White Cop Guilty of Manslaughter after Murdering Atatiana Jefferson. Shot Black Woman as She Played Video Games w/Her 8 yr Old Nephew in Her Home. Liar Cop Gave No First Aid. What Will White Judge Do?

From [HERE] A white Texas police officer was convicted of manslaughter Thursday for fatally shooting Atatiana Jefferson through a rear window of her home in 2019, a rare conviction of an officer for killing someone who was also armed with a gun. 

Jurors were also considering a murder charge against Aaron Dean but instead convicted him of manslaughter. The conviction comes more than three years after the white Fort Worth officer shot the 28-year-old Black woman while responding to a call about an open front door. 

Mr. Dean, 38, faces up to 20 years in prison on the manslaughter conviction. The sentencing phase of his trial is set to begin Friday before Judge George Gallagher, who is also a white man. Mr. Dean had faced up to life in prison if convicted of murder. 

The Tarrant County jury deliberated for more than 13 hours over two days before returning the verdict. The primary dispute during the six days of testimony and arguments was whether Mr. Dean knew Ms. Jefferson was armed when he shot her. Mr. Dean testified that he saw her weapon. Prosecutors alleged the evidence showed otherwise. The jury apparently did not find him to be credible.

Lesa Pamplin, a lawyer and friend of the Jefferson family, said she was glad that jurors took their time. 

Many of those who came to watch the verdict condemned the jury's decision. Carolyn J. Ruff traveled from Chicago to hear the verdict, she said. She went out into the hallway of the courthouse and shouted: "She was murdered. She was murdered.” [MORE]

Trice Jones was a fixture at Fort Worth's racial justice protests in 2020, and she crowdfunded an effort to paint a mural to memorialize Jefferson near the home where Jefferson lived and died. Progress is not moving fast enough, she told reporters at the courthouse.

"Black people are not safe in Fort Worth," Jones said. "Black people are not safe."

Mr. Dean shot Ms. Jefferson on Oct. 12, 2019, after a neighbor called a nonemergency police line to report that the front door to Ms. Jefferson’s home was open. She had been playing videogames that night with her nephew, and it emerged at trial that they left the doors open to vent smoke from hamburgers the boy burned. 

The case was unusual for the relative speed with which, amid public outrage, the Fort Worth Police Department released video of the shooting and arrested Mr. Dean. He had completed the police academy the year before and quit the force without speaking to investigators. 

Since then, the case had been repeatedly postponed amid lawyerly wrangling, the terminal illness of Mr. Dean’s lead attorney and the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Police body camera footage showed that Mr. Dean and a second officer who responded to the call didn’t identify themselves as police at the house. Mr. Dean and Officer Carol Darchtestified that they thought the house might have been burglarized and quietly moved into the fenced-off backyard looking for signs of forced entry. 

There, Mr. Dean, whose gun was drawn, fired a single shot through the window a split-second after shouting at Ms. Jefferson, who was inside, to show her hands. 

Mr. Dean testified that he had no choice but to shoot when he saw Ms. Jefferson pointing the barrel of a gun directly at him. But under questioning from prosecutors he acknowledged numerous errors, repeatedly conceding that actions he took before and after the shooting were “more bad police work.” 

Ms. Darch’s back was to the window when Mr. Dean shot, but she testified that he never mentioned seeing a gun before he pulled the trigger and didn’t say anything about the weapon as they rushed in to search the house. 

Mr. Dean acknowledged on the witness stand that he only said something about the gun after seeing it on the floor inside the house and that he never gave Ms. Jefferson first aid. 

Ms. Jefferson’s 8-year-old nephew, Zion Carr, was in the room with his aunt when she was shot. Zion testified that Ms. Jefferson took out her gun believing there was an intruder in the backyard, but he offered contradictory accounts of whether she pointed the pistol out the window. 

Although Detroit is Surrounded by Water, Inhumane [Liberal] Authorities Make it Scarce for Black, Poor Residents; Civil Rights Groups Seek to Stop the City from Using Water Shut-Offs to Collect Debts

From [HERE] A group of civil rights organizations are urging the city of Detroit not to disconnect Detroiters from water after a moratorium on residential water shutoffs ends this year, and they took their request to federal court.

The coalition — including the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan (ACLU), Legal Defense Fund and Michigan Poverty Law Program — filed a motion Monday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan on behalf of plaintiffs who are part of an ongoing 2020 lawsuit that says water shutoffs have, for years, harmed residents and calls for a long-term solution to the problem.

They want the court to enter a preliminary injunction that would prohibit the city from stopping water service for debt collection over unpaid water bills, according to the court filing. They say that although the city created a water affordability program earlier this year, some residents have not been able to enroll and don't know whether they qualify.

“Clean running water should flow in all Detroit households beyond 2022 as well as become affordable for everyone. Our lawsuit shows that water shutoffs are devastating to poor families, with a particular impact on Black families, in violation of civil rights laws," Mark Fancher, staff attorney for the ACLU of Michigan's Racial Justice Project, said in a Tuesday statement.

A moratorium on water shutoffs for residential customers in Detroit ends Dec. 31 and Detroiters who are having trouble paying their bills must enroll in one of the city's water assistance programs to avoid getting disconnected next year.

In March 2020, Michigan required utilities to restore water services and halt shutoffs for nonpayment, during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The city extended the moratorium later that year vowing to find a long-term solution to stop shutoffs for low-income Detroiters. Over the summer, the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department launched the Lifeline Plan based on income and usage to help people reduce their bills. That program, which began in August, is currently funded for 18 months.

In a statement Tuesday, the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department said that the moratorium will continue for households that apply for the Lifeline Plan or enroll in the 10/30/50 program, through which people can make a down payment and pay off their delinquent balance in installments.

"As of Dec. 12, that means at least 16,000 households will be in the moratorium after December 31. … We will respond to the motion by the civil rights groups. Meanwhile, we continue our unprecedented outreach, including neighborhood canvassing, to invite more eligible households to apply for the Lifeline Plan," the statement said.

Those who are income eligible can apply for the Lifeline Plan by calling the Wayne Metropolitan Community Action Agency — the organization administering the program — at 313-386-9727 or go to waymetro.org/DWSDlifeline. For more information about the 10/30/50 plan, go to bit.ly/waterassistanceprograms or call DWSD at 313-267-8000.

Plaintiffs question the accessibility of the Lifeline Plan and, in the court filing, raise concerns about "the high probability, if not certainty, that large numbers of Detroit residents will, for various reasons, fail to enroll in the program and thereby render themselves susceptible to shutoffs."

Among the people who may be unable to access the program are those who don't know about it, don't have access to technology, large families who exceed the water usage limit of the plan and those who have insecure immigration status, according to the filing.

One plaintiff, Tuana Henry, said she is concerned about her family using more than the 4,500 gallons of water a month the program requires to remain at the fixed rates. She had applied for the Lifeline Plan, but as of early December, has not received a response about her enrollment, she said in the court filing.

She said she was enrolled in the 10/30/50 program before March 2020 but could not afford the plan. She has dealt with water shutoffs on and off.

Another plaintiff, Jacqueline Taylor, said she has been trying to apply to the plan for months but has not been successful. She does not use a computer, and when she called to make an appointment, she could not get through to do so. She's dealt with water shutoffs for nonpayment prior to the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, as she struggled to pay her water bills and other monthly expenses.

"The loss of water services on and off over the years has caused disruption and mental anguish," she said in the court filing.

Although the Lifeline Plan is a step forward, especially because it wipes away arrears, she said, she's concerned because its funding is temporary.

The water department currently has enough money to run the program for 18 months and is searching for permanent funding. Director Gary Brown previously told the Free Press that DWSD is working with state and federal officials and philanthropic foundations to identify permanent funding.

Out of 220,000 total residential customers in Detroit, 60,000 accounts are in delinquent status, the water department said, and the average balance owed is $700.

The water department has held in-person enrollment fairs, attended community meetings to talk about the program, included notices in some water bills about the moratorium ending and options for assistance programs, and canvassed households that were likely low income, according to DWSD.

DWSD said last week that 20,000 Detroit households are eligible for the Lifeline Plan. As of Nov. 25, more than 12,000 households had applied and 7,900 of them had been enrolled; Wayne Metro was processing roughly 4,300 applications. There are more than 2,400 residential customers in the city's 10/30/50 payment plan.

Suit Claims Racist Suspect Liberal Authorities in Portland Used Highway Construction and "Urban Improvement Projects" to Intentionally Displace Black Residents and Destroy Their Communities

From [HERE] A lawsuit says racism motivated Oregon’s largest city to destroy Black residents’ homes and force them out of their neighborhood decades ago

A home that was a fixture of Bobby Fouther’s childhood is now a parking lot, the two-story, shingle-sided house having been demolished in the 1970s along with many other properties in a predominantly Black neighborhood of Portland.

“Growing up there was just all about love,” Fouther said.

Fouther and his sister, Elizabeth Fouther-Branch, are now among 26 Black people who either lived in the neighborhood or are descendants of former residents and are suing Portland, the city's economic and urban development agency and Legacy Emanuel Hospital, accusing them of the “racist” destruction of the homes and forced displacement.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday in federal court in Portland, shines a light on how urban improvement projects and construction of the nation's highways often came at the cost of neighborhoods that aren't predominantly white.

"In many cases, city and state planners purposely built through Black neighborhoods to clear so-called slums and blighted areas," according to a 2020 report by Pew Charitable Trusts, a Pennsylvania-based nonprofit public policy group.

People who were part of racial minorities were often obligated to live in those neighborhoods because of "redlining" — banks discriminating against home loan applicants based on race — and even due to laws that maintained all-white neighborhoods.

In 1934, Fouther's great-aunt and her husband bought a house, which he and his sister visited almost daily, in the Albina neighborhood of Portland, according to the lawsuit.

But even after buying homes and building lives in Albina, residents were forced to move by so-called urban renewal and highway building.

Albina had already been partially destroyed and carved up in the 1950s and ’60s by the building of Interstate 5 and Veterans Memorial Coliseum, the original home of the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers. But then a hospital expansion was announced.

Between 1971 and 1973, the Portland Development Commission demolished an estimated 188 properties, 158 of which were residential and inhabited by 88 families and 83 individuals. A total of 32 business and four church or community organizations were also destroyed, according to the lawsuit. Of the forcibly displaced households, 74% were Black.

A first phase, in the 1950s and '60s, involved city officials secretly agreeing to compensate the hospital for the full cost of the purchases and demolitions, the lawsuit said. The homeowners were intimidated by hospital representatives and told that if they didn’t leave, the city would take their homes. They were not fairly compensated and in some cases not compensated at all, according to the lawsuit.

“This case is about the intentional destruction of a thriving Black neighborhood in Central Albina under the pretense of facilitating a hospital expansion that never happened,” the lawsuit says, adding that the loss of homes "has meant the deprivation of inheritance, intergenerational wealth, community, and opportunity.”

Much of the land that used to be a thriving neighborhood, where Black families felt safe and had social and spiritual connections, became parking lots or stood vacant.

“I was taken out of my safe and loving community. I was moved into a neighborhood that saw me as a nuisance and to a school where I was one of three Black children,” said Connie Mack, one of the plaintiffs.

The lawsuit said the defendants are benefiting from "unjust enrichment" from “this horribly racist chapter from Portland’s past.”

Legacy Health, which owns Legacy Emanuel Medical Center, declined to comment on the lawsuit, saying it is evaluating it. Prosper Portland, formerly the Portland Development Commission, also said it is evaluating the complaint and had no additional comment. City officials didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Albina is now called the Eliot neighborhood, which boasts trendy shops, cafes and eateries.

“Our neighborhood, in the heart of the former city of Albina, is a great place to live, work and play,” the Eliot Neighborhood Association proclaims on its website.

Many of the plaintiffs' homes, if they had not been destroyed, would have been worth more than $500,000 today, the lawsuit says.

The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory damages from defendants in amounts to be determined at trial.

Real education is opening the doors of both perception and apperception to the vast movement of life-in-flux; learning how to live lovingly-detached in an aboriginal state of beatitude, even in the midst of illusion and confusion all around you. “The aim of education is the widening and deepening of consciousness—not gaining power over ourselves in the sense of treating ourselves as objects to be manipulated rather than human beings expanding in meaningful living.” ~Dr. Rollo May. Education is from the Greek root “educere,” meaning to lead forth or draw out, and originally a midwife’s term meaning “to be present at the birth of—is not the primary function of schooling. The problem of mis-education is not merely personal or institutional; it is implicit in the very processes and therefore virtually transparent. “Systematically—inherit in the process—direct and personal experience is subsumed to external authority and at every turn. Creativity, critical thought, and the questioning of fundamental assumptions [such as, for example, the role of schooling on one’s socialization] are discouraged and frowned upon by the Establishment (status quo).” ~Derrick Jensen. It seems to go unnoticed that there are just as many who do not know how to teach as there are who cannot, in their present state, learn. [MORE]

Should Racists Educate Your Kids? Study Finds that White Teachers Talk about Black Children in Code

From [HERE] It appears that while some teachers are exposing their racism in front of their students others try to be sly with it. According to a study published in Urban Education, white teachers often speak in racially coded ways, influenced by stereotypes, when talking about or dealing with Black students. The outcome of their behavior is inevitably harmful.

John Hopkins Assistant Professor Olivia Marcucci and Washington University (St. Louis) Associate Professor Rowhea Elmesky based their research on a study from 2015 examining why white teachers couldn’t form positive relationships with their Black students. The answer, as you could’ve guessed, was racial bias.

First, the study noted Black students make up 97 percent of disciplinary referrals despite making up only 8 percent of the student population of the school they examined. On the other hand, white students only made up one percent of referrals.

The disparity in treatment across the student population may stem from something Marcucci and Elmesky called racially coded stereotypes - kind of like an exclusive teacher lingo but ... racist.

Read more about the study from The Conversation:

In a different example, two white teachers began talking about how parents at their school didn’t care about their children. At one point, they pretended to be parents, with one of the teachers even making a joke that one of the parents completely forgot they even had a child:

Teacher 1: Yeah, just somebody saying, ‘Hey, you know you have a baby, right?’ Teacher 2: I do? Teacher 1: Yeah. Teacher 2: Oh. Teacher 1: Oh, wooord.

Nothing about this interaction is racially explicit. But the teacher’s joke invokes a stereotype of Black parents as disengaged from their children’s lives by using a stereotypical African American vernacular – “wooord.” When white teachers at a predominantly Black school make statements like these, they are upholding the stereotype that Black parents lack concern for their children – even if that is not the teachers’ intention.

Racist Doctors: According to New Study Black People are Less Likely to be Given Proper Treatment for Severe Cases of Pulmonary Embolism Compared to White Patients and Deaths are Higher for Blacks

From [HERE] People of color are less likely to be given proper treatment for severe cases of pulmonary embolism compared to white patients, according to the findings of a new study.

Research from the Larner College of Medicine at the University of Vermont Burlington presented the study at the recent American Society of Hematology annual meeting, which suggests there are serious racial disparities in access to advanced pulmonary embolism treatments. The findings are considered preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal, but indicated that Black patients and Asian/Pacific Islander patients are 13% and 24%, respectively, less likely to receive potentially life-saving treatments than white patients.

The study involved a review of data on more than 1.1 million patients who were hospitalized for pulmonary embolisms from 2016 to 2018, using information from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, which captures 20% of discharges from US hospitals. Overall, 66,570 cases were considered high-risk, including patients suffering from shock, cardiac arrest, or using a vasopressor medication, or on ventilation.

Pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a blood clot enters the lungs. It can lead to pain, breathlessness, and cough. If left untreated, it can be dangerous and life-threatening, but is easily treated by doctors if a patient gets treatment early enough.

Early treatment typically includes blood thinning medication, compression socks, leg elevation, and pneumatic compression. Advanced therapies used to treat PE include systemic thrombolysis, catheter-directed therapy, surgical embolectomy, and vino-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Rates of PE were highest among Black patients, occurring in 20 patients per 10,000 people. However, compared to white patients, the use of advanced therapies to treat PE was 13% lower among Black patients and 24% lower among Asian/Pacific Islander patients.

Researchers also found disparities in treatment among patients enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid. Patients enrolled in Medicare were 27% less likely to receive treatment and those on Medicaid were 32% less likely to receive treatment compared to those with private insurance.

In-Hospital PE Deaths Higher for People of Color

For patients who suffered from high-risk PE, all racial and ethnic groups had higher in-hospital death rates compared to white patients. [MORE]

Recent Data Suggests Black People’s Brains are likely to Age Faster Due to Stressors such as Racism

From [HERE] Black physicians are fascinated but not surprised by recent data that suggests Black people’s brains are likely to age faster than those of other races due to stressors such as racism. However, doctors said lifestyle changes and preventative care could help slow some of the decline. 

In a study published last month in the journal JAMA Neurology, researchers from Columbia University found racial and ethnic disparities in brain markers of Alzheimer’s disease and related cases of dementia. The scientists analyzed MRI scans of nearly 1,500 participants, and found that Black adults in their mid-50s were more likely than white or Hispanic adults of the same age group to show white-matter lesions in their brains, which are indicators of cerebrovascular disease or cognitive decline. 

The authors noted that “social forces” may have played a part in the accelerated brain aging seen among their Black subjects. In particular, the study says the weathering hypothesis — which states that “chronic exposure to social and economic disadvantage leads to accelerated decline in physical health outcomes”— could cause Black middle-aged adults on average to have cerebrovascular disease earlier in life. 

JAMA Neurology did not immediately respond to request for interview. [MORE]

Eighth Circuit Rules Jail's Unwritten Policy to Report Non-White Immigrant Detainees to ICE is Unlawful

From [HERE] Anoka County, Minn. had an unwritten policy under which foreign-born persons booked in the county jail would be detained until the county heard back from ICE on whether ICE wanted to take custody. Eighth Circuit(link is external): This is literally the "classic example of national-origin discrimination" and an exceptionally dumb policy, not least because it'd apply to foreign-born icons Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger, both long time American citizens. At the same time, the policy is also an exceptionally good example of policies that violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

Attys Complain about Judge's Conduct During the Sentencing Hearing for the "Parkland Shooter." [Media Pretends there was a Contested Trial; Wrong, He Pled Guilty and Pleas Don’t Make False Flags Real]

A guilty plea is just a guilty plea - it is not proof that anything happened in any case. A guilty plea is a way to avoid an actual trial or avoid having to prove that a crime took place. The guilty plea here doesn’t prove that Mr. Cruz committed a massacre or that Parkland happened - its just a plea, nothing more. If an actual, contested criminal defense trial had taken place the Government would have had the burden to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a massacre took place and Mr. Cruz committed it. That is, the Government would have had to show that Parkland was real - with actual authenticated, admissible evidence and testimony subject to cross-examination, credibility determinations, investigation and inspection in an adversarial process before a jury who would decide on the CASE ON ITS merits. But that never happened. Nevertheless, in The Spectacle The Dependent Media goes on implying that “a trial” WAS conducted. Similarly, “Sandy Hoax” was not proven to be real simply because a court entered default judgments against Alex Jones when he failed to respond to court orders in lawsuits. Contrary to constant media mischaracterization, there was no actual contested trial. The court proceedings only pertained to how much should be awarded in damages. A DEFAULT JUDGEMENT SIMPLE MEANS MR. JONES WAS FOUND LIABLE. IT DOESN’T MEAN THAT SANDY HOAX WASN’T AN ELABORATE HOAX. [MORE]

this mf is real?

ANOTHER “TRIAL” FOR A FALSE FLAG LOOKED RIGGED. From [HERE] Florida criminal defense attorneys said the judge overseeing sentencing of the shooter in the 2018 Parkland school shooting was "hostile and demeaning" toward defense counsel, conduct that "reveals temperament ill-suited to the criminal bench" (article available here).

The Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers wrote a letter to Chief Judge Jack Tuter of the 17th Judicial Circuit complaining about Broward County Judge Elizabeth Scherer's behavior during sentencing proceedings for 24-year-old Nikolas Cruz. Cruz was convicted of killing 17 people in the February 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School.

The president of the defense lawyers association said in Thursday's letter that Judge Scherer's comments and actions during the proceedings were offensive and "detrimental to the integrity of the judiciary and the judicial system." He urged the chief judge to address the matter with the judge and "take all appropriate steps to ensure she is not in a position to prejudice any other criminal cases."

"The image of a judge relegating an elected public defender and his top assistant to go sit in the corner like misbehaving children is offensive and discounts their very vital and difficult role in this system."

AS REAL AS A FUCKING GAME SHOW, WAS SHE GOING TO BE ONE OF THE GOVERNMENTS WITNESSES? ENJOY CLOWN WORLD.

The association has not filed a formal complaint with the state's Judicial Qualifications Commission.

Cruz pleaded guilty in October 2021. The death-penalty phase of the trial began this summer and the jury returned a life verdict. Cruz was sentenced to life in prison without parole Nov. 2.

Judge Scherer, a former prosecutor, was seen hugging members of the prosecution team in the courtroom, according to footage obtained by local television station.

Fourth Circuit Reverses Conviction: A Driver’s Nervousness is Not Enough to Establish a Reasonable Basis to Search Car with Police Dog

From [HERE] Morgantown, W.V. cop pulls over a car for a broken taillight. The cop, concerned about the driver's nervousness, issues a warning citation and then uses his dog to sniff the car. The dog alerts on a passenger's backpack, which was then searched and turns out it had two guns in it, for which the passenger is later convicted. Passenger: there was no reasonable suspicion and this violates the Fourth Amendment. District court: Reasonable suspicion exits. Fourth Circuit(link is external): The cop needed reasonable suspicion to extend the stop for the dog sniff. And the driver's nervousness isn't enough, given that most everyone is nervous when interacting with the police. The dog sniff is suppressed and the conviction vacated.

The case is United States v. Miller, 21-4086 (4th Cir. Nov. 29, 2022).

Doug Evans, the racist suspect DA who Falsely Prosecuted Curtis Flowers 6X for Murder and Routinely Removed Black Jurors b/c They were Black, Loses Election for Judgeship

From [HERE] Embattled longtime prosecutor Doug Evans, who tried Curtis Flowers six times for murder and saw his convictions overturned on appeal, lost his bid to become judge for the 5th Circuit Court (article available here(link is external)).

As a circuit court judge, Evans could hear criminal cases in the same district where the U.S. Supreme Court said he prevented Black people from serving as jurors(link is external), including in Flowers’ case. 

Evans, who has been the district attorney of the district for over 30 years, first tried Flowers in 1997 for the killings of four people at the Tardy Furniture store in Winona. 

Evans secured four death penalty convictions for Flowers, but those were overturned by state and federal courts. In two trials, a jury didn’t reach a unanimous verdict. 

Evans recused himself after the Mississippi Center for Justice, which represented Flowers, asked for him to be removed from the case. Attorney General Lynn Fitch was appointed as the lead prosecutor.

In September 2020, Fitch’s office dropped charges against Flowers after he spent 23 years in prison, most of it on death row at the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman. 

In 2021, Flowers sued Evans in federal court for misconduct. A federal judge ordered the case stayed until May 1, 2023.

Lawsuit claims New York law disqualifying felons from jury duty is discriminatory

From [HERE] The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) Thursday filed a class action lawsuit to challenge Section 510(3) of the New York Judiciary Law, which disqualifies people convicted of felonies from serving on juries, no matter the nature of the offense or how long ago the convictions occurred.

The civil rights action challenges what the NYCLU calls “mass disenfranchisement of Black people— especially Black men—from the state court jury pool in Manhattan.” The lawsuit alleges that Section 510(3) has been applied alongside decades of racially biased policing and prosecutorial practices to lead to an overall underrepresentation of black people, and black men in particular, on juries.

According to the NYCLU, the disparity is rooted in racist policies and practices throughout the past half-century, including disparate drug enforcement, broken-windows policing and the New York City Police Department’s unconstitutional stop-and-frisk program. The NYCLU estimates that Section 510(3) likely excludes from jury service more than one out of every four otherwise jury-eligible Black residents of New York County. For otherwise-eligible Black men, the exclusion is, “even more devastating,” disqualifying likely more than 40 percent.

The suit argues that this reduction in jury diversity compromises the quality of deliberations, erodes public confidence in the fairness of the jury system, hampers successful reintegration into society and violates the class’s Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.

3 Black St. Louis Puppeticians Sentenced to Prison for Taking Federal Bribes

From [HERE] and [HERE] Three former St. Louis aldermen have been sentenced for their roles in a federal bribery scheme.

Former Board of Aldermen President Lewis Reed and former aldermen Jeffrey Boyd and John Collins-Muhammad were all handed prison sentences Tuesday afternoon at the Thomas F. Eagleton U.S. Courthouse. Each had pleaded guilty in August to federal theft and bribery charges, but they were each asking the judge not to sentence them to any jail time.

Collins-Muhammad was sentenced to 45 months in federal prison, with three years of supervised release afterward. He must also pay back $19,500 in bribes he accepted from an undercover FBI informant.

Boyd was sentenced to 36 months in federal prison, one month less than the maximum recommended under advisory guidelines, plus three years probation. The judge assessed a fine of $23,000.

Reed was sentenced to 45 months in prison plus three years probation and was fined $18,500.

The sentencings came a week after photos were released that showed all three aldermen taking thousands of dollars in bribes from an undercover FBI informant.

In a sentencing memo, the U.S. Attorney’s office shared that the three violated the public trust, and they should be justly punished. The sentences will be handed down by Judge Stephen Clark at the Eagleton Courthouse in downtown St. Louis.

The U.S. Attorney’s office said that according to sentencing guidelines, Reed and Collins-Muhammad should each face 37 to 46 months in prison for their roles in the pay-to-play schemes, while Boyd should receive 30 to 37 months behind bars.

Images released by federal prosecutors show all three city leaders receiving cash payments or other gifts.

Reed, Collins-Muhammad, and Boyd all resigned their positions on the Board of Aldermen and pleaded guilty to federal bribery-related charges in August.

Boyd also pleaded guilty to insurance fraud in a separate case.

Reed, Collins-Muhammad, and Boyd all said that they took thousands of dollars in exchange for political favors.

The sentencing memo from the U.S. Attorney’s office reads, “This case presents a picture of greed, pure and simple.” “These defendants sold their elected offices in exchange for cash bribes, campaign donations, and other things of value with total disregard for the best interests of their constituents – the real victims in this case.”

It goes on to read, “Our public officials should be held accountable for their criminal conduct by appropriate prison sentences; the victim citizens deserve it, and fairness and justice require it.”

To be Clear Racist Suspect Alabama AG States: ​“There's No Moratorium on Capital Punishment [means Murders of Mostly Black Inmates by Authorities-Death Row is 50% Black, although AL is Only 18% Black]

From [HERE] During a December 5, 2022 press conference, Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall (pictured) discussed the state’s review of its lethal injection process, rejecting the media’s characterization of it as a “moratorium” on executions and urging that the review be carried out quickly. Governor Kay Ivey announced a “top-to-bottom review” of the state’s execution protocol on November 21, 2022, after two executions in a two-month period had to be called off when executioner were unable to set intravenous lines. 

“I stand before you today to be very clear that, so far as I and my office are concerned, there is no moratorium nor will there be on capital punishment in Alabama,” Marshall said. He called for a swift review, saying, “there is a timeliness for this to occur.” “In the last few weeks, I’ve seen some pronouncements that somehow or another we have a so-called moratorium on executions in Alabama,” Marshall said. “And I will tell you that that characterization came as a great surprise to me. Because there’s only two parties involved in setting an execution in Alabama. That’s me as attorney general and our Alabama Supreme Court.” 

Ivey’s November 21 press release did not use the term “moratorium,” but explicitly requested “that the attorney general not seek additional execution dates for any other death row inmates until the top-to-bottom review is complete.” Later that day, Marshall withdrew two pending motions, which had sought to set an execution date for James Barber and a new execution date for Alan Miller, whose initial September execution was aborted. On November 30, the state agreed not to make further attempts to execute Miller by lethal injection, but may still seek to execute him by nitrogen hypoxia.

Marshall did not directly respond to questions about whether he would refrain from seeking additional execution dates while the investigation was under way. “What you simply heard was the governor ask for a delay to be able to investigate what could be done better within the execution protocol. And so we look forward to having any conversation with her about that,” he said.

Suit Claims Pfizer knew Chantix contained human carcinogen

From [HERE] Pfizer is facing a class action lawsuit alleging it knowingly sold Chantix despite the drug containing a human carcinogen. 

Timothy Bleeker, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a complaint Nov. 14 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Washington against Pfizer Inc., alleging breach of express warranties, fraud and other claims. 

Bleeker alleges in his class action that Pfizer has "misbranded" its drug containing varenicline sold under the brand name Chantix and that the partial nicotine agonist drug is "not of the quality" that the company represents. Specifically, Bleeker claims that Pfizer fraudulently sold and marketed Chantix knowing the drug contained a "probable human carcinogen," N-nitroso-varenicline, and began recalling its varenicline-containing drugs in July of 2021 after FDA testing. 

He alleges that Pfizer's actions caused those trying to quit smoking to become exposed to carcinogens similar to those in cigarettes and that the company failed to disclose that the product contained  N-nitroso-varenicline and other nitrosamines that can cause tumors and liver and kidney damage according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. 

The plaintiff and the class seek monetary relief, interest, trial by jury and all other just relief. They are represented by Deborah Nelson and Jeffrey Boyd of Nelson Boyd PLLC in Seattle.
