.@stlcopa Seeks to Vacate Death Penalty Conviction of Marcellus Williams. Citing crime scene DNA that belonged to someone else, Wesley Bell asked a Missouri court to consider evidence of Williams’s innocence. theintercept.com/2024/01/29/… @theintercept @chronic_jordan @MADPMO @The_MIP

Alabama strapped a gas mask on Kenneth Smith last week & started suffocating him w/ nitrogen gas. He was thrashing & writhing for four minutes. He didn’t die for nearly 10 minutes. Prolonged terrifying incomprehensible torture.
Ohio saw it & said: "Now we want to do that too."

NEW: While the Mayor says there's no solitary confinement, Tamara's son Brandon died in solitary in a shower cage. Now City Council must end it.
“I couldn’t save my son’s life but if I can help save another person’s life, that is so important to me.”

Los Angeles DA George Gascón struck what has long been a third rail in reform debates, even among people who agree that mass incarceration is a problem: questioning very lengthy sentences for people who commit violent crimes. boltsmag.org/los-angeles-da-…

"Public confidence in the justice system is restored, not undermined, when a prosecutor is accountable for a wrongful or constitutionally infirm conviction,” StL Co prosecutor Wesley Bell wrote in a motion seeking to vacate Marcellus Williams' conviction

Last week survivors of human trafficking gifted DA Price a beautiful quilt that represents their vision for a better future. They were clear — DA Price stands with them, not with perpetrators of violence as the recall campaign tries to convince us.

"Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price is indeed charging cases that come to her with the proper evidence and policing protocols followed."

In the last few days recall proponents have received over $2OOK in donations. We are calling on all of our supporters to donate to the "Protect The Win" Campaign to ensure we keep the peoples DA Pamela Price in office.

Believe it or not, Los Angeles was one of the counties that sentenced the most people to death in the nation until 2020.
The new DA hasn't sought the death penalty since, and has gotten 29 people on death row resentenced. boltsmag.org/los-angeles-da-…

“I wanted to make sure that this was not going to be just a bunch of political promises,” Los Angeles DA George Gascón said of his reforms. On his first day in office, he announced a suite of policies that upended the status quo. boltsmag.org/los-angeles-da-…
Real Justice retweeted
Los Angeles' DA Gascon unveiled blanket policies to not seek some sentences (LWOP, death).
That approach tripped up past reformers (think Dukakis in 1988), but Gascon gambled times have changed.
@PiperSFrench looks at whether they have. Big new piece: boltsmag.org/los-angeles-da-…
Real Justice retweeted
Just like in Los Angeles, the Alameda County Prosecutors Association has been leading the charge to undermine DA Price’s administration & the will of the people from Day 1.

More tech and real estate money being funneled into this undemocratic recall which will cost Alameda County taxpayers $20M.
We need to send a clear message to the world that Alameda County is not for sale to the highest bidder!

Supporters of Recall Pamela Price, aka Reviving the Bay Area, the Recall's 2nd finance arm designed to hide affluent funders for as long as possible, just gave Recall $125K and also late reported several big contributions this month. If correct, the Price Recall surpasses $1 MM.

It was an absolute honor to participate in FIU’s Speaker Series with Black Women in the Law! It was an honor to join Prosecutorial Policy Director Melba Pearson as she moderated our conversation on prosecution and the future of criminal justice reform.

Our campaign raised $49,320 in Q4 from 248 donors.
That's an $198 per donor.
The other side average per donor exceeds $5,000.
We're up against millionaires who care more about property values than they do public safety.
