THREAD: Pete Martel was incarcerated for 14 years. 30 years ago he robbed a store. Shot at police. Free since 2008. Turned life around. Got a law degree. Chosen as law clerk on Michigan Supreme Court. Hes 48 now. True success story.
Another judge just forced him to resign. Sick.
Job alert: North Carolina administrative office of the courts is hiring for a research and policy associate located in Raleigh! I may be bias but I think we’re a great team to work with😊

GOP lawmaker:
OMG! A private company is making decisions about how to train employees who voluntarily work there and whom the company pays with its own money!
We must pass a law to stop these job creators!
Only state-approved thoughts are allowed in our free market!
Today, the Senate Health Policy Committee voted to pass Senate Bill 146 (SB 146), which will eliminate access to safe and legal abortion care after 15 weeks and will criminalize medical professionals who provide such critical reproductive healthcare.

Enjoyed this week’s Public Crim seminar, as always! Big takeaway: there is no evidence that suggests that immigrants are more likely than non-immigrants to commit crime. Sadly, this myth is pervasive in society, & we have our work cut out to combat this myth & misinformation.

@ReedsCarl It poses the same question for those incarcerated on drug charges. As the drug laws change, especially those for marijuana use, shouldn’t those incarcerated for its use have amended sentences based on new laws and statutes?
@DrAlexPiquero @bschnitzler1 Very excited to see the research that will come from these new policies and especially to see the effect that a pandemic will have, if any.
