How can this be right?

Incredibly upsetting and infuriating news- this serves as an example of how perpetrators can use the criminal justice system as a further mechanism to torment and prolonge abuse. Perpetrators appeal, prolonge court proceedings, disengage from listening to victim impact statements, and refuse to appear for sentencing to rob victims and their families of witnessing this form of ‘justice’. In far too many cases, my own included, the criminal justice process can be almost as traumatising as the abuse itself, mirroring the same themes of disempowerment, lack of control, and abuse of power. As ever standing in solidarity with all victims/survivors, and sending love to all triggered by these headlines 🤍 https://lnkd.in/eNiernw4

Important decisions today from the Supreme Court confirming that the proposed “rule against ungrounded common-sense assumptions” should not be recognized as giving rise to an error of law. Lots of helpful guidance in the decision about the assessment of credibility and reliability of a witness’ evidence, what role common sense plays in that assessment, and when and what basis an appellate court can intervene with respect to credibility findings. In particular, in rejecting the proposed rule, the Court noted: “The proposed rule thereby drastically expands the scope of permissible questioning into a complainant’s sexual history, effectively requiring both parties to apply, pursuant to Seaboyer (at p. 619) or s. 276 of the Code , to adduce “other sexual activity” evidence that may not otherwise be relevant to the main issues in the case or permitted to make its way into the trial at all. It opens a back door to prohibited twin-myth reasoning insofar as, in the process of “grounding” the trial judge’s findings about her testimony, evidence of the complainant’s sexual history may be treated as logically probative of her credibility or consent. Although framed in terms of ensuring “equal” treatment for accused in these cases, this approach in fact risks resurrecting the very prejudice against sexual assault complainants that the law on myths and stereotypes was designed to eliminate.”

Merchan cannot jail Trump. He has carefully navigated the minefield, but now seems trapped. A potential (not great) out would be to impose an ankle monitor and a court appointed minder. But that would also feed foxite rage. -- THE solution? Crank up the fines! "Interpret" the standard $1000 fine as a PERCENTAGE of an average person's income or wealth. Fine him $500,000 per event, based on DT's own, declared "I'm SO rich" brayings. It's possible (barely) that the appeals courts will rule it okay under principles of equity. But even if not, it'll still give DT pause. And give Merchan TIME... and at least the appearance of being in command of his courtroom. https://lnkd.in/g-ZGGvSv

We must enact a statewide use of force policy for police in New Mexico. Police killings across the state are too often far from justified and are the tragic result of policy choices that give police too much power, roles that are too expansive, and little accountability. https://lnkd.in/gNfQR2E4

1 - The Supreme Court needs term limits and more seats; 2 - Several Supreme Court (in)Justices are making rulings that benefit money hoarders, racists, bigots and misogynists; 3 - white identifying people are a protected class in the United States who literally are allowed to terrorize the U.S., tear down the Capitol building doors and carry fully functional pipe bombs into the government offices, beat officers, weaken this nation’s global security, disregard democracy, and attempt (violently) to overthrow the government without the fear of death at the hands of the police; 4 - if people who do not identify as white had done what the Jan 6 traitors/ terrorists have done to our democracy - many never would have made it to a trial - they would have been shot dead on Jan 6. 5 - if people who do not identify as white had done what the Jan 6 traitors/ terrorists have done to our democracy - the Supreme Court would have ruled to let the Jan 6 charges stand.
