Item: In 2016 Harvard Law School's Fair Punishment Project identified Miami-Dade County (and you know who) as one of four "outlier counties" in Florida that shared "a history of overzealous prosecutions, inadequate defense lawyering (Hey! Whatch you talkin about Willis?) and "a pattern of racial bias and exclusion."
She's not deaf. She knows our city is in Flames. Dozens of protestors have been arrested. Will they be ROR'd? How will the prosecutions proceed? Does she stand with the protestors? Just wait...it doesn't get better than this.
In Michigan, Sheriff Chris Swanson took off his helmet, told his officers to drop their nightsticks and he walked with the protestors in a show of solidarity. The NY Times reports here.
In Dallas, Texas, law enforcement officers prayed with protestors.
In Minnesota, the chief of police, interviewed on CNN repeatedly took off his hat as a sign of respect when addressing George Lloyds's brother.
And our state attorney? What did she tweet?
The May newsletter is out!! Hooray! (Note the exclamation point is hers, not ours). All questions will be answered.
Yup Our intrepid State Attorney had her own Steve Martin/The Jerk/The New Phone Books are here! moment.
The leadership from law enforcement that our town needs has arrived...in the form of a newsletter that mentions NOT anything about the protests.
From the newsletter: "Other jurisdictions continue to look to us for insights on how they can better deliver justice." (We kid you not. She wrote this).
We can imagine this. (Once again, satire, protected speech, no minimum mandatory sentences apply to us) The prosecutor in Genesee County, Michigan where Sheriff Swanson walked with protestors this weekend.
Top Prosecutor: "We need to do more. Swanson walked with the protestors and that was a great start. But we need to show a commitment to justice, so lets see what Rundle is doing in Miami...Hmmmm a newsletter. Huh. Well...."
She could not be more tone deaf.
Have a young black juvie client with a bad case that's been hanging over his head for ages. Today -- finally -- he would get resolution and at least be at peace with it.
ReplyDeleteHearing just got cancelled due to "security" concerns at Children's courthouse. And it was a zoom hearing.
Great job, everyone! Let's make sure the building where our county handles the welfare of children unsafe!
OMG rump you roasted her. She is not secure in her ability or intelligence. You are mocking both. They are going crazy on the top floor. They are going to come after you. Some SAO investigators with FDLE. An investigation into inciting riots and affrays. I am serious. They will ask for your phone and computer. They do not have a warrant. I am not sure if they tried to get one and were turned down. Be careful Mi Amigo. You are stirring the pot and threatening their jobs and more than being angry, they are scared.
ReplyDeleteJust call me deep throat.
Maybe she is concerned that if she takes a position on what happened in Minneapolis that people would use that to disqualify her down here. I think everyone who saw that tape is appalled at what that policeman did, but demanding a first degree murder charge makes no sense. I understand why Crump favors it since acquittals feed his practice, not convictions., But, we need to convict those four and start communicating better with cops, and remember taht cops are not Black, cops are not white, cops are not Latin. COPS ARE BLUE, and that is why three could stand by and do nothing while a fourth killed that poor man.
ReplyDeleteDidn’t her office prosecute the North Miami police officer for shooting at (and missing) the young special needs kid and his chaperone?
ReplyDeleteShe has actually prosecuted several police officers. Just ask Michael Cornely and Doug Hartma. What about the Lozano case? Let’s be fair. Prosecuting a police officer is not easy.
ReplyDeleteThis is not police using excessive force upon a minority person during an arrest. It shouldn’t be viewed in the same light as cases where training or inherent racism or fear lead to a fearful deadly response. Those cases are bad but this is a first degree murder pure and simple! The murderer chose strangulation with his knee as the means, took 9 1/2 minutes to commit it and had a conversation with the victim about the effect of his strangulation while he did it. The victim repeatedly told the murderer that the knee was killing him during the 91/2 minutes and the murderer was listening to a simultaneous description with updates on the progress of the murder by observers during the strangulation. The murderers continued application of the knee as the lead of his entire body weight on the victims neck was steadied on a number of occasions while he readjusted his weight in order to achieve maximum pressure to the neck and all the while he was deliberate, cold blooded and on at least one occasion threatened the observers with pepper spray to dissuade them form interfering with the murder. In fact, he kept the max pressure on the neck for 2 minutes after the murder just to make sure the killing was complete and then lied about it in his report. No doubt because he knew the truth was murder. This is not some cop who was overly rough during an arrest, this is more like the scumbag who shot the guy in the back in South Carolina, a cold blooded murderer! What is systematic police misconduct is the inaction of the policemen who witnessed the murder, did nothing to prevent or stop it and in fact helped the murderer do the deed. The only reason the murderer felt safe during the murder is he knew his fellow officers would protect him during the murder and would help him cover it up afterward. First degree murder is the only appropriate charge.
ReplyDeleteKFR is a disgusting human. Glad that those outside of the legal community are starting to realize this. Love, Former ASA
