be a mom! Please join us in congratulating Amy as she prepares for this next phase in her life. We will reluctantly (kidding, of course) allow her to take leave of us when our newest family member graces us with their presence! Best wishes Amy!!
