Massachusetts governor proposes mass pardon of thousands of misdemeanor simple cannabis possession convictions. It’s the right thing to do. Criminal convictions often carry collateral consequences that can negatively affect people’s lives for years. www.wbur.org/news/2024/03...
Healey's pardon forgives all state court misdemeanor convictions for possession of marijuana before March 13, 2024. It does not apply to charges of distribution, trafficking, or operating a motor vehi...
Our criminal justice system has failings that boggle the minds of thinking, rational people. The death penalty is the worst. In addition to its barbarity, it permanently silences claims of innocence. And we know that innocents have been executed in the U.S. apnews.com/article/texa...
A Texas inmate who has long said he’s innocent faces execution Wednesday for fatally shooting two people.
Legislation introduced in Ohio and supported by its AG would restart executions using nitrogen hypoxia — smothering people to death — copying Alabama’s horrific recent execution. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
Ohio's Republican Attorney General Dave Yost wants to restart executions, but this time with nitrogen hypoxia, the same method Alabama used.
Just because the Supreme Court has ruled that Alabama may proceed with a nitrogen gas execution doesn't make the decision correct. Effectively death by smothering, nitrogen gas execution is an ethical and legal abomination. www.politico.com/news/2024/01...
Alabama plans to put a face mask on 58-year-old Kenneth Eugene Smith and replace the air he is breathing with nitrogen to cause oxygen deprivation.
No evidence linking him to a murder except shifting testimony of a jailhouse informant who stood to benefit. DNA evidence links someone else. So why is Missouri fast tracking Marcellus Williams' execution? #deathpenalty#criminaljusticetheintercept.com/2024/01/14/m...
Gov. Mike Parson dissolved a panel that was reinvestigating the case of Marcellus Williams before it could report its findings.
A judge has granted Alabama permission to perform a nitrogen gas execution. Let's be honest, this is suffocating the man to death and pure barbarism. It has no place in a true justice system. #deathpenalty#criminaljusticewww.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
Alabama plans to put a respirator-type face mask over Kenneth Eugene Smith's nose and mouth to replace breathable air with nitrogen.
Federal prisons are a mess, shortstaffed and posing a danger to those employed AND incarcerated there. Yet programs to ease crowding are ending, just when it is clear that they should be expanded. #criminaljustice#prisonswww.themarshallproject.org/2024/01/06/f...
The Bureau of Prisons’ system is in trouble and needs serious upgrades on several fronts.
Just a handful of mostly southern states still execute people in the U.S., running counter to prevailing public opinion. But they’re also inventing new ways to kill people and bring back old ones. It’s a pox on our justice system. #criminaljustice#deathpenaltywww.theguardian.com/world/2024/j...
Half of Americans call capital punishment unfair but a handful of states are pressing ahead using novel methods and secrecy
Exonerated after 42 years in prison just in time for Christmas. It is beyond tragedy that we deprive the innocent of liberty for so long before correcting our errors. #criminaljustice#wrongfulconvictionwww.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...
James Soto, 62, and David Ayala, 60 were wrongfully convicted in two 1981 murders and were expected to be released on Thursday.
