"To Lentini and others who have worked on wrongful convictions, the case against Taylor is a version of an all-too-familiar story. In the absence of reliable forensic evidence, prosecutors put together a circumstantial case that can convince a jury a defendant is capable of murder, even if the science does not add up. In cases where a child has died, which are especially emotionally charged, it does not take much to cast parents or caretakers in a suspicious light. Mothers who escape a fire without their children are often judged harshly for that fact alone — and those with a checkered past are easier still to demonize, especially when the state can show that they were guilty of fraud. In the case of Angela Garcia, a Cleveland woman tried three times for killing her daughters in a fire, prosecutors seized on evidence of financial fraud to win a conviction and life sentence despite the fact that there was no reliable evidence of arson. Her sentencing judge accused her of treating her daughters “like coins in a slot machine.”

The only ‘professional failure’ was one of being caught.

In other circumstances Israel would have denied everything. A shame journalists reported things - but don’t worry the country is doing its best to kill them all and may well go overseas to carry on removing the ‘pests’.

@umamiaf in fact, this is a prime example why "#DeathPenalty" aka state-endorsed #murder needs to be abolished globally and why #NoHumanIsIllegal!

Not to mention #ForcedDisappearance in and of itself is inherently #facist and any government that does soo needs to be purged out of existance!

Today in Labor History April 18, 1912: The governor of West Virginia called out the National Guard against striking coal miners. As a result, fifty people were killed. His action marked the beginning of the West Virginia Mine Wars, initiating one of the most violent strikes in the nation's history. Because of their isolation and geography, the West Virginia mine owners were able to dominate the miners more than almost any other employer in the nation. They hired gun thugs from the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency, who routinely murdered miners and evicted their families from the company towns. On April 18, thousands of miners went on strike in Paint Creek, Cabin Creek and in surrounding counties. Many were armed with hunting rifles to defend themselves against the company thugs. Mother Jones and Socialist Party members came to support the miners.

The struggle that began today in 1912 continued for decades and included the Battle of Matewan and the Battle of Blair Mountain, the largest armed insurrection since the Civil War, and the largest labor uprising in U.S. history. 10,000-15,000 coal miners battled 3,000 cops, private cops and vigilantes, who were backed by the coal bosses. Up to 100 miners died in the fighting, along with 10-30 Baldwin-Felts detectives and three national guards. Nearly 1,000 people were arrested. One million rounds were fired. And the government bombed striking coal miners by air, using homemade bombs and poison gas left over from World War I. This was the second time the government had used planes to bomb its own citizens within the U.S. (the first was against African American during the Tulsa pogrom, earlier that same year).

B'Tselem בצלם : On 19 Jan. 2025, Israeli soldiers entered the Palestinian village of Sabastiya near Nablus & fired several shots in the air. Some teens gathered behind a wall & aimed toy lasers at them. When 14-year-old Ahmad Jazar peeked out with his toy, the soldiers shot and killed him. Then they left.
Since the war in Gaza began, the military has increased its deliberate “friction” with residents of the West Bank, including raids on communities with no clear operational goal.
