The Massachusetts highest court finds that life without parole is UNCONSTITUTIONAL for kids between the ages of 18-20 when the crime was committed. THIS IS HUGE!!! Commonwealth v. Mattis (SJC 11693): mass.gov/files/document…
New England Innocence Project@NEInnocence

🚨🚨TODAY🚨🚨 The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court will decide whether it is unconstitutional for kids to be sentenced to mandatory life without parole for crimes committed when they were between the ages of 18-20 years old. We are collectively hoping for more freedom today!

There is no such thing as a “race neutral” policy. There are only racist policies, which produce inequitable and unjust outcomes, and antiracist policies, which produce equitable and just outcomes. 🎥 February 1 in Raleigh, NC. #YoungAntiracist 📚✨

Our criminal legal system is built on fallacies about safety. We can course-correct but only if we have the courage to abandon myths and confront truths. And importantly - a radical reallocation of resources. bostonglobe.com/2023/02/13/opi…

The safest communities are the ones with the most resources, not the most police. We can't police our way out of poverty, homelessness and food insecurity.

Today, Raymond Gaines's motion for new trial was allowed by the Suffolk Superior Court. He spent 46 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. @SCDAONews has opposed his efforts all along, but the Court saw the injustice. (1/2)

Another key piece of @wwuthmann's article is how cops choose not to see behavior as criminal when it's one of their own. Multiple drunk driving incidents. No arrests. Job restored because his drinking grew out of PTSD. Newsflash: so much "criminal" conduct grows out of trauma!

This is a mess. @WBUR found more than a dozen police officers who had been fired or resigned after a misconduct investigation - who were then hired by other departments. They’re still cops, just somewhere else. What?! 1/3 bostonglobe.com/2022/11/21/met…

Experts say it's common for ousted police officers to find new jobs, especially in states like Massachusetts with lots of small departments, weak public records laws, and a history of not tracking misconduct statewide: wbur.fm/3TSIv3M

If the Supreme Court rules that the Indian Child Welfare Act is unconstitutional, the law will once again be aligned with the same conservative Christian interests that tore apart Native nations, cultures and families in the first place.

This WAS fierce advocacy AND it shouldn’t have required Robert Foxworth & his attorney to raise these issues. Every exoneration should be accompanied by a searching investigation that recognizes that they are not rare, isolated instances but systemic failures w/ many more victims
Daniel Medwed@danielmedwed

Brave advocacy @amy_belger to file this complaint and let MA bar know about how Robert Foxworth suffered from prosecutorial behavior

Infuriating, heartbreaking, and sickening don’t even begin to describe this. To overturn the ICWA to benefit your big oil clients is already horrific, let alone to do so under the guise of pro bono initiatives 🤮

Could #Ohio become the second state to establish an independent Innocence Inquiry Commission? A new bill has been introduced that could create it and other reforms recommended by a task force that reported back to the Ohio Supreme Court in August. ohiohouse.gov/members/david-…

The public is routinely shut out of what is happening in the MA criminal courts through the frivolous denials of public records requests. If prosecutors’ offices were more transparent about what was happening, we might hear from the community more often “No! Not in my name!”

The Worcester District Attorney's Office withheld documents in criminal case, saying the case was still active, even though the defendant "was convicted and his appeal denied." #FOIA
