Oregon was the last state in the country to allow a jury to convict someone of a felony other than murder by an 11-1 or 10-2 vote. 1/7 A picture of a jury box with text: The Oregonian editorial b

From @oregonian editor @tbottomly:

“Reporter @robwdavis began his deep examination of the newspaper’s history more than a year ago. 1/6 The editor of the oregonian is shown seated at her computer.
@tbottomly @robwdavis He and editor @_Brad_Schmidt spent months reviewing the archives, assessing the evidence and talking to historians and Oregonians whose communities were affected by the coverage. 2/6
I thought we would find the newspaper had missed stories, ignored major cultural movements, been behind the times. And, yes, we found sins of omission, to be sure.

But the gravest mistakes were sins of commission. 3/6

Despite telling @Oregonian on Saturday that he was not a “Trumper,” and the comment was in jest, Jared Schmeck said Monday he’s “proud” of taunting Biden during a live Christmas event for children. 2/5
Schmeck made the new remarks on Bannon’s show, War Room, where he wore a “Make America Great Again” hat and struck a defiant tone.

Bannon was indicted by a federal grand jury in Nov. after he defied a subpoena for the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection. 3/5
