Here’s the LA County DA debate, where DA Lacey faces two challengers from the left, Rossi (a public defender running for DA) and Gascon (who was SF DA until he resigned last fall to run in LA):
Is Jackie Lacey going to respond to any of the claims that her opponents are raising about her *record* in the LA DA’s office, or is she just going to say that Gascon is bad and ignore the actual things they say? (Also, would be interesting if she actually addressed Rossi, too.)
Lacey says she still supports the death penalty. As a Democrat. In 2020. In California.

Unacceptable.

All day today, I’ve been seeing the people sharing their support for @ewarren under the #AllOfUs4Warren banner, and it’s been incredible. Officials and activists and people who just know that now’s the time when they need to speak up and stand up.
I’ve been supporting Warren since August — and I challenge her when I think it’s needed. At the end of each day, though, I come back to my fundamental belief: Elizabeth Warren is the person best-suited to sit in the Oval Office after Donald Trump.
But seeing the #AllOfUs4Warren tweets helped me connect with what I feel, not just think, about @ewarren’s campaign. Its spirit is the spirit that animated my one & only big personal campaign—for student body president at @AmericanU back in 1997. My slogan: It’s about All of Us.

Tomorrow, Georgia plans to execute Scotty Morrow. This is yet another case where the jury did not have the whole story before recommending a death sentence. After hearing the truth, a majority of the trial jurors are now comfortable with a life sentence. Thread:
Scotty was exposed to violence, brutality, and sexual abuse throughout his entire childhood. The jury only heard a small part of that history. A Georgia appellate court ruled that "trial counsel failed to deliver on their promise to the jury" to explain Scotty's crime.
When Scotty was a toddler, he watched helplessly while his father brutally beat his mother over and over again. In one vicious attack, Scotty's father stomped on his pregnant mother's abdomen, causing her to miscarry. Scotty was 3 years old when he witnessed this violence.

Texas plans to execute Troy Clark on Wednesday but there are some serious problems with his case. Troy has always maintained his innocence. Someone else made a detailed confession and then completely changed her story in exchange for a reduced sentence.
Christina Muse was murdered in May 1998. Christina had previously lived with Troy Clark and Tory Bush, his girlfriend at the time. Police brought Bush in for questioning several months after the murder. She told investigators that she killed Christina out of jealousy and anger.
Bush told investigators that she was angry because she thought that Christina was trying to take her boyfriend. Bush said that she unsuccessfully tried to use a stun gun to disable Christina. When that didn't work, Bush said she hit Christina over the head with a wood 2x4.

Texas plans to execute Troy Clark on Wednesday. Troy's trial attorneys failed to investigate his background or present mitigation evidence to the jury. Jurors are instructed to consider mitigation evidence as weighing against a death sentence. Here's what Troy's jury never heard:
Troy Clark was born to single mother in San Antonio, Texas. His mother drank alcohol daily and used illegal drugs while she was pregnant. Troy was born with a cleft palette. He was constantly teased and harassed because of a severe speech impediment caused by the cleft palette.
Troy's mother and father were first cousins. Troy didn't meet his father until he was 17 years old. He didn't have much contact with his father's family. He only met his paternal grandfather once at a gas station. Troy's father had doubts about whether Troy was even his child.
