Although this is long over due, it is wonderful news for Mr. Flowers. https://www.nytimes.com//after-6-murder-trials-and-nearly-

This action by the Court of Appeal is significant. This sentence was thrown out because the sitting judge refused to seriously consider the bias of one of the jurors selected. The jury forewoman has tweeted over 22 times statements about the defendant, such as "that piece of garbage", "scum" and that he belonged in a "dungeon where he will be forgotten about until his time comes." This denied Mr. Tsarnaev a fair and impartial trial. Our system of justice must treat all people the same, even those the most despised for their actions. Well done Court of Appeal. https://www.nytimes.com//dzhokhar-tsarnaev-boston-marathon

Our inmate population deserves to be protected from this virus. https://www.sacbee.com/ne/coronavirus/article243724172.html

Supreme Court refused to reexamine the law that grants peace officers qualified immunity. This is disappointing to say the least. https://www.npr.org//supreme-court-will-not-re-examine-doc

COVID-19 has changed the way justice is served in our court system. The restrictions required to protect the safety of the defendants, attorneys, court staff, jurors and judges require barriers that interfere with due process and fairness. If you are contemplating going to trial while these restrictions are necessary, I strongly urge you to wait. https://www.nytimes.com//coronavirus-jury-trial-oregon.html
