Suspect #10: ANAHITA SEDAGHATFAR #217289 (The Vernon Patterson Dossier)

 

Role and Reasonable Suspicion
Anahita Sedaghatfar, a licensed California attorney (Bar #217289) and legal contributor frequently associated with The Cochran Firm, is named Suspect #10 in the Dossier for her unanswered fiduciary duty to act upon constructive knowledge of constitutional violations and proven fraud upon the court involving public officials and judicial agents within the California criminal justice system.

As a Southwestern Law School graduate, Sedaghatfar belongs to an alumni network with extensive representation in Los Angeles County’s legal and prosecutorial institutions—many of whom are named in the Dossier as active participants in or facilitators of due process violations against the Defendant. This connection, combined with her strategic silence after becoming aware of the misconduct, triggers a legitimate concern of intra-institutional loyalty and conflicted disinterest.

Circumstantial Factors and Institutional Relevance

1. Mandatory Reporting Duties Breached
As an officer of the court, Sedaghatfar is subject to California Rules of Professional Conduct, including the duty to report knowledge of substantial legal violations by other attorneys or public officials. Her failure to raise concern, initiate review, or direct referral—especially given the scale of constitutional injury alleged—marks a dereliction of duty.

2. Refusal to Intervene Despite Knowledge
The Cochran Firm, with a legacy of representing clients in civil rights and police misconduct cases, declined involvement despite being given direct and detailed notice of unlawful court orders, false psychiatric findings, and obstructed access to counsel. Sedaghatfar, a visible figure at the firm, took no remedial action, casting doubt on the integrity of her discretionary silence.

3. Alumni Affiliation and Cultural Complicity
Her alumni affiliation with Southwestern Law School, whose graduates dominate LA’s public defense, prosecution, and judiciary, raises reasonable suspicion that Sedaghatfar’s inaction is more than mere oversight—it may reflect a gatekeeping function consistent with undisclosed conflicts of interest.

4. Pattern of Private Bar Complicity
As with other private law firms named in the Dossier, The Cochran Firm’s unwillingness to confront clear, documented injustices—especially under the banner of civil rights—suggests a broader pattern of selective advocacy that prioritizes institutional harmony over constitutional duty.

Key Affiliations

• Attorney at The Cochran Firm (Los Angeles)
• Legal Commentator and Media Analyst
• Graduate of Southwestern Law School
• California Bar Member since 2001

Institutional Implication Theory
Anahita Sedaghatfar’s position is emblematic of a professional class within the legal community that appears either unwilling or unable to oppose systemic misconduct when it implicates judges, bar members, or public defenders with shared institutional pedigree. Her proximity to a firm known for its civil rights mission renders her silence all the more conspicuous—and potentially strategic.

The totality of facts suggests she either:
Knows of internal constraints barring the firm’s involvement, or
Chose to uphold institutional loyalty over the moral and statutory obligations of a practicing attorney in California.

> “The silence of one sworn to speak becomes the loudest voice of betrayal.”

Final Position
Anahita Sedaghatfar is listed as Suspect #10 in the Dossier based on her legal stature, strategic affiliations, and her failure to act upon credible disclosures of judicial misconduct and constitutional harm. Her name signifies the culpability of silence—especially among attorneys positioned to intervene yet opting for institutional discretion over ethical obligation.
