.@stlcopa Seeks to Vacate Death Penalty Conviction of Marcellus Williams. Citing crime scene DNA that belonged to someone else, Wesley Bell asked a Missouri court to consider evidence of Williams’s innocence. https://t.co/VpRd2ZAfU2 @theintercept @chronic_jordan @MADPMO @The_MIP

Alabama strapped a gas mask on Kenneth Smith last week & started suffocating him w/ nitrogen gas. He was thrashing & writhing for four minutes. He didn’t die for nearly 10 minutes. Prolonged terrifying incomprehensible torture.

Ohio saw it & said: "Now we want to do that too."

Breaking News: St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell has filed a Motion to Vacate Marcellus William's conviction!

BREAKING: St. Louis County @stlcopa has filed a motion to vacate Marcellus Williams' murder conviction, urging the state not to move forward with an execution until new evidence of his innocence is presented in court. https://t.co/R0ITPUTarj

NEW: While the Mayor says there's no solitary confinement, Tamara's son Brandon died in solitary in a shower cage. Now City Council must end it.

“I couldn’t save my son’s life but if I can help save another person’s life, that is so important to me.”

Los Angeles DA George Gascón struck what has long been a third rail in reform debates, even among people who agree that mass incarceration is a problem: questioning very lengthy sentences for people who commit violent crimes. https://t.co/YT4qVkwIL9

[Jordan Smith @chronic_jordan]

"Public confidence in the justice system is restored, not undermined, when a prosecutor is accountable for a wrongful or constitutionally infirm conviction,” StL Co prosecutor Wesley Bell wrote in a motion seeking to vacate Marcellus Williams' conviction

Last week survivors of human trafficking gifted DA Price a beautiful quilt that represents their vision for a better future. They were clear — DA Price stands with them, not with perpetrators of violence as the recall campaign tries to convince us.

[Pamela Price @thepeoplesda]

"Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price is indeed charging cases that come to her with the proper evidence and policing protocols followed."

In the last few days recall proponents have received over $2OOK in donations. We are calling on all of our supporters to donate to the "Protect The Win" Campaign to ensure we keep the peoples DA Pamela Price in office.

[Taniel @Taniel]

Believe it or not, Los Angeles was one of the counties that sentenced the most people to death in the nation until 2020.

The new DA hasn't sought the death penalty since, and has gotten 29 people on death row resentenced. https://t.co/eMIULvjSOA

[Bolts @boltsmag]

“I wanted to make sure that this was not going to be just a bunch of political promises,” Los Angeles DA George Gascón said of his reforms. On his first day in office, he announced a suite of policies that upended the status quo. https://t.co/YT4qVkwaVB

[Pamela Price @thepeoplesda]

The People's DA.

[Taniel @Taniel]

Los Angeles' DA Gascon unveiled blanket policies to not seek some sentences (LWOP, death).

That approach tripped up past reformers (think Dukakis in 1988), but Gascon gambled times have changed.

@PiperSFrench looks at whether they have. Big new piece: https://t.co/eMIULvjkZ2

[Pamela Price @thepeoplesda]

Just like in Los Angeles, the Alameda County Prosecutors Association has been leading the charge to undermine DA Price’s administration & the will of the people from Day 1.

[Pamela Price @thepeoplesda]

More tech and real estate money being funneled into this undemocratic recall which will cost Alameda County taxpayers $20M.

We need to send a clear message to the world that Alameda County is not for sale to the highest bidder!

Supporters of Recall Pamela Price, aka Reviving the Bay Area, the Recall's 2nd finance arm designed to hide affluent funders for as long as possible, just gave Recall $125K and also late reported several big contributions this month. If correct, the Price Recall surpasses $1 MM.

[Monique H. Worrell @MoniqueHWorrell]

It was an absolute honor to participate in FIU’s Speaker Series with Black Women in the Law! It was an honor to join Prosecutorial Policy Director Melba Pearson as she moderated our conversation on prosecution and the future of criminal justice reform.

[Pamela Price @thepeoplesda]

Our campaign raised $49,320 in Q4 from 248 donors.

That's an $198 per donor.

The other side average per donor exceeds $5,000.

We're up against millionaires who care more about property values than they do public safety.

In order for us to disrupt the construction of new prisons, we must disrupt the work of those who design them. Join our fight at https://t.co/Hz2qbEJb85.
