For the last year, I have immersed myself in learning about the criminal justice system. I visited prisons, met with formerly incarcerated people, and helped with cases of individual injustice – including two death penalty cases. I have met with and am very supportive of Governor Newsom and his decision to help bring an end to the California Death Penalty. Racial bias and unfairness run deep throughout the justice system but especially when it comes to the death penalty. And we should not be okay with the risk that an innocent person could be executed. I hope we can turn toward better solutions that focus more on healing victims of trauma and prioritizing fairness and justice.

Kim registered with the California State Bar which is the official attorney licensing agency. After speaking about her studies Kim faced lots of criticism.

In response, Kim said: “I’ve seen some comments from people who are saying it’s my privilege or my money that got me here, but that’s not the case. One person actually said I should ‘stay in my lane’.

“I want people to understand that there is nothing that should limit your pursuit of your dreams, and the accomplishment of new goals. You can create your own lanes, just as I am.”

Last year, Kim personally influenced Donald Trump to grant mercy to a 63-year-old Alice Marie Johnson who was serving a life sentence for the first time for a non-violent drug offence. In June, US President Trump removed the sentence.

In the past three months Kim has helped 17 prisoners, she is involved in a campaign called 90 Days of Freedom.

Last week, Kim tweeted to say she had successfully helped secure the release of another low-level drugs offender from prison. Kim wrote: “We did it again! Had the best call w/this lovely family & my attorney @msbkb who just won release for their loved one Jeffrey in Miami – he served 22 years of life sentence for low level drug case. He served too much time but it gives me so much joy to fund this life saving work.”
