@ProPublica some people act worse then dogs. And some people act in a way that is lower then animals. Would need more details other then the baiting color angle.

@ProPublica prosecutorial misconduct in capital cases should involve mandatory prosecution for conspiracy to commit murder.

@ProPublica
“In at least two death penalty cases, Louisiana judges found that Holland withheld evidence. In a third, he secured the conviction of a Black 16-year-old… prosecutors later admitted that Holland and his team had failed to turn over evidence.”

Three cases of withholding evidence. Where was the accountability from Louisiana’s courts and state Bar association?

> Witheld evidence in at least 3 death row cases

Every such case is made to prevent the prosecution of a wealthy white perpetrator.
