“Art was my daily escape. It allowed me to live in the world that I was creating. The prison was short one inmate because, in my mind, I wasn’t there.”
-Roger Dean Gillispie, Ohio Innocence Project

Prosecuted for the same crime twice??? That's taking "due process" to a whole other place...
The Fifth Amendment's protection against double jeopardy -- being prosecuted more than once for the same crime -- has eroded due to Supreme Court decisions back in 1959. A new case that's been appealed gives the Court an opportunity to rectify that mistake.
I already posted about this, but I just can't get over it... "Kitty Litter Kingpin." I'd be so embarrassed if I was the deputy on scene. Just goes to show, field tests for drugs are junk!

Triumphs (hardly) and Tribulations (mostly): Harris County - A year in review
As ye olde saying goes, the wheels of justice move slowly—but at least in Harris County this year, somebody must have kicked the donkey. 2016 was full of criminal justice reform proposals — and also criminal justice lawsuits.
