Description
This week in news, Bobbin & Eric debrief the Legislative Short session, the failure of ODOC to protect women at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility from sexual abuse, and The Who-Cares-If-You’re-Innocent-Project article that discusses federal judicial nominations/appointments and nominees who have backgrounds as public defenders or working on wrongful convictions...and, one political party is blaming an innocence attorney for the rise in crime rights! Bobbin and Eric re-introduce Post-Conviction Review and State Habeas Corpus, discussing what they are and how, in theory, they provide a check on state actors. = Juan Chavez was not able to join us this week, but we will hear from our Civil Rights Associate Director, Franz Bruggemeier next week to talk about teargas and the lack of accountability in the Portland police. Produced by Beatrix Li, OJRC Policy & Communications Associate
