No one should be in jail just for using or possessing marijuana, it’s legal in many states, and criminal records for marijuana possession have led to needless barriers to employment, housing, and educational opportunities. And that’s before you address the racial disparities around who suffers the consequences. While white and Black and brown people use marijuana at similar rates, Black and brown people are arrested, prosecuted, and convicted at disproportionate rates. – Joe Biden	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Kisses, touching – even glances became punishable by law. Tens of thousands were accused of homosexuality. This alone was often enough to ruin their social life and existence, more than half of these men were convicted, usually to serve long prison sentences or forced labor. In some cases, men were forced to undergo sterilization. Many were driven to suicide. – Baerbel Bas	Found on CNN 1 year ago
[ Trump ] is a newsworthy and historical figure that has not been convicted of any crime, and if Meta is dedicated to the same kind of free speech values that Twitter is, then they would likely let Donald Trump back on, the big question is about network incitement … there’s no other technology in which a politician or political operative could incite such fervor as openly as they were able to do for January 6, and the technology has n’t changed in any significant way that would prevent something like this from happening again. – Joan Donovan	Found on CNN 1 year ago
I can at least say with Latino voters, we've never tried as a party. The Democratic Party has not tried in terms of Latino electorates. And, I mean, where's our Dream Act, where is our immigration reform. And even recently with President Biden's marijuana executive order, I very much applaud that President Biden went there, but President Biden exempted people who were convicted if they were convicted while they were undocumented. – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez	Found on FOX News 1 year ago

The affidavit that was filed in this case was egregious, and wrong, and had so many misstatements that carried it through to preliminary hearing where more lies and perjury were committed in order to get Mr. Morphew wrongfully convicted. – Iris Eytan	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
This is a scandal that thepolitical Left is doing everything in its power to suppress, the basic fact is incontrovertible: every day, a public school teacher is arrested, indicted, or convicted for child sex abuse. And yet, the teachers unions, the public school bureaucracies, and the left-wing media pretend that the abuse isn't happening and viciously attack families who raise concerns. – Christopher Rufo	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
The trial court allowed the State of Georgia unlimited use of bad character evidence, which we objected to all along, this is exactly how innocent people are wrongly convicted. – Maddox Kilgore	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
I was very disappointed there wasn’t one mention of starting to refocus and strategically target persons that are carrying guns illegally, especially previously convicted felons and persons on probation or parole, as that should be the backbone of any anti-violence program in Philadelphia, but since he’s taken office, we’ve seen a significant reduction in prosecutions in general and for persons carrying guns illegally. I think that’s counterproductive for a time when the city of Philadelphia is setting records for gun-related homicides and shootings. – Joe Sullivan	Found on FOX News 1 year ago
Usma Acosta is a convicted cold-blooded killer who thought Usma Acosta could evade justice by entering the United States and creating a new identity for Usma Acosta so Usma Acosta could live under the radar. Usma Acosta needs to face justice for what Usma Acosta did, and today's arrest ensures that Usma Acosta will. – Joseph Bonavolonta	Found on CNN 2 years ago
Liberals are saying that Judge Jackson’s service as a criminal defense lawyer and then on the U.S. Sentencing Commission give her special empathy for convicted criminals, i guess that means that government prosecutors and innocent crime victims start each trial at a disadvantage. – Mitch McConnell	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
It is unacceptable that a taxpayer-funded university is giving a platform to a convicted cop killer — yet another sad example of New York leaders making bad decisions in support of criminals rather than their victims. – Harry Wilson	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
In 1971, he was convicted in the killing of two New York City Police Officers. He spent nearly 50 years in prison for this crime before being released on parole in 2020. – Diane Piagentini	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
You've got a body of people, I think, who are waiting and seeing... The risk of that is a prosecutor who's gone to a trial and convicted somebody of obstruction now knows he has a good case, i would think a conviction in that first case would inspire people to try to reach deals in their cases. – Michael Zeldin	Found on CNN 2 years ago
We need to talk about two State Antony Blinken citizens, Paul Whelan and Trevor Reed, who were tourists in Russia, were arrested, convicted without credible evidence, and we again ask Russia to do the right thing and let them come home. – Antony Blinken	Found on CNN 2 years ago

You can not do it like this, you have to do it the right way,' there's a lot of pressure on survivors to do the' correct thing' and press charges and try to have the perpetrator convicted, but the' right way' isn't working, the vast majority of cases, they don't even make it to the judge. So they don't get any judgment on whether the perpetrator is guilty or not. It's just a mess. – Steinunn Guðjónsdóttir	Found on CNN 2 years ago
