just a sweet reminder to whom it may concern that predicting a crime in a future unpredictable abrogates the assumption of innocence, which is so vital for a state of law

but then, so do finger prints in ID cards

Prairieland shooter gets 100 years, others 30-70 for ICE detention center ‘antifa’ protest

The sentencing comes three months after a weeks-long trial in which prosecutors argued the group was a "North Texas antifa cell" with anti-ICE and anti-government beliefs.

https://www.theguardian.com/global/commentisfree/2026/jun/20/elbit-four-law-jurors-criminal-damage-terrorism. "The Elbit 4 will be labelled as 'terrorists' because they were convicted, in substance, of a quasi-terrorist offence that was never charged, never put to the #jury, & never proven by the #prosecution. The jurors who found them guilty of criminal damage had no idea their verdict would be treated as a verdict on #terrorism. The prosecution was not required to establish the #terrorist connection beyond reasonable doubt, or to any standard at all."

You may not sympathise with the Elbit four’s methods. But you should be outraged by their treatment under the law

The jurors who found the pro-Palestine activists guilty of criminal damage had no idea their verdict would be treated as a verdict on terrorism, says Geoffrey Robertson KC

"Drug #diversion schemes led by #police that steer people away from the #criminal #justice #system & into #treatment & #education #services are significantly more effective in #reducing #reoffending than #prosecution, according to a new #analysis." See: https://www.college.police.uk/research/projects/police-drug-diversion-pdd-realist-impact-process-and-economic-evaluation. This ought to be obvious, @vfrmedia.

Drug diversion schemes cut reoffending rates more than prosecution, study says

Todd Blanch says Justice Dep't is withdrawing proposal to create $1.8 billion fund to compensate people #claiming to be #victims of unfair #prosecution. Best part from NY Times? “The announcement follows a revolt from Republicans who saw it as an ethical & political abomination.” 🤣 https://www.nytimes.com/live/2026/06/02/us/trump-administration-news?unlocked_article_code=1.nFA.WEiD.aRS9DxLVq-Yu&smid=nytcore-ios-share
