Criminal defence lawyer. Justice reform, and death penalty abolition. More fun than I sound.

Did Toronto police conspire to plant a man’s ID as evidence in a gun case — or was it one officer’s ‘honest lie?’ https://t.co/W9X8adB8uH

‘It is imperative that what the police did here be condemned’: Peel officers made up reasons for an illegal search — then lied about it in court, judge finds https://t.co/RUDvBu2CaI

Can't think of a better start to the new year. Elrico's case is widely considered to be among the strongest cases of wrongful conviction in North Carolina. An important step towards his exoneration.

[The Charlotte Ledger @CltLedger]

Gov. Roy Cooper today commuted the death sentences of 15 people, including 1 from Mecklenburg: Elrico Fowler, age 49, convicted in the 1995 shooting death and armed robbery of a Howard Johnson motel worker. Here's what happened: 🧵

Client acquitted of manslaughter. That makes 3 first-degree murder acquittals and a manslaughter acquittal for @Hussein__Aly since January alone. See thread. https://t.co/gzWKa4pipp

"I realized that execution wasn't the worst thing possible, the worst thing possible was not doing anything purposeful before that time comes." - Terry Robinson Season 1, Episode 1, First Impressions • In The Cellar (https://t.co/zIigvbiXwo)

[Humza Hussain @Humza_AH]

My brother Jason Hurst and his close friend Terry Robinson have started a podcast, recorded on the phones from Death Row in North Carolina. New episodes every Tuesday. https://t.co/WbGqXIzgqP.

[Humza Hussain @Humza_AH]

Jason is guilty of murder. Terry "Chanton" Robinson is innocent. Both have been on Death Row for over 20 years. Their perspective on life, loss and redemption is impossible to replicate. I am so excited to hear the full season.

@DuncanDefence Thanks Keely

Gun charges tossed after Toronto East jail guards ‘cover up’ pepper-spray incident — despite video evidence. https://t.co/3rlOgCMKz0 via @torontostar

[Tonya Kent @tonya_ck]

The abuse in jails is rampant and disgusting. Although this case found its way to justice, there are dozens of others that get don't get dealt with for a plethora of reasons. Congrats to @Humza_AH for winning. Next question: what happens to the COs who did this? Probably nothing.
