    My client walked out of Rikers Island today after a jury acquitted him of all charges. He waited in jail for his trial for 3 years. He lost his job and missed his son’s first 3 birthdays simply because he couldn’t afford bail. He’s not unique - THIS IS OUR SYSTEM.

    When we take a breath and let bail reform achieve its intended effect of letting people live their lives while presumed innocent, we get great stories like these: folks who remain productive, care for their families, go to work, finish school, etc., all while fighting their case.

    Truth is greater than fear: “They say rollback! We’re not having that!” Advocates, lawmakers, defenders, & directly impacted people rallied in NYC on Friday to denounce efforts by the Trump administration & NYPD to rollback NY’s bail reform—with Mayor de Blasio’s tacit approval.

    THREAD Since NY’s historic pretrial reforms were implemented on Jan 1st, 400+ clients we represent in the Bronx have been able to return to their families, jobs, education, and community while fighting their cases.

    For David, bail reform meant being home to witness the birth of his daughter. Through all the ups & downs of his case, reform meant all the difference for him in getting to hold his new daughter the hospital and being there for his family for a moment they’ll never get back.

    A judge in Pennsylvania sentenced a 36-year-old woman w/ stage 4 uterine cancer to 10 months in jail for shoplifting $109 worth of groceries. On the day she was sentenced, she was scheduled to meet w/ her doctor to discuss a last-ditch treatment effort.

    This is the system working as it is intended to work.

    Jordan Evans, a Black teenager, was expelled from his high school in Clayton, Ohio, last week, after his teacher claimed he "smelled like marijuana." Jordan was searched and did not have any weed on him and also passed two drug tests.

    When I assert that America’s CJ system has utterly lost its moral compass—and make no mistake, that is what I assert—it’s because I believe the evidence demonstrates conclusively that incidents like this are not anecdotal but systematic.

    some prosecutors have campaigned on & rolled out policies of declining to prosecute shoplifting cases that are 'taken out of necessity'. a striking illustration of the punitive machine that makes such policies important.

    Those of us who work in the criminal legal system have a higher duty to tell the truth about our role in inequity & injustice -- to be forthright when we do not see our spaces as clearly as those caught up in it.

    How do people with discretion allow this to happen? Thx for showing the dynamics that allow mass incarceration to happen

    It's 2020, no one should be behind bars on marijuana charges. Michael Thompson can spend the rest of his life behind bars just for selling weed. This isn't justice, this isn't keeping anyone safe. Please RT and write a letter to Gov. Whitmer here:

    Michigan pot shops sold $10 million worth of marijuana in the first six weeks it was legal to sell weed in the state. Also, Michael Thompson has served 25 years of a 60-year sentence for selling weed in Michigan. , grant his clemency request!

    6 people suspected of participating in drug sales were released. Presumed innocent. The substance recovered has not yet been identified by lab results. The men did not have criminal records, were accompanied by family in court, & surrendered passports. Stop fearmongering.

    Like the clients I represented, public defenders are often written off by the oppressive systems they are fighting against. Being told by the incumbent DA that I wasn’t a “real lawyer” only further reminded me why I am in this race. We deserve better. I am better.
