@RDunhamDP @TCADPdotORG Hi Rob, he’ll be resentenced to life next month.

A finding that Mr. Jordan is intellectually disabled would have barred the death penalty in his case and made him immediately eligible for parole. Now, he faces a new capital sentencing trial at which the defense will reassert his claim of intellectual disability. @TCADPdotORG

@leachfortexas Can there be legislation to remove bad NBA owners?

This is perhaps the biggest news in the history of Dallas sports. And by “biggest” I mean, “shocking”. And by “shocking” I mean “absurd”. Someone help make sense of this, please.

@lee_kovarsky It's a great show. We've rewatched it, twice I think

i sat down while my daughter was watching gilmore girls and the episode had a garage band with sebastian bach covering jesus and mary chain, jfc might have to watch this whole show

@lee_kovarsky Does this make you an original writ originalist?

@pamelacolloff @eramshaw @keribla She’s a treasure

Just got off the phone with PULITZER FINALIST @keribla, who was, of course, more focused on her next big scoop and was also trying to file a story. So proud of you, Keri!! 🏆

@lee_kovarsky Who wants you to talk about law stuff?

@AskAllisonM Thanks so much Allison. It’s been a long road and many, many people contributed to this wonderful result.

@benbwolff gives me hope that the good fight is still worth fighting.

@lee_kovarsky At least he didn’t confuse him for Duncan Robinson

@DrDanBarrett But what a terrible crowd

@jsmccullou @TexasTribune Jolie, I'm so sorry, but grateful for all of your work over the years to shine a light on the dark corners of the Texas criminal justice system. Thank you for all of your work, and i can't wait to see where you land and continue to follow your work.

Yesterday, I was laid off by @TexasTribune after nearly 9 years. New leadership got rid of its longest-tenured reporters and said they’ll no longer cover the criminal justice beat. No one on police, prisons, courts, the death penalty. In Texas. Here’s some of what we’ll lose:

@lee_kovarsky You do work in chandeliered bathrooms?

@BarryDAlbrecht They were definitely no Gin Blossoms!

@mattschnuck By that measure, the germ theory is looking pretty good!

A theory is only as good as its ability to interact with the future.

@keribla @latimes Boo! Thank you for all that you've done over the last several years to shine a light on Texas prisons and the criminal legal system. We'll miss you! Don't be a stranger!

So, as they say, ~personal~ news: I am leaving Texas next month, to join the @latimes. I'll be covering the LA Sheriff's Dept, jail & related shenanigans. LA folks: Now is the time to leak me stuff!! No one will suspect you yet!!

@j_simonson @LoveisWise_ @thenewpress So excited to read! Congratulations!!!
