L.A. County Public Defender Noah Cox noticed the disturbing trend. Many of his clients seemed to struggle answering even the most basic questions about the crimes they'd been charged with, questions like, "Where were you that day?" It seemed, Cox said, "like they were having troubles related to some sort of intellectual ability." But when he dug into their records, Cox could see that while many had committed serious crimes, most had never been identified as disabled or offered resources to help with cognitive impairments. So Cox set about to change that. He helped create a new unit in the Los Angeles Public Defender's Office dedicated to representing people with cognitive disorders.
