🧵 My Valentine spent the day with me in a courtroom.
A month and a half ago when I first heard about the case of Vincent Simmons I went down a rabbit hole.
It was a Friday.
I was on vacation.
But I was curious. Obsessively so.
Did he get a fair trial?
I called his attorney.
Watched a documentary about the case.
Read close to 200 pages of court documents.
I wanted to investigate the story but realized that Vincent Simmons had been trying to tell the story for nearly 30 years & nearly a dozen judges dismissed his claims.
So was it worth it I wondered.
I kept going.
For the last two months I’ve worked on the Simmons story and Jeremy has followed every step.
I asked him to watch the documentary about the case.
His interest led him to join me in Marksville, Louisiana today.

A wild moment in the courtroom as the defense attorney is on the phone with prison officials at Angola. Vincent is sitting here watching. The defense attorney is saying let him go go. The warden at Angola wants him to go back to be processed out.

President Biden has said in the past: "But I am not joking when I say this, if you are ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague with disrespect... talk down to someone, I promise you I will fire you on the spot. On the spot. No ifs, ands, or buts.”
H/t: @weijia
Biden went on to say, previously: Everybody... everybody is entitled to be treated with decency and dignity. That's been missing in a big way the last four years.""But I am not joking when I say this, if you are ever working with me and I hear you treat another colleague …
