Important account by @PiperSFrench of a deeply troubling prosecution that threatens to undermine police accountability. @keribla has also reported on this concerning case.
Diana Teran worked for years to root out misconduct in the LA Sheriff’s Department, but now she faces charges from the state AG related to that work. Critics worry it could chill local efforts to ‘police the police.’

Folks should watch @keribla's & crew's Oscar-nominated short doc "I Am Ready, Warden," directed by @SmritiMundhra. It is a beautiful and haunting account of those most impacted by capital punishment:

THIS 👇👇👇 is how democracy and the rule of law die. And the silence from far too many elected officials is deafening.

Let's hope that executives in states across the nation with many on death now show themselves to be leaders of conscience. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…

We commend @POTUS for using his clemency powers to address systemic injustice and save the lives of 37 people on death row.
Today’s commutations are a momentous step towards redressing the death penalty’s long history of racialized, systemic violence.

Perhaps our nation will one day join the rest of the western world ans #EndtheDeathPenalty -- but for now this was a critical move to save lives before a new administration takes over.

NEWS: President Biden has commuted death sentences for 37 of the 40 men on federal death row. They will now serve life sentences and cannot be executed. This is a milestone in the fight to shut down the death penalty — thank you! apnews.com/article/biden-dea…

NEW: A statement from @robrtgreene, who just resigned from @latimes editorial board:
These departures from @latimes are a HUGE loss & the tragic result of a reprehensible decision by the publisher. @robrtgreene was one of the most respected voices nationally on #CJReform issues & helped inform thinking for decades. Now more than ever these voices are needed.

The #DeathPenalty is always inadmissible, because it attacks the inviolability and dignity of the person. I appeal for its abolition in all countries of the world. We must not forget that a person can repent and change, even up until the very last moment of their life.

Closing #MensCentralJail and replacing it with a new jail will not make Los Angeles safer.
Better solutions exist. LA County can reduce its jail population, save lives, and build public safety by investing in community-based alternatives to incarceration. latimes.com/opinion/story/20…
