Here in America, the number of people we choose to incarcerate makes up 25% of the world's prison population. And that statistic was driven by mainly by state and local “tough on crime” prosecutors. Prosecutors have a huge amount of power and control over who get criminally charged, who doesn't, what crimes get pursued, and what crimes get ignored, who gets a plea bargain, and who gets denied or offered rehabilitative diversion programs.  If you want to change the system the fastest way is to become a reform District Attorney. But while that may be popular with the majority of voters in some areas, even these officials face a ton of well-funded resistance. In this episode, Justin Kollar, who has been working as and for the Reform Prosecutor Movement since 2012 joins host Mary Whiteside to discuss the ways prosecutors can use their power to advance justice and divert resources to truly help communities and make them safer.  Find us @courtpod on Twitter and May it Displease the Court on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and Clapper Drop an email at mayitdispleasethecourt@gmail.com.  We would also love to rate and review the show.

Bud Light has been subject to what many are calling the single most successful boycott in history! And they're crying uncle! The executives at Anheuser-Busch are indeed officially admitting defeat.  Another Soros-backed DA is getting kicked out and Fox News might get banned in Canada.   Highlights:  ●      “The Daily Mail is reporting that in a first-quarter meeting call with investors, Anheuser-Busch CEO Michel Doukeris, in their words, ‘unceremoniously disowned the disastrous Dylan Mulvaney stunt –  insisting it was 'not a campaign', an official ad campaign approved from the top.” ●      “Things are so bad that Bud Light is actually offering their distributers free beer to help offset the purchasing plunge. I'm not sure how that's going to help anything, given that no one's buying the beer in the first place, it's just going to take up more room with supply for which there's no demand!” ●      “It's being widely reported here that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has opened a public consultation on a complaint from an LGBTQ rights group to ban Fox News from Canadian cable television.” ●      “What red states like Missouri are doing is they're starting to transfer the way Circuit Attorneys are installed. Rather than getting directly elected by city residents, who keep putting in these Soros-backed leftist radicals, they're going to be appointed either by the governor or by the state District Attorney, and that way, we can finally put an end to all of these radical leftist DAs who are enforcing a de facto anarcho-tyranny on their respective populations.”    Timestamps:    [04:52] How the executives at Anheuser-Busch are distancing themselves to the Dylan Mulvaney stunt [12:00] On Bud Light doubling or tripling their ad spend for the summer [17:06] Why Canada may end up banning Fox News [22:47] How another Soros-backed DA is getting kicked out [27:45] Q&A Resources:  ●      Start the 24/7 Protection of Your Home and Equity Today!

Full Hour | Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by updating the Harrisburg vote on the potential ban of supervised injection sites in the state of Pennsylvania, explaining that the vote has now passed Senate and sits waiting for a congressional approval before making its way to Josh Shapiro's desk. Then, Dom updates other instances of debate in Harrisburg, offering an update on the Krasner impeachment and playing back a clip from a House member who argued in favor of punishing doctors who refuse to perform gender reassignment surgery on minors. Then, Dom welcomes in Camden County Police Chief Gabriel Rodriguez onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss how he and others leading the police department have revolutionized the City's crime rate, lowering it to levels that many never expected. First, Dom and Rodriguez discuss the Chief's history a bit, with Rodriguez telling of his childhood in the City of Camden. Then, Dom asks Rodriguez about the notion of ‘community policing,' with Rodriguez laying out the relationships that his officers share with the City residents and the repeated help that residents provide in giving information that leads to accountability. Then, Dom and the Chief delve into his call for more cameras in the City, with Dom questioning the potential invasion of privacy that comes with such an initiative. Finally, the Chief takes Giordano through his relationship with both federal agencies and his equivalent of the District Attorney in the County Prosecutor, and the importance of a good relationship for seeing results in an effort like the one in Camden.

Attorney Justin Brooks is known for the extensive legal work he has done over many years to overturn wrongful criminal convictions. He has dedicated his career to this cause and currently serves as the Director and Co-Founder of the California Innocence Project. He has practiced in the area of criminal defense in many states, including Michigan and Illinois. He has also taught courses at Georgetown Law Center and Thomas M. Cooley Law School and is presently a tenured professor at California Western School of Law. Justin Brooks is also the author of the only legal case book focused on the topic of wrongful convictions.Justin has received a number of accolades throughout his career, including the designation as one of the Top 100 Lawyers in California by the Los Angeles Daily Journal, as well as receiving recognition as “Lawyer of the Year” in 2010 and 2012 by California Lawyer Magazine. He has also worked in Latin America to train lawyers for the past twenty years. As a co-founder of Red Inocente, an organization that is devoted to founding and supporting various innocence organizations in Latin America, he continues to devote his career to the cause of overturning wrongful criminal convictions.The Exoneration of Brian BanksJustin Brooks and The California Innocence Project worked tirelessly to overturn the wrongful conviction of Brian Banks, who was charged with rape and kidnapping after a consensual sexual encounter. At the time, Brian Banks was only seventeen years old and was widely considered to have a bright future playing football in the NFL. The false rape accusation drastically changed the course of his life, as he was faced with the difficult decision of choosing whether to proceed to trial and risk forty-one years to life in prison if found guilty or to accept a plea deal for just over five years in prison. Brian chose to accept the plea deal, which also came with the cost of destroying his dream of playing football and requiring him to register as a sex offender.Together with The California Innocence Project, attorney Justin Brooks presented evidence of Brian Banks' innocence of these crimes. Evidence in his favor included the alleged victim stating that she fabricated the story. After another review of the evidence, the District Attorney's Office agreed that Banks was wrongfully convicted; and in May of 2012, a judge of the Los Angeles Superior Court reversed his conviction.Banks' story has a particularly happy ending. After his exoneration, Justin Brooks spoke out to the press on behalf of his client and asked NFL teams to give Brian a chance at playing football. Shortly after, Brian received calls from six different NFL teams expressing interest.Ultimately, Brian Banks played for the Cincinnati Bengals during one NFL season. Though his time playing in the NFL was brief; following the 2013 football season, Brian accepted a position working for the NFL's Department of Operations in the replay center. In this position, he also helped contribute to the league's social media.Brian's story garnered such public interest that his story was made into a film which premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival in September of 2018. The movie features Academy Award-nominated actor Greg Kinnear playing the role of Professor Justin Brooks, and will premiere in the US in August 2019.

Gangbuster: One Man's Battle Against Crime, Corruption, and the Klan by Alan Prendergast https://amzn.to/3LG9MFu As gripping as it is prescient, Gangbuster is the first-ever history of the battle waged by one rookie District Attorney, Philip Van Cise, against the KKK, organized crime, and government corruption at the highest levels throughout the 1920s. One century later, in the face of contemporary society's divisiveness and fearmongering politics, the personal courage of this maverick's battle against underworld figures and a mainstream white supremacist movement is more relevant and inspiring than ever. At the height of the roaring 1920s, the ex-frontier town of Denver, Colorado, emerged from the postwar boom as the future of the American city. But the slick façade of progress and opportunity masked a murky stew of organized crime, elaborate swindles, and widespread government corruption. One man risked everything to alter the course of history. Rookie district attorney Philip Van Cise was already making national headlines for a new brand of law enforcement. Employing military intelligence tools he'd developed during the Great War—wiretapping, undercover operatives, communication intercepts—Van Cise crippled the criminal empire of Lou Blonger, an ex-lawman who had risen from petty scam artist to master of the Big Con. But Van Cise had even darker, more malevolent forces on his radar. The Ku Klux Klan had emerged as a shockingly mainstream middle-class movement, employing anti-immigration scare tactics, encouraging vigilantism, and instigating culture wars, all while claiming to protect true American values. Van Cise saw the toxic ideology for what it was: a new version of the Big Con sold as populism. Utilizing his pioneering surveillance techniques, Van Cise was determined to expose the Invisible Empire from within. Gripping and exhaustively researched, this prescient chronicle of Philip Van Cise's spectacular career as a feared gangbuster taking on organized crime, the KKK, and corruption at the highest levels of government is a cautionary tale that mirrors our tumultuous times.

“We've got to protect the community but in a way that builds trust within the community,” says Don Leeth who is running for District Attorney in Monroe County, PA this Fall, beginning with the Democratic primary election which takes place on May 16. In December of 2020, Monroe County was the scene of a fatal altercation between Pennsylvania state troopers and a young man named Christian Hall. Don and Michael discuss the case and the issues it raises about the need for transparency and external investigations in cases involving police. The incident was the impetus for Don's decision to run for DA and highlights the erosion of trust between the police department and the community–particularly communities of color–and a mentality of “them versus us.” This trust must be rebuilt by addressing issues of substance abuse, juvenile reform and mental health among others. In addition to diversifying the police force, it is crucial, Don argues, to match the right professionals–such as social workers as substance abuse counselors–to the right tasks, as police are not trained for many of the challenges they are put on the front lines to face. Racial inequality is a systemic issue–not just an issue of a few bad apples, Don says. Part of making justice more equal is eliminating sanctions put in place which disproportionately affect Black and Latino communities. This includes veering away from punishing low-level drug abuse and incentivizing drug treatment programs, and reforming bail practices. Don describes the difference in the conversations he has with his own son about how to interact with the police, and the conversations his sister has with her own sons who are of mixed race. Michael explains why he keeps a “Ferguson” camera in his car in the event he is pulled over by police.  The issues facing Monroe County are issues facing counties and communities across the nation. Today's discussion expands upon the one which took place in Episode 41 of Cuckoo 4 Politics titled “Why?” which touched upon issues regarding gun control in America and its connection to race relations.    “Business as usual is the continued policies in regards to an adversarial process, in regard to our criminal justice system, where you're willing to do whatever it takes in regards to getting another notch in the belt in regards to winning a case. We have to move away from just the idea of being tough on crime and really take a look at it in regards to the societal effect.” (20:07-20:31 | Don) “When I get pulled over by a police officer, I make sure I let them know that they're on camera, just so they know.

In part 2 of this series, Sgt. Celestina Rossi and Det. Fadi Rizk shares their thoughts about the pain that must have been felt by the family of Lesia Jackson and the guilt they must have felt for leaving the swimming pool during the argument causing her death.It is often said that forgiveness is the key to unlocking inner peace and healing. It is a powerful emotion and a difficult process to go through. When a tragedy occurs, such as the murder of a family member, it can be difficult to forgive and move on. It can be even more difficult when the family believes that the perpetrator has escaped justice for years. This was the case for the family of Lesia, who was murdered 43 years ago.The family of Lesia had two brothers who were at the swimming pool when the tragedy occurred. It is believed that they had an argument with Lesia and left, leaving her alone. For 43 years, they have carried the guilt of not being there to protect her, and have not done any interviews since. It is understandable why they would feel so much guilt and remorse, and why they would not want to speak about it as it was a painful reminder of the tragedy that happened.The family had gone through the process of forgiving and moving on, but the news of the real perpetrator being found brought back all their pain and guilt. Forgiveness is an important part of healing and moving on, but it is not an easy process. It takes time, and it is often difficult to forgive when it feels like justice has not been served.Sgt. Celestina Rossi is a Crime Scene Investigator at Montgomery County Sheriff's Office in Conroe, Texas with over 21 years of law enforcement experience. She is also the President of the International Association of Bloodstain Pattern Analysts. Meanwhile, Detective Fadi Rizk is also an officer at the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office and is a member of the Cold Case Squad, responsible for all cold case investigations assisting MCSO detectives, Country and District Attorneys, as well as other law enforcement agencies.TakeawaysForgiving and moving on is a process.Never give up hope.Technology can solve crimes.ConnectCelestina Rossi: www.linkedin.com/in/celestina-rossi-b6462521Jared Bradley: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaredvbradley/DNA Retrieval: https://www.m-vac.com/Resources“Unsolved: DNA identifies killer of 12-year-old Lesia Jackson, murdered in 1979”“MCSO solvAll Things Crime is a new, comprehensive video series that will explore every aspect of crime and the ensuing investigation, one video interview at a time.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: A not so amazing dirt in your face move from Texas House legislators as they try to re-establish a bad crony tax giveaway program and in so doing, make it worse than the version that we got rid of last session. It seems Democrats want to give your money away to masses of voters and some Republicans are just as eager to give away our money to big companies. Chairman Hunter may not like people saying “Chapter 313” about his HB5 but frankly it is Chapter 313 all over again but worse as is detailed in a fine bit of reporting.Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.On handling the conviction of Army Sgt. Daniel Perry in Austin, liberals, which includes the state press and editorial boards, are trying to lead the public to believe that Governor Abbott is somehow acting outside the system and attacking our judiciary on the matter. Of course Abbott's action requesting the Board of Pardons and Paroles to look into the matter immediately is a bit “unusual” but it is so because it is unusual to have a District Attorney indict, prosecute, and convict a person for murder about whom the police who investigated the case did not even arrest him because the evidence showed it was justifiable self-defense. The lead detective in the case testified at trial for the defendant, not the D.A. That is what is unusual. It's utter hyperbole to claim, as did the editorial board at the Austin paper, that “Abbott's plan to pardon convicted killer is a threat to the judiciary” [their original headline.] We've always had a pardon process, at both the federal and state level, and usually it is liberals like those at the Statesman press for pardons. And, other news of Texas.Listen on the radio, or station stream, at 5pm Central.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: Sgt. Daniel Perry was convicted of murder on Friday, wrongly in my opinion, by an Austin jury seemingly convinced that his self-defense was only necessary because he dared turn onto Congress Avenue while driving for Uber when BLM and other radical protesters had illegally taken over the street in a riot. The Austin police detective, their top guy at the time, who investigated it was a witness not for the state but for the defense in the trial. He claims the local Soros-backed Leftist D.A. wouldn't present the full picture to the jury and hints that such may been witness tampering. Meanwhile, Governor Greg Abbott is asking the Board of Pardons and Paroles to look into it and is talking issuing a pardon for Sgt. Perry. It looks as if we need a true investigation into the District Attorney give that the top cop in the matter is alleging witness tampering. We also need people to learn from Sgt.

EPISODE 172: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:43) SPECIAL COMMENT: The Defendant - and that's got to be his only name going forward - The Defendant blows up the only thing the GOP managed to get to stick to the Democrats in years: "Defund the police!" by insisting "Defund the DOJ and FBI!" You'd think maybe somebody in the House GOP leadership wouldn't want to reemphasize the fact that The Defendant was arrested - every day between now and next January when the trial is scheduled to start. And contrary to everything you were told by every news organization, The Defendant was TOO charged with tax evasion. And The Defendant is now going to have to see his Vice President testify against him to the Special Counsel's Grand Jury, which is already hearing how The Defendant planned to seize voting machines even though his entire leadership team had already told him that there had been no foreign manipulation of them. The Defendant might get the benefit of a fake Democratic challenger to Joe Biden, as Steve Bannon sends out my former friend Bobby Kennedy Jr as a mindless stalking horse. And amazingly, government doesn't have to be like this. What the farewell address of New Zealand's Prime Minister could teach us - if only we bothered to learn anything in this country. B-Block (22:06) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: (27:12) SPECIAL COMMENT: From Tuesday's special bulletin podcast: most media missed it. The Defendant wasn't just charged with falsifying business records. He was charged with ELECTION INTERFERENCE. Plus we now have the story of an apocryphal Trump Love child to cringe over). C-Block (43:20) SPECIAL COMMENT: From Wednesday's podcast: Six hours after Judge Merchan warned The Defendant not to incite violence, The Defendant attacked the Judge, his daughter, the District Attorney, and his wife.

We will name the Red State Attorney Generals and District Attorneys who we put in office for this moment. They need to do their job and indict and bring to court the other side as vigilantly as they do to us by targeting: Trump, Bannon, Flynn, Stone and Peter Navarro. What is the matter with us? Why have we been asleep to what we need to do? GREAT AWAKENING POLITICS Everyone I knew cheered for the Asbury Revival. We still hope that spark grows into a flame. The problem with revivals is that they don't change anything till they ignite reformers. The reformers carry the revival over into institutions and the institutions are where the gates of hell operate. That is the location the ecclesia (church) is supposed to go. Why? Because “I will build My church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.” We're supposed to show up where hell sets up shop. Awakenings are revivals that have social and cultural impact BECAUSE they leave the church mountain and run over into campuses, curriculum, courts, and congress! Did you know the Second Great Awakening led to the formation of the Republican Party in 1856 and the Civil War in 1860? This Awakening will reform the Republican Party. Lincoln was hated by the South and the “Copperheads” (swamp republicans) of the North. Trump is the Lincoln of this moment. I believe bold social and political action is entirely consistent with the spirit of this current Awakening in America. Mario Murillo and I will go to each swing state with the “Fire and Glory Tour” and lay siege to the forces that seek to steal America's future. We'll work with others in each state.

It's the end of a week in which former President Donald Trump said that he would be indicted by the Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin Bragg, for a hundred-and-thirty-thousand-dollar hush-money payment to the adult-film star Stormy Daniels—and still no charge. But just the prospect of an indictment has created a furor among Trump's Republican allies in the House, who called Bragg's investigation a “sham” and the District Attorney “radical.” Jim Jordan, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, led an inquiry into the Manhattan D.A.'s office—a move that the D.A.'s general counsel called an “unlawful incursion into New York's sovereignty.” In this week's political roundtable, the New Yorker staff writers Susan B. Glasser, Jane Mayer, and Evan Osnos look at the political ramifications of the still-looming indictment, the terrifying threat of political violence, and what a Trump “perp walk” could mean.

Famed New York Attorney Bob Costello discusses his conversation with Michael Cohen back in 2018 that directly contradicts Cohen's testimony he recently gave in the New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg's investigation into Donald Trump. Costello testified yesterday as a witness in the Alvin Bragg case saying that, “after listening to Michael Cohen making statements on TV that were directly contrary to what he had told myself and my partner Jeff Citron, back in 2018, I decided that I couldn't sit on the sidelines and that I had to bring these statements to the attention of [The District Attorney's office and Trump's legal team].” Costello says that he testified to the court that Michael Cohen back in 2018, “at his most desperate moment,” as he was looking for an “escape hatch” to not spend anytime in jail, repeatedly told him and his parter Jeff Citron, that he didn't have “anything on Donald Trump.” Costello said that during this conversation Cohen was “paranoid” and “manic,” and kept saying repeatedly, ‘I don't give an F what I have to do, I will never spend a day in jail' and [Cohen] occasionally would pound the table.” Saying, “As if the message wasn't clear enough, right? Basically, Michael Cohen was saying, ‘I'm willing to lie, cheat, steal, even shoot my mother in order to stay out of jail.'” Costello comments, “do you think that a man with a mindset like that, who is contemplating suicide to escape his legal problems wouldn't give up Donald Trump if he actually had information on him at that point in time? Of course he would. Because he was desperate.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
