Can Gov. Lee Remove DA Steve Mulroy? House Speaker Breaks Down Process

Darrell Castle talks about crime in American cities which is out of control due to public policies not to prosecute it. Transcription / Notes CRISiS IN PUBLIC SAFETY Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 4th day of August in the year of our Lord 2023. I will be talking about crime and specifically crime out of control because of public decisions not to prosecute it, all backed and enforced by George Soros funded district attorneys. Today's discussion will concentrate on the city of Oakland, California with the premise that Oakland is an example of what is happening across the country. Yes, crime is exploding across the country fueled by progressive policies of non-prosecution of criminals. It should be obvious to us by this time that if you make crime legal you will get a lot of crime. Well, crime is so bad in Oakland that the NAACP recognizes that prosecuting criminals, even if they are black, is in the best interest of the community and the African American community is no different. When my city of Memphis, Tennessee elected a Soros backed DA by a narrow margin in the last election many on the left celebrated. I wondered at the time if all those African Americans celebrating knew what would happen to their communities under his term. Memphis, as a result, suffers from the same problems as Oakland, California although not as severe. Normally, California is a trend setter and I suppose that Soros funded D.A. crime is no different. Crime is so out of control in Oakland that the President of the Oakland NAACP, Cynthia Adams, along with the senior pastor of the Acts Full Gospel Church, Bishop Bob Jackson, wrote an open letter to the elected leaders of their community and I will share some of that letter with you now. “Oakland residents are sick and tired of our intolerable public safety crises that overwhelmingly impacts minority communities. Murders, shootings, violent armed robberies, home invasions, car break-ins, sideshows, and highway shootouts have become a pervasive fixture of life in Oakland. We call on elected leaders to unite and declare a state of emergency and bring together massive resources to address our public safety crises. African Americans are disproportionately hit the hardest by crime in East Oakland and other parts of the city. But residents from all parts of the city report that they do not feel safe. Women are targeted by young mobs and viciously beaten and robbed in downtown and uptown neighborhoods. Asians are assaulted in Chinatown. Street vendors are robbed in Fruitvale. News crews have their cameras stolen while they report on crime. PG&E workers are robbed and now require private security when they are out working. Everyone is in danger.” Well, that is indeed horrible, isn't it. The conditions this lady describes are not something that Americans should have to endure. However, there is a dear price that must be paid for progressive politics. The basic job requirement of District Attorneys is to represent the people in criminal matters and prosecute criminals. When the prospective D.A. is running for election against a good D.A. who actually does her job and prosecutes criminals, but the people reject her in favor of one selected by George Soros, the conditions described in the letter are what you get. Let me give you a little background on how George Soros managed to destroy Oakland, California. Oakland, like Memphis, once had a good D.A. who understood her job and did it well. Her name was Nancy O'Malley and in Memphis her name was Amy Weirich. Those two women were voted out of office and replaced by D.A.'s funded by George Soros, and who promised to usher in a new era in how the D.A.'s office responded to crime. In essence, the promise was that black people accused of crimes would only be prosecuted or held in confinement in extremely rare circumstances. The new progressive D.A.s are Pamela Price in Oakland, and Steve Mulroy in Memphis.

Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland joined Wake Up Memphis to talk about the revolving door in the judicial system.

How would a prosecutor define, "Beyond a reasonable doubt"? District Attorney of Shelby County, Tennessee, Steve Mulroy joins to answer the question, and discuss how he found himself in the field of criminal justice.   Later, he discusses the difficulties he has faced in his short time as District Attorney in Shelby County, how his office has handled the Tyre Nichols case, and how he handles speaking to the families of victims.

Episode Notes My guests include Shelby County DA Steve Mulroy. To say his office has been busy is a major understatement but the Nichols death investigation is not yet over. He will tell us where things stand and if there will be additional charges filed. Former county commissioner and current Memphis NAACP chapter President Van Turner has been front and center in seeking justice and accountability in the Nichols case. He joins me to discuss his thoughts on the MPD, another federal Civil Rights lawsuit filed tied to the former Scorpion unit and what the organization thinks true justice for Tyre looks like moving forward. Support and encouragement are two of things we all need and that my next guest sees as a priority. Sandra Madubuonwu is on the staff at Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare as the director of social determinants of health and wellness. She is also the head of the My Sister's Keeper initiative. She explains what that is and why it's so important.

Steve Mulroy is the District Attorney of Shelby County, Tennessee, which includes Memphis. Mulroy has been in office for a little over a year and was elected to bring down violent crime, while simultaneously ending the distrust the community has for the police. That's a tall order. In this extended interview, we ask him if prosecuting the five officers involved in the death of Tyre Nichols will advance that goal? Also, we discuss what lessons he draws from the failures and successes of other progressive prosecutors, and why he thinks Memphis will avoid the fate of Baltimore, Ferguson, and other cities that succumbed to the pattern of police abuse leading to a pull-back in policing which lead to a rise in murders.

Holyoke Media, en asociación con WHMP radio, emiten diariamente la Síntesis informativa en español a través del 101.5 FM y en el 1240 / 1400 AM. Esta es la síntesis informativa del miércoles 1 de febrero de 2023: - La vicepresidenta Kamala Harris asistirá este miércoles al funeral de Tyre Nichols, el hombre negro que murió tres días después de que la policía de Memphis lo golpeara salvajemente luego de una parada de tráfico a principios de este mes, dijo la Casa Blanca el martes. Nichols será elogiado por el Reverendo Al Sharpton en un servicio en la Iglesia Cristiana Mississippi Boulevard en Memphis el miércoles por la mañana. También asistirán los familiares de Breonna Taylor y George Floyd, quienes fueron asesinados por la policía en Louisville, Kentucky y Minneapolis, Minnesota en 2020. Mientras tanto, el fiscal de distrito del condado de Shelby, Steve Mulroy, dijo el martes que los fiscales podrían presentar más cargos penales contra los policías y otras personas en relación con la golpiza fatal de Nichols, luego de las crecientes críticas sobre cómo la oficina de Mulroy y el Departamento de Policía de Memphis han manejado el caso. Cinco oficiales, todos negros, fueron acusados la semana pasada de asesinato en segundo grado y despedidos de la fuerza. El departamento confirmó el lunes que un sexto oficial, había sido suspendido de sus funciones poco después del ataque del 7 de enero, pero no ha sido acusado penalmente. En un comunicado en Twitter, el fiscal de distrito Mulroy dijo que otros oficiales, el personal del departamento de bomberos y otras personas que prepararon la documentación del incidente también pueden enfrentar cargos penales a medida que haya más información disponible. FUENTE: REUTERS El presidente de Estados Unidos, Joe Biden, y el presidente de la Cámara de Representantes, Kevin McCarthy, no asistirán a su primera reunión sobre el aumento del techo de la deuda con propuestas específicas para evitar un posible incumplimiento, indicaron ambas partes el martes. En cambio, es probable que la reunión de este miércoles entre Biden y McCarthy sirva como la campanada de apertura de meses de maniobras de ida y vuelta para aumentar el límite de endeudamiento de Estados Unidos de 31,4 billones de dólares. Ninguna de las partes muestra signos de que están dispuestas a negociar algo por el momento. La falta de acuerdo podría conducir a un posible incumplimiento de pago de la deuda de EEUU a partir de junio. Los republicanos en la Cámara han dicho que cualquier aumento del techo de la deuda debería ir acompañado de fuertes recortes de gastos. La Casa Blanca dice que solo discutirá futuros recortes de gastos después de que se eleve el techo de la deuda. Biden pedirá a McCarthy que publique un plan presupuestario en la reunión y se comprometa a respaldar las obligaciones de deuda de la nación, según un memorando de la Casa Blanca. McCarthy, por su parte, dijo que Biden debe estar dispuesto a hacer concesiones para lograr un aumento del techo de la deuda a través del Congreso. Es posible que no surjan propuestas detalladas durante varias semanas. FUENTE: REUTERS

In addition to advocating for bail reform, Mulroy's office has launched a Justice Review Unit and is working on juvenile reforms alongside newly elected Juvenile Court Judge Tarik Sugarmon, among other things. 

Special Counsel for the 25th Judicial District Attorney General's Office, Amy Weirich, joined the show to talk about the ongoing crime by juveniles in Memphis and what current District Attorney Steve Mulroy needs to do to reduce those violent crimes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're back with a special interview of the newly elected District Attorney in Shelby County, Steve Mulroy. Steve was elected on August 4th and took office on September 1st. His first week in office was marred by some of the worst incidents of crime that Memphis has seen in a long time. We discussed that first week and what it was like for him personally. Steve and his staff of more than 200 people are responsible for prosecuting every crime in Tennessee's second largest county. We talked about the priorities Steve campaigned on and how he is going about implementing them in his first few months in office. We also discussed some of his hidden talents, things you might not know about him.Recorded live in front of an audience of Just City supporters at Crosstown Concourse on September 29th, 2022.

Today we're starting off with a look back at 9/11 and how it changed the country as we knew it. We talk about why we should focus on faithful advocacy in America and how there is potential for optimism despite how bleak America currently looks. Then, we discuss the Left's responses to 9/11, many of which equate 9/11 to events like the January 6 riot. We'll go over why this is such a dangerous philosophy. We'll look at the multiple stories of violent crime in Memphis from the past few weeks and look at exactly what policies might be to blame. We talk about the racialization of crime stories in politics and on social media and why social justice ultimately kills. Then, we're joined by Father Calvin Robinson to talk about the legacy of Queen Elizabeth and some of the tasteless comments on her death, as well as what's going on in a U.K. city known for child exploitation and how we should reframe the conversation on race. --- Timecodes: [01:00] Remembering 9/11 [12:21] The Left's reaction to 9/11 [23:21] Memphis crime stories [40:09] Interview with Fr.

This needs to be a national story! In the Deep South, voters in Memphis, Tennessee showed up in a MAJOR way to oust conservative DA Amy Weirich for a progressive reformer and civil rights attorney. It's a HUGE deal. And it wasn't even close. Amy strangely made her campaign about ME, of all people, running ads blasting me, and my support of her opponent, but voters knew better and saw right through it, thankfully. Here's the thing - when a progressive loses somewhere, it's all over the news. We need them to now keep that same energy for Memphis. Shout out to the new DA, Steve Mulroy, who ran a great campaign. And shout out to the voters and volunteers in Memphis who made it happen. Proud of you!

This episode of Show Cause welcomes our very own Steve Mulroy, the Bredesen Professor of Law and a member of the Memphis Law faculty since the year 2000. He's not only the law school's resident Star Trek aficionado (and self-proclaimed biggest “trekkie” in Shelby County) but also a nationally regarded expert in the areas of Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Civil Rights, and Election Law. As a law professor, he has participated in the litigation of over a dozen cutting-edge cases in areas which inform his scholarship. Amongst many other areas of expertise, Professor Mulroy has written and spoken extensively on election related issues, voting rights, first amendment cases, and a wide range of civil rights related items. He joins us on the podcast today for a wide-ranging conversation about a variety of things he's involved in, weighing in on topics such as COVID mask and vaccine mandates, recent cases he's been a part of as a pro bono attorney, upcoming US Supreme Court cases on the docket and how his classes are studying them, as well as election matters, voting rights issues, and even recent legislation regarding critical race theory and the first amendment concerns those bills raise. And of course we take some time to chat about all things pop-culture with Professor Mulroy, which as those who know him can attest, is an always enjoyable topic to go over with him.
