Our liberty, safety, and prosperity are based on the rule of law, not the rule of man or machine. However, given that the criminal justice system suffers from many efficiencies and errors, could artificial intelligence aid the efforts of police, prosecutors, and other actors tasked with protecting public safety with limited resources? Given the power of A.I. technologies to find proverbial needles in haystacks and identify patterns that would otherwise be overlooked, it is not surprising that some criminal justice agencies are already deploying these tools. How can we harness the potential benefits while also ensuring that our liberty and privacy are not compromised? This discussion will feature experts in both the law and technology to help us sort though these questions and identify policies and practices that promote innovation while ensuring constitutional rights are protected.

Holley, First Assistant District Attorney, Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office, Conroe Texas Patrick Robinson, Owner, VSV Leadership Jesse Rothman, Senior Fellow, Council on Criminal Justice Hon. Scott U. Schlegel, Judge, Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal, State of Louisiana (Moderator) Marc Levin, Chief Policy Counsel, Council on Criminal Justice; Senior Advisor, Right on Crime -- Related Readings --

A tragic incident in Lower Pottsgrove Township, Pennsylvania, has left a community in shock as an 84-year-old man, Barton Seltmann, stands accused of fatally striking his wife, Margaret Seltmann, 85, during a heated argument over money allocated for their cat's veterinary care.    The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office issued a press release detailing the disturbing events that unfolded in the Seltmann household. On Tuesday at 2:26 p.m., police responded to a 911 call made by Barton Seltmann, leading them to the couple's residence.    Upon arrival, officers encountered a harrowing scene. Barton Seltmann was found on the back porch of their home, his hands, face, and clothing smeared with blood. Tragically, inside the residence, Margaret Seltmann was discovered, described by officials as "obviously deceased."    An investigation revealed the shocking turn of events that transpired during the argument. The couple, locked in a dispute over financial matters related to their cat's veterinary expenses, saw tensions escalate. During this heated exchange, Barton Seltmann allegedly struck his wife multiple times in the head while she lay on the kitchen floor.    The Montgomery County Coroner's Office determined the cause of Margaret Seltmann's death as blunt force injuries to the head, classifying it as a homicide.    Barton Seltmann now faces serious charges, including first-degree murder and third-degree murder. He is currently in custody without bail at the Montgomery County Correctional Facility.    The investigation uncovered a small kitchen knife and shards of glass from a candle jar beneath the victim's body, shedding light on the tragic and violent nature of the incident.    Remarkably, their beloved cat, a source of the initial disagreement, is now being cared for by a family member, as confirmed by the DA's Office in a Facebook comment.    The case has taken a deeply troubling turn as relatives of the accused reported concerns about Barton Seltmann's mental state in the weeks preceding the fatal confrontation. They revealed that Margaret had expressed worries that her husband was suffering from dementia.    "In the last five or six weeks, Margaret said he was suffering from dementia, he wasn't remembering things. Like if he went somewhere, he didn't remember where he was at and things, and she was concerned about it," shared Barton's sister-in-law, Sandy Seltmann.    Barton's brother, Ron Seltmann, described the couple as happy, with a marriage spanning over 30 years. However, the argument took a violent turn when Margaret allegedly brandished a knife and threatened to kill her husband. According to Barton's account to investigators, he reacted by pushing a chair towards his wife, causing her to fall and hit her head on the floor. Subsequently, he reportedly punched her and struck her head with a candleholder.    Tragically, during the altercation, Margaret allegedly uttered the chilling words, "You're killing me," before, as the probable cause affidavit states, she "went to sleep."    This heartbreaking incident serves as a stark reminder of the importance of conflict resolution and mental health awareness within families, as a simple argument escalated into a devastating tragedy that will forever impact the lives of those involved.

Authorities have identified the woman who was shot and killed while she waited at a Dunkin' drive-thru Tuesday morning while her 11-year-old son was in the vehicle. The Montgomery County District Attorney's Office said 35-year-old Rachel King of Elkins Park was shot multiple times while behind the wheel of her SUV. It happened around 7:40 a.m. in Cheltenham Twp. According to investigators, King was driving westbound on Cheltenham Avenue when she turned into the Melrose Shopping Center, then pulled into a line of traffic in the Dunkin' drive-thru lane. The D.A.'s office said a light-colored sedan, possibly a Ford or Mercury, was seen driving directly behind King. District Attorney Kevin Steele said this appears to be a targeted murder. He said the suspect did not try to open the door or communicate with King before firing. King was a teacher at Grover Cleveland Elementary School in the Mastery charter school system in Tioga-Nicetown.. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Cheltenham Township Police Department at 215-885-1600 (extension 400) or Montgomery County Detectives at 610-226-5553. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/leah-gordone/support

Laura interviews award winning investigative journalist Nicki Weisensee Egan. For years Nicki was the one reporter who investigated Bill Cosby. Nicki documented her investigation in the book Chasing Cosby, which was the basis for her award winning podcast of the same name. More than sixty women made allegations against Cosby across the years. In December 2015, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office announced it had filed an aggravated incident assault charge in Andrea Constand's case. It took nearly three years and two trials to convict Cosby. He was sentenced to 3-10 years. When Cosby was convicted in 2018, many considered the jury's decision a landmark in the movement to hold alleged sexual predators accountable. However, in July 2021 Cosby's conviction was vacated and he was discharged from prison. Laura and Nicki discuss how and why this happened and the latest in the case. You won't want to miss this.

In 2018 Bill Cosby was convicted of sexual assault for drugging and molesting Andrea Constand in 2004.  In the summer of 2021, the Pennsylvania Court of Appeals not only reversed the conviction, but instructed the trial court and the Montgomery County DA that they were barred from brining this case to trial again.Typically, when an appeal results in the reversal of a conviction, it means that something pretty significant was done inappropriately during the trial.   So what went wrong here?  Why did the court of appeals not simply remand for a new trial.  Barring any further prosecution is an extreme remedy, but one the highest Pennsylvania court felt was appropriate here.The reason that Cosby cannot be prosecuted ever again for his 2004 actions with Andrea Constand is that the Montgomery County District Attorney at the time promised that he wouldn't, but his successor broke that promise after Cosby relied on his word and suffered in a civil lawsuit as a result.This episode looks at whether a DA can, should or must be held to their word when they make affirmative promises.  We also discuss what a DA will consider when making a decision as to whether or not there is enough evidence to pursue a prosecution and how the statute of limitations works.Because this episode had a lot of complex issues, it runs a bit long because Paul did not want to cut any explanations too short.  If, as a listener, you're okay with extending these episodes a bit, please write Paul at insummationpodcast@gmail.com or contact him via his website insummation.com and let him know if you want the episodes to run 45-50 minutes or if you'd prefer they were kept to the 35 minutes or so they typically run now.Thanks for listening!

Andrew Wyatt, spokesperson for Bill Cosby, returns to the Dom Giordano Program to discuss the release of the legendary comedian, after a Supreme Court decision decided that his charging in his second criminal trial unconstitutional. Wyatt tells that he was on his way to the Montgomery County District Attorney's office to pay a fine for Mr. Cosby when he received the call that Cosby would be released. Wyatt explains that the fine will come up again, as he suspects the Montgomery County DA's office awarded a lawn growth fine in an effort to keep him in jail after the Supreme Court decision. Also, Wyatt tells what's next for Cosby, telling that he hopes to return to the stage eventually. Also, Wyatt answers to whether or not the Cosby team should be conscious of the feelings of the other alleged victims of Cosby, and tells how the comedian is doing from a health standpoint.

On an Instagram Live broadcast Monday night, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told the world in detail about her harrowing experiences during the Capitol insurrection.  11 House Republicans join all House Democrats in stripping QAnon Representative Marjorie Taylor Green of committee roles.  Senate Democrats pass a budget bill in the wee hours this morning paving the way for passing Biden’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief package through reconciliation. The bill was passed only after Vice President Kamala Harris cast a tie-breaking vote.  Joe Biden fired all 10 members of the Federal Services Impasse Panel this week.  The FSIP is a labor panel that settles federal labor disputes between public unions and the different federal agencies, but under Trump, the Panel was stacked with Koch operatives and used to break federal sector unions.  Congressional Democrats are pushing Biden to cancel $50,000 in student loan debt. During the campaign Biden says he would support canceling $10,000 in student loan debt, but pressure led by Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren, Ilhan Omar, Ayana Pressley, Alma Adams, and Mondaire Jones seems to be having an effect. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki tweeted “Our team is reviewing whether there are any steps he can take through executive action and he would welcome the opportunity to sign a bill sent to him by Congress.” The good folks at the American Prospect have an “Executive Action Tracker” on their website as part of their #DayOneAgenda project.  Over 1,100 Columbia University students have pledged to go on a tuition strike, saying they refuse to pay full tuition for all on-line classes.  This Super Bowl Sunday General Motors will unveil their electrical vehicle line.

Nikil Saval released a response to Gov. Wolf’s budget proposal, saying that his budget “does much to move funding swiftly, and equitably, to those who need it most.” But, Saval wrote that the absence of vigorous environmental protection to respond to the climate crisis and the budget’s silence on dealing with the housing crisis, especially during the pandemic, represents “two missed opportunities.”  Former Montgomery County District Attorney Bruce Castor has gone from political irrelevance to defending Donald Trump during the upcoming impeachment trial.  Castor managed to burn every bridge possible while serving as the Montgomery County District Attorney and as the Acting Attorney General of Pennsylvania.  Congratulations, Bruce? Kathy Boockvar steps down after a major screw up that set back the fight for a Constitutional Amendment allow abuse survivors access to justice.  Scott Perry’s faculty instructor at the Army War College pens an op-ed to the York Daily Record saying that he finds Perry’s behavior “troubling” and calls on Perry to “remove his name from any website that infers, in any way, that the Army War College considers him to be of the same stature” of some of the celebrated graduates of the college.  White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki could not say what the future of the Space Force will be under the Biden Administration. She promised to get together with the point of contact with the Space Force for more information. The Space Force flag was waving during the inauguration we should say.  On Super Bowl Sunday, SpaceX is launching a commercial for what it’s billing as the “first ‘all-civilian’ spaceflight” as part of their Inspiration4 project with billionaire Jared Isaacman. The commercial tells viewers they’ll have a chance to climb aboard. According to Space.com,  there are three non-billionaire seats available: “One seat is up for grabs in a contest to anyone who makes a donation to St. Jude's Children Research Hospital. Another seat will go to a St. Jude's healthcare worker, and the third will go to the winner of an entrepreneur contest run by Isaacman's Shift4Shop.” And in a major shift away from the Trump organization, Biden created a new role at NASA to prioritize Earth sciences to combat the climate crisis. The new Senior Climate Advisor position will report directly to NASA’s administrator. The head of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, Gavin Schmidt, will be the acting senior advisor until they fill the role permanently.  Sean got shipments of pots this week.

In April, Cosby was found guilty of three counts of aggravated indecent assault. With each count carrying a maximum sentence of 10 years, the 81-year-old actor could have been hit with a three-decade sentence behind bars. He is currently under house arrest and out on $1 million bail. But no matter what the Constand family wants, with the lawyers’ arguments on both sides and Cosby’s inevitable appeal looming, that 30-year lockup just isn’t going to happen. On Day 1 of the sentencing hearing for Cosby with a vital defense witness still to come tomorrow, O’Neill revealed that the often-clashing Montgomery County District Attorney’s office and the defendant’s lawyer had agreed to a deal of sorts. “Counts two and three have been merged into count one,” O’Neill said this afternoon in suburban Norristown, PA. Looking at the state guidelines and their wiggle room, he declared that once A-lister Cosby was looking at a total jail time of 22 to 34 months in final sentencing.
