was guilty all along

In 1990 a horse groomer named Pamela Albertson was raped and murdered at Pompano Beach racetrack in Florida. Robert Earl Hayes, who also worked at the track, was arrested and charged with the crime and was convicted and sentence(d) to death in 1991. One of the key elements in the trial was the then relatively new use of DNA evidence to prove Hayes’ guilt. (snip) In 1997 the results of the 1990 trial were thrown out on the grounds that the DNA evidence was not reliable. Hayes was tried again without the DNA evidence and this time he was exonerated and became a kind of mini-celebrity.

The Nativity School of Worcester has been sanctioned by Robert J. McManus, the Bishop of the Diocese of Worcester, for their refusal to take them down.
He says the facility - the only tuition-free private school in the region - cannot continue to call itself Catholic while flying in the face of key church teachings.

A North Carolina charter school with a female principal and vice principal is violating the Constitution because it requires girls to wear skirts, a federal appeals court has declared.
The full Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the same court that mandated the removal of war memorial crosses in five states, said Tuesday that the Charter Day School's skirt requirement for girls is rooted in unconstitutional gender stereotypes. It is the first time a federal appeals court has said charter schools may be sued for civil rights claims, and will almost assuredly be followed by lawsuits involving sports, bathroom access, and transgender rights.
George Washington University (GW) officials have decided to remove the school’s “Colonial” mascot following years of woke activists demanding the university ban it for not being “inclusive.” Students then suggested the university change its mascot to a “hippo” or a “riverhorse” instead.

Former Florida Rep. Corrine Brown (D) announced her Congressional run for Florida’s 10th Congressional District Thursday, just a little less than a month after pleading guilty to tax fraud.

(snip) Maxwell’s lawyers provided details of the alleged death threat in a pre-sentencing report Wednesday. (snip) Her lawyers wrote: “One of the female inmates in Ms. Maxwell’s housing unit told at least three other inmates that she had been offered money to murder Ms. Maxwell and that she planned to strangle her in her sleep.”
In a surprise move, the Democrat Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, said he would be joining Donald Trump’s social network, Truth Social in a bid to “call out Republican lies.”
“I just joined Trump’s Truth Social,” said Newsom in a tweet from his official account. “Going to be on there calling out Republican lies. This could get…interesting.” (snip) The governor’s first post on Truth Social was a short video, addressing what Newsom said is a “red state murder problem.” (snip) What the governor of crime-ridden California fails to mention is that the violence in those states is driven by their bluest areas — the cities.

Sonia Sotomayor praised fellow Associate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as “car[ing] deeply about the Court as an institution” amid a furor over his wife’s contact with attorney John Eastman about former President Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

And not only does he know their names, he remembers their families’ names and histories,” Sotomayor said Thursday of the Court’s longest serving member at the American Constitution Society’s 2022 national convention.

Progressive Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman warned of a stark outcome if Republicans take back power in the November midterm elections — one that would “embolden” far-right extremists and white nationalists who he claims “have been pushing” for “civil war.”
During a Saturday interview with MSNBC’s “The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross,” the Bronx-Westchester member of the congressional “Squad” led by socialist darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed Republicans will quickly take action to halt Democratic progress in the investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, saying the House select committee’s findings would be “completely suppressed.”
Bowman also claimed the GOP would “impeach President Biden as quickly as possible
A Florida woman who found Ashley Biden's private diary is being investigated by the FBI – not for stealing the journal but for selling it, DailyMail.com has learned.
The diary's explosive contents include Ashley's speculation that showering with her father, then-Senator Joe Biden, as a young girl may have contributed to her sex addiction.
'I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/ my dad (probably not appropriate),' she wrote in a January 2019 entry

Harvard Law professor emeritus Laurence Tribe said Thursday on CNN’s “Erin Burnett OutFront” that former President Donald Trump attempted to murder Vice President Mike Pence on January 6, 2021.
Burnett asked, “From everything you have seen so far, including the hearing today that focused so much on Trump causing violence against Pence, do you believe the committee has proven that Trump himself knowingly committed crimes?”
Tribe said, “Without any doubt, beyond a reasonable doubt, beyond any doubt, and the crimes are obvious. The most obvious was that he was ordering his vice-president to do
A new photo shows Mike Pence and his family hiding in a Senate office just minutes after he was evacuated on January 6 as a mob stormed the Capitol.
The image taken by a White House photographer and published Wednesday night by ABC portrays the Vice President, second lady Karen, his daughter Charlotte and his Republican Congressman Greg sitting and waiting as the chaos unfolded.
Karen is seen closing the curtains so rioters couldn't see inside while the vice president, Charlotte and Greg sit and wait on chairs.
In the hours before, Greg Pence had voted against certifying Joe Biden's election win and Trump supporters were heard chanting 'hang Mike Pence'.

Republican Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker acknowledged Thursday he has two more children the public doesn’t know about—just one day after it was revealed he has a “secret” 10-year-old son. Walker, 60, confirmed to the Daily Beast that he has a total of four children—three sons and a daughter. Until this week, the ex-NFL star had only publicly spoken about one of them—his 22-year-old son, Christian Walker. In addition to the 10-year-old son, whom he has not played an active role in raising, Walker has a 13-year-old boy and an adult daughter who was born when
Lightyear star Chris Evans called critics of the movie’s gay kiss “idiots,” adding, “those people” are going to “die off like dinosaurs.” The Disney-Pixar animated children’s movie has been banned in Middle Eastern countries, such as Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), over a scene featuring a kiss between two female characters.
“The real truth is those people are idiots,” Evans told Reuters. “There’s always going to be people who are afraid and unaware and trying to hold on to what was before. But those people die off like dinosaurs.” “I think the goal is to pay them no mind, march forward and embrace the growth that makes us human,” the actor added.
Joe Biden, as his party propaganda and media enablers say, is a man of compassion.
And he's now loaded with such compassion with remarks like this, addressing his own unpopularity with the American people. (Snip for tweet) Heres what he actually told the Associated Press in his interview with them:
AP: What’s that paradox? BIDEN: Well, I think the paradox is, part of it is, I think what, the failure of the last administration to act on COVID had a profound impact on the number of people who got COVID and the number of people who died. Now here’s what I’m, I think Vivek Murthy is right and most of the international
Leaders of the Jan. 6 select committee say the time has come to interview Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, about her connections to Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the election.

Thompson’s comments and Cheney’s agreement — confirmed to POLITICO by an aide — coincided with news reports suggesting Thomas had been in touch with at least one key architect of Trump’s bid to cling to power: Attorney John Eastman.
