Was anyone going to tell me that curb your enthusiasm saved a man from being put on death row

klapollo

The long and short of it is that the man's alibi was that he was at a dodgers game at the time of the murder, but there was no incontrovertible evidence that would concretely prove he was there. Footage of the crowd from the game broadcast was too low resolution to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that a man that seemed to be him was actually him.

As it would turn out, curb your enthusiasm had been filming that episode there that same day, and Larry David happened to be sitting in that man's section for the scene, filming it all with television cameras close up. There was even a brief moment in the footage where you can see him by chance walking with his daughter in the background. This is the kind of luck you can't imagine in a million years.

aw-dag

How fucking insane to have death penalty as the punishment when the justice system clearly could not prove he was at the scene of the crime. & what broken system demands you to prove you were elsewhere rather than the system having to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that you were the perpetrator

This feels like a good time for me to get on my soapbox and let you all know that California has the largest death row in the Western Hemisphere. 95% of all first-degree murder charges are eligible for the death penalty in California, meaning prosecutors have virtually unlimited discretion to seek death. Among the special circumstances that make a homicide death eligible are felony murder (and the law only recently changed to disallow, say, a getaway driver in a robbery from being sentenced to death for a murder his co-conspirator committed) and murder by the use of poison.

The result is that a penalty ostensibly designed for the "worst of the worst" is most frequently applied in a racially discriminatory manner.

Read more about California's broken death penalty here (scroll to the section labeled "Reassessing California's Death Penalty: Time for a Change" because tumblr wouldn't let me attach the link to the PDF):

not seeing the right OR the liberals talking much about trey reed, but they cant shut the fuck up about charlie kirk and saying charlie didnt deserve that

so anyway trey reed was a black student found lynched at delta state university, with both his arms and legs broken, and theyre ruling it as a suicide.

that was not a suicide. that was a murder. suicidal people dont break both arms and legs first before hanging themselves.

anyway lets talk about this instead of a fucking nazi pussy bitch who got exactly what he preached

The decision follows conservative backlash to a comment the late-night host made about Charlie Kirk.

🚨UPDATE ON THE HANDALA🚨

The Israeli occupation has just boarded the vessel

The Handala has been live on YouTube and Instagram to update us on the situation. I have transcribed two parts of the livestream bellow (this was before the occupation boarded the vessel).

First transcript begins with a message from the IDF to the Handala. As this was broadcasted through the radio, I was unable to understand the full message, but here you go, transcription of the IDF transmission plus the response from the activists on board:

“… If you do not change your course, the IDF will be forced to respond and take measures. In accordance to international law (…) You will be held accountable for the consequences of your actions and you may be subject to (…)”

“Israeli navi, this is the civilian vessel Handala. Let me give you a lesson in international law. Any blockade that deliberately starves a civilian population is a violation of international law. It is not only that, it is a warcrime. You have no legal authority to enforce an unlawful blockade and as such, you have no authority to use force — to enforce — an unlawful blockade. Therefore we demand that you stand down. You are responsible for the wellbeing of every civilian on board this vessel. As an occupying power in Gaza, you are responsible for the health and wellbeing of the civilian population there. Not only have you disregarded that obligation, but you are actively exterminating the people. You have engineered a famine. You are deliberately starving civilians and children before the eyes of the world. our vessel does not constitute any threat to you. We carry only humanitarian aid. And therefore you have no authority to intercept or otherwise attack our vessel. We demand again that you stand down.”

Second transcript, a few minutes later: the activists aboard the Handala trying to contact the Israeli occupation with the following message (no response came):

“Israeli navi, again, this is Handala. Again, we are a civilian vessel and we are sailing lawfully in international waters where you have no jurisdiction. We are sailing from international waters to Palestinian territorial waters where you have no lawful jurisdiction. Your claim to enforce a maritime blockade is rejected. You have no authority to enforce a blockade that is deliberately starving civilians. Any blockade that starves civilians or has a disproportianal harmful effect on a civilian population is illegal and therefore you have no authority to enforce an illegal blockade and as such you are not permitted to use any kind of force to enforce an illegal blockade. We demand that you stand down. Do not attack this civilian vessel that is carrying only humanitarian aid. Why are you afraid of baby formula and teddy bears that are destined for the children of Gaza? You spew your propaganda about Hamas but this vessel carries food and baby formula for children that your government is deliberately starving. Your blockade is deliberately starving children to death. You have no authority to enforce an illegal blockade. This is a warcrime. You are responsible for the health, wellbeing and safety of all civilians aboard this vessel and any attack on us is a violation of international law which you will be held accountable by the international community. Again, we are a civilian vessel, constitute no threat to you. Do not attack this vessel, do not board our vessel, do not obstruct our path to Gaza. Handala out.”

I have screenrecorded parts of the livestream to make these transcripts, Tumblr will only let me post one video at a time and it takes a while for videos to come online here. Time the crew of the Handala does not have.

All eyes on deck. All eyes on Palestine.

Talk about the Handala, talk about Freedom Floatila. Contact your government and demand the release of the hostages kidnapped in international waters.

By the way, the prosecution just violated Luigi Mangione's HIPAA rights and I have not seen people talking much about it

Attorneys for Luigi Mangione, the man accused of killing United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson, say Manhattan prosecutors wrongfully obtained

holy crap, the judge said the violation’s bad enough that, if it’s true, he might end up dismissing the charges against Mangione outright

THE FUCKING ICE REPORT AAAAAAAAAAA

str-ngeloop

https://americandragnet.org/

One of two American adults is in a law enforcement face recognition database. An investigation.

https://americandragnet.org/

"When you think about government surveillance in the United States, you likely think of the National Security Agency or the FBI. You might even think of a powerful police agency, such as the New York Police Department. But unless you or someone you love has been targeted for deportation, you probably don’t immediately think of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

This report argues that you should. Our two-year investigation, including hundreds of Freedom of Information Act requests and a comprehensive review of ICE’s contracting and procurement records, reveals that ICE now operates as a domestic surveillance agency. Since its founding in 2003, ICE has not only been building its own capacity to use surveillance to carry out deportations but has also played a key role in the federal government’s larger push to amass as much information as possible about all of our lives. By reaching into the digital records of state and local governments and buying databases with billions of data points from private companies, ICE has created a surveillance infrastructure that enables it to pull detailed dossiers on nearly anyone, seemingly at any time. "

"Most Americans probably do not imagine that their information is captured by ICE’s surveillance networks. In fact, ICE has used face recognition technology to search through the driver’s license photographs of around 1 in 3 (32%) of all adults in the U.S. The agency has access to the driver’s license data of 3 in 4 (74%) adults and tracks the movements of cars in cities home to nearly 3 in 4 (70%) adults. When 3 in 4 (74%) adults in the U.S. connected the gas, electricity, phone or internet in a new home, ICE was able to automatically learn their new address. Almost all of that has been done warrantlessly and in secret."
