San Franciscans: I'm as excited about @chesaboudin as I was about @DA_LarryKrasner. He has a compelling personal story & a BEAUTIFUL criminal justices reform platform. Please spread the word & consider voting for him on 11/5. He's EXACTLY the type of progressive DA we need!
@chesaboudin @DA_LarryKrasner Here's his agenda for preventing wrongful convictions, which is both backward AND forward looking: chesaboudin.com/wrongful_convi…
@chesaboudin @DA_LarryKrasner And his 6-Point Plan to establish a victim/survivor-centered approach in the prosecution of sex crimes, including testing EVERY rape kit sounds AMAZING: chesaboudin.com/sex_crimes
@chesaboudin @DA_LarryKrasner He would also end cash bail in San Francisco: chesaboudin.com/end_money_bail
@chesaboudin @DA_LarryKrasner I also LOVE his proposed focus on restorative justice: chesaboudin.com/restorative_ju…
@chesaboudin @DA_LarryKrasner If you've followed @Undisclosedpod for the past few years, you've seen how much of a difference a real-deal progressive DA can make, including the exoneration of the wrongfully conviction. @chesaboudin is the real deal.

Breaking down what the Maryland courts have found in the Adnan Syed PCR Proceeding in 4 tweets: Adnan’s trial counsel was Constitutionally deficient in both failing to contact an alibi witness and failing to use the AT&T disclaimer to question the State’s cell tower expert. 1/4
The crux of the State’s case was not the time of Hae’s death; instead it was evidence/testimony connected to the Leakin Park pings. 2/4
Therefore, trial counsel’s failure to contact the alibi witness was not prejudicial, but the failure to use the AT&T disclaimer was prejudicial. 3/4

The movement to contact @BillHaslam (615-741-2001) to ask for clemency for Cyntoia Brown is gaining traction. If you call, you can cite my report finding that Tennessee has by far the harshest juvenile sentencing laws in the country: lawprofessors.typepad.com/evidenceprof/2…
In Tennessee, Cyntoia isn't eligible for parole until serving 51 years. In the second harshest state -- Oklahoma -- she'd be eligible for parole after 38.25 years. In the majority of states, she'd be eligible for release after serving 20 or fewer years.
The average life expectancy for juvenile lifers is 50.6 years. Cyntoia's sentence itself exceeds her life expectancy. Given that she was a teenager when convicted, she would need to exceed the life expectancy of a juvenile lifer by about 2 decades to ever make it out of prison.

A rundown on how criminal justice reform did at the ballot box last night. First, Louisiana voters voted to end nonunanimous jury verdicts in felony cases. Now, effective January 1st, verdicts must be unanimous: usnews.com/news/best-stat…
Second, Florida voters voted to end felony disenfranchisement, restoring the right to vote to 1.5 million Floridians. It will be interesting to see which state next tackles this issue: businessinsider.com/felony-disenfr…
Third, it received less attention, but Floridians passed Amendment 11, which allows the legislature to apply new crim laws retroactively. Example: the elimination of mandatory minimums can apply retroactively to defendants convicted of minor drug crimes: miamiherald.com/opinion/letter…

Dear @MumbaiPolice @CPMumbaiPolice @DGPMaharashtra @ThaneCityPolice @Thane_R_Police @Dev_Fadnavis I always had immense respect for Maharashtra Police and Mumbai police as it’s history is full of sacrifices in the line of duty and protecting it’s citizens and law and order.
Unfortunately one incident actually shattered my trust today morning and I would like to share my experience here. I stay in Palava city and was going to Tilak Nagar, Kalyan for some personal work.
It was around 12:00 PM when just before Tilak Nagar My car was idling at Durgadi Chowk circle as the traffic police had signaled for halt. Just on my right there was a Truck Bearing No. MH04EB 8715 was idling too.

 I’m not sure if people are aware, but something very serious is happening in Hong Kong right now. The government is trying to pass an Extradition law that would allow China to extradite whoever they wanted from HK to be tried/prosecuted in China. cont-
02.
 This is bad for a multitude of reasons. Firstly, judges would regulate who gets extradited or not, but multiple HK judges have come forward and expressed concerns about ‘being pressured’ by Beijing, as the HK judicial system is very much monitored by the communist party.

 Recently, the Chinese gov abducted 5 booksellers from HK and detained them for selling political books that spoke out against the communist party. This was highly illegal as freedom of speech is a protected right in HK. By passing this extradition bill, China would be able-

Please consider supporting my wife’s newspaper on Patreon (patreon.com/themanchesterm…). Quality local journalism is under dire threat, and building a free fact-based news source for rural America is a problem that needs to be addressed village by village, and town by town.
Over 10 years, working journalists in the US have halved from almost 80K down to less than 40K. In rural America, news deserts are becoming the norm. Sara Swanson has worked 5 years to build a free online and on paper newspaper for our community of 10k rural Michigananders.
Sara had dedicated more than a decade to charitable work in the village of Manchester, Michigan. She works for healthy food, for the fair treatment and feeding of the poor, and for the rights of women in our rural community. But she found communication was the bottleneck.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
