Notes

With Alvarez facing a tight race in the March 15 Democratic primary, her office is going public with such promises for more transparency, and proclaiming in political ads its history of prosecuting cops. In defense of Alvarez, Daly and Kirk pointed to the nearly 100 officers from Cook County who have been charged by the state’s attorney’s office in cases ranging from official misconduct, to perjury, to battery and improper use of a firearm. A prosecutor is also often the only public official standing between a defendant and prison time. Trump presented the department with an “arsenal of allegations,” none of them true, said Richard Donoghue, another top official who testified Thursday. Should the Department of Justice, which Attorney General Loretta Lynch heads, collect data on what prosecutors do? That means, for example, that prosecutors can no longer file a felony charge just because someone possesses cocaine. Smith said. Areas it can affect include the skin, joints, kidneys, heart and blood vessels. Really sorry to hear of the passing of the great Bruton Smith.
Bilas previously had mentioned Smith and Holmgren, the rail-thin 7-footer who averaged 14.1 points and 3.7 blocks per game in his first year for the Zags, in the same breath as two former league MVPs. There were two little-known but stunning upsets during the Super Tuesday II elections on March 15: Anita Alvarez lost her bid for reelection for state's attorney of Cook County, Illinois, and Tim McGinty lost his reelection bid for county prosecutor in Cuyahoga, County. I don't have that ability to do just one or two a day,' he said of his past smoking habit. But Chun birdied seven of eight holes during one stretch. Statewide, there are just so many things; it'd be very hard for me to cite one. Masks are even tougher to find. 오피가니 But prosecutors play an even bigger role in the prosecutions of civilians - and the evidence shows they have leveraged that power to perpetuate mass incarceration. But it also means prosecutors can no longer threaten people with a big felony charge for cocaine possession to scare them into settling for a plea deal with less prison time or probation. Amazingly, it was the second time Fuentes saved the swimmer after she was filmed diving in and pulling her to safety when she fainted in the pool during an Olympics qualifying event in Barcelona last year.

Alvarez drew a serious challenge to her reelection bid after she failed for more than a year to prosecute the Chicago police officer who in October 2014 shot and killed 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. Films on Plan B's roster this year include the release of Andrew Dominik's "Blonde," an NC-17 biographical drama starring Ana de Armas as Marilyn Monroe, and Sarah Polley's long-awaited drama "Women Talking," an adaptation of Miriam Toews's novel. Furthermore, none of those cases even prompted Alvarez to release documents-or, apparently, craft them at all-laying out why charges were declined. 오피가니 Daniel Kirk and Sally Daly of the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office explained that other than a few internal memos, there is no documentation of the decisions to decline charges against the officers involved in those 68 shootings that have occurred during Alvarez’s tenure. Even after the outrage of how Chicago deliberately hid the dashcam video showing Laquan McDonald’s death, Alvarez’s office largely escaped scrutiny about how it investigates officer-involved shootings; the focus instead has been mostly on Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office, the Chicago Police Department, and Independent Police Review Authority, none of whom can criminally charge officers. Alvarez charged officer Jason Van Dyke with murder for McDonald’s death, but the controversy surrounding the shooting forced Chicago’s top prosecutor to recognize that in-depth explanations of police shootings may now be a requirement of the job.

With media outlets now recording every arrest-related death, marking perhaps the most complete accounting of homicides related to law enforcement the country has ever known, scrutiny of those deaths is now easy to come by. COVID-19 has killed almost 18,000 people in Alabama, giving the state the nation's fourth-highest rate of deaths relative to population. McGinty, meanwhile, was challenged after he didn't land criminal charges against the Cleveland police officer who in 2014 shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice, or a conviction against a Cleveland police officer who in 2012 shot and killed Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams. None of them prompted a press conference explaining why no charges would be filed against the officers involved in those cases. On Dec. 4, Alvarez explained at a nationally televised press conference that the death of Ronald Johnson at the hands of police was justified and there was no evidence to bring about charges.
