His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"agarces":{"type":"authors","id":"11367","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"11367","found":true},"name":"Audrey Garces","firstName":"Audrey","lastName":"Garces","slug":"agarces","email":"agarces@kqed.org","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"Digital Producer","bio":"Audrey is a former digital producer at KQED News.

Levin, in a dark suit, sat between them and the judge like a shield, with a rolling bin full of legal papers on the floor next to him. To his left, at the prosecutor’s table, sat Pinza in a crisp suit of light gray. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pinza, who had elected to represent himself, argued that his plans to renovate the apartments \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">—\u003c/span> which included adjustments to the plumbing and electrical systems and installing new stoves, dishwashers and ceiling fans \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">—\u003c/span> were extensive. He said his expert witnesses would demonstrate that the scale of these renovations did justify evicting Benakli and her neighbors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='small' citation='Judge Danielle Douglas, Contra Costa County Superior Court']‘Mr. Pinza. Mr. Pinza. Let the witness answer the question.’[/pullquote]Levin said his expert witnesses would show that Pinza’s plans for the apartments were minor and would not have required the tenants to move out. There was an ulterior motive at work, he argued: Kicking out Benakli and her neighbors would allow Pinza to raise the rent for their units substantially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pinza interrupted the witnesses frequently, prompting Judge Douglas to step in and reprimand him for breaking courtroom rules.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It’s just the bathroom,” Benakli said, in answer to a question from Pinza. “The floor is popping out a little bit.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pinza interrupted: “Oh, so there is damage to the bathroom.

They were leaning over the railing on the top floor of the parking lot. Dahbia was smoking a cigarette — she said she’d just started smoking again. They didn’t seem worried. Not that they were confident, simply resigned to whatever was going to happen.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The next afternoon, Pinza gave a defiant closing statement, reiterating that his expert witness had done “thousands of remodels.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“So who do you believe?” Pinza asked the jury. “[Levin’s] guy?

He’s done as much construction work as I have, and that’s not a lot.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Levin spoke next, using his time to focus on the key question. “This whole case comes down to the time that a substantial remodel will take,” he said. “So now it’s your job to figure out where this line is in this case, based on the law and the facts.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After two hours of jury deliberation, Judge Douglas called everyone back into the courtroom.

She packed what she could, grabbed her two daughters, and left for a motel in Walnut Creek. She tried to disguise the move for the kids, offering them Starbucks for breakfast as a special treat, but she knew they could tell something was wrong.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I was asking myself questions,” she said. “Am I a good mom? Am I a good person? What did I do wrong?”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They were at the motel for three days. Benakli spent the entire time trying to figure out what to do next.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Eventually she got in touch with a friend of a friend who had already applied for a lease and needed a roommate, meaning Benakli didn’t have to worry about the eviction on her record.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She was nervous about the thought of moving her family in with some strange man she didn’t know. But she didn’t have much of a choice.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Two weeks after Benakli had left her apartment in the dead of night, she and her daughters moved into their new unit, and slowly, a bit of their stress faded.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It’s just like we’re right back home,” Benakli said. And on top of that, their new roommate was kind and caring.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She knows the repercussions of the case — the “scarlet E” on her record and the money Pinza was asking for — are going to follow her for a long time, although her attorney says the real amount she will have to pay is still uncertain.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Benakli has lost a lot of faith in the court and other government institutions.

She packed what she could, grabbed her two daughters, and left for a motel in Walnut Creek. She tried to disguise the move for the kids, offering them Starbucks for breakfast as a special treat, but she knew they could tell something was wrong.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I was asking myself questions,” she said. “Am I a good mom? Am I a good person? What did I do wrong?”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">They were at the motel for three days. Benakli spent the entire time trying to figure out what to do next.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Eventually she got in touch with a friend of a friend who had already applied for a lease and needed a roommate, meaning Benakli didn’t have to worry about the eviction on her record.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She was nervous about the thought of moving her family in with some strange man she didn’t know.

And on top of that, their new roommate was kind and caring.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">She knows the repercussions of the case — the “scarlet E” on her record and the money Pinza was asking for — are going to follow her for a long time, although her attorney says the real amount she will have to pay is still uncertain.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Benakli has lost a lot of faith in the court and other government institutions.
