Prakash Churaman, who was 15 at the time, was snatched from his home by the NYPD and bullied into making a false murder confession. He would spend 4 years on Rikers awaiting a trial while his peers went to high school and looked to begin building their adult lives. Churaman was convicted and then saw the conviction overturned on appeal but was forced to live under virtual house arrest with an ankle monitor that tracked his every move.. The Queens DA's office was planning to retry Prakash in the hopes of sending him away to prison for life. But as his case grew greater public scrutiny, it began to collapse. Yesterday, at a routine pre-trial hearing, Queens prosecutors dropped all charges in the case to the astonishment of Prakash and his supporters.
On this week's Indy News Hour: —Prakash Churaman joins us with his lawyer Jose Nieves: When Churaman was 15 he was was snatched from his home by the NYPD and bullied into making a false murder confession.

According to members of the People's forum who were present for the altercation, the NYPD facilitated the barrage by preventing the people's forum from forcing the occupiers to leave. The protesters remained in the space for over an hour, while staff and guests were physically assaulted and verbally harassed, and the space was vandalized. — Amazon Labor Union member Connor Spence and lawyer Seth Goldstein: Since winning a union election at the massive JFK8 warehouse in Staten Island in April, the amazon labor union has continued organizing in Staten Island and beyond. They are organizing for a union win in JFK8s three sister warehouses and Amazon warehouses around the country are indicating they want to unionize. But this is no easy fight, and in many ways, an uphill battle. While Amazon continues to pour millions of dollars into anti-union campaigning, the ALU is fighting to start contract negotiations at JFK8. These have been stalled by the corporation's objections to the JFK election results, which will be heard at the national labor relations board office in Pheonix, Arizona on June 13. On monday, the ALU faced off Amazon in labor court, and this time they were the ones bringing the complaints to the Board. That hearing was in regards to 6 unfair labor practice complaints filed by the independent union's legal team.

Chesa Boudin is part of something: a national movement to change the way that district attorneys operate within the criminal justice system. He wants to make the change in San Francisco, as that city's new DA. Boudin is running in a competitive election on November 5, and he has attracted the support of change agents from across the country: Chicago District Attorney Kim Foxx, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, and Queens DA candidate Tiffany Caban, to name a few. Having worked for a number of years as a San Francisco public defender, Boudin knows the system. He has big plans to eliminate cash bail, to end racial disparities, to end mass incarceration, and to expand mental health treatment so that San Francisco can "stop using our jail as an ineffective and inhumane mental health facility." But there is more to Boudin's run. He has distinguished himself in this moment of debate about the criminal justice system by speaking openly, and insightfully, about his own experience as the son of parents who were jailed throughout his childhood. His parents, Weather Underground radicals Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, were incarcerated when he was just fourteen months old for driving the getaway vehicle in a robbery that left three men dead. Raised in Chicago by Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who were also members of the Weather Underground, Boudin recalls visiting his parents behind bars, and struggling with what that meant for his life. He discusses all this in powerful terms, and he connects that discussion to criminal justice debates, with a reminder that, "More than half of Americans have a family member behind bars." Speaking as a public defender, a Rhodes Scholar, a Yale Law School graduate, and an author and activist, Boudin says, "I know our system is broken. I'm running for district attorney because I know how to fix it." He joins us this week on Next Left for a remarkable discussion about a movement that is transforming how we can and should think about law enforcement, mass incarceration, and criminal justice reform.

It's been 25 days since Queens Democrats went to the polls to pick their nominee for District Attorney, a primary and proxy war that pitted borough president Melinda Katz against the AOC/Sanders/Warren-backed upstart Tiffany Cabán. The borough of over 2 million people wound up with the candidates separated by just 16 votes, sparking an overtime battle being waged at the Board of Elections, in court, and naturally all over social media. Assuming it ever ends, will the losing side accept the result or cry foul? And what does it mean for the establishment vs. far left divide in the Democratic Party? Here to help us sort through it is our first-ever returning guest, Hofstra University's Dr. Craig Burnett.
