The documents show there may be little scientific merit to claims that injection wells are a safe means of disposal.
“We really do not know what happens to the waste down there. We just hope," an EPA official admitted in 1971.

we can spend a billion dollars on adding a new lane that won't fix congestion but we can't spend a million dollars on making it safe to walk outside, to improve public transportation, or to build bike lanes, all of which are cheaper than roads.
Project to add a lane, making a safer 5 Freeway between 405 and 55, gets underway
The $715 million project will be funded by Measure M, the half-cent sales tax collected in Orange County for transportation projects, and state and federal contributions.

100%. Ask yourself if you'd want your future on the line with an attorney with 61 other cases with similar stakes. The fact that SF public defender is not giving in to the overwhelming pressure to settle is a credit to their commitment to their constitutional duties.
“Refusing to settle cases” means defending clients who have a good case rather than encouraging them to take a quick plea bargain, which saves department resources but is often not the best outcome for the client. The solution here is to hire more public defenders, not harass them.
