Oregon Senate Bill 1007 would have made it easier for wrongfully convicted people in the state to seek compensation for their years incarcerated, but was among the bills that floundered in the legislative session even though it had nearly universal bipartisan support.

Much of that floundering was due to an uncertain budget picture that left even top priorities for supermajority Democrats, such as a massive transportation package, without a path forward.

Exonerated #CentralParkFive sue #Trump for #defamation over debate remarks

The Central Park Five alleged in a federal lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania that Trump falsely claimed they pleaded guilty to the 1989 attack.

A group of men who were #exonerated in the rape & assault of a woman in Central Park in 1989 have sued Donald Trump for continuing to suggest that they are guilty, including at the presidential debate in Philadelphia last month.
