RT @john_hummel: I joined with DA Schmidt and DA Ellis on the attached testimony to the House Judiciary Committee in support of eliminating Oregon's mandatory minimum sentences: They don't make us safer and do increase racial disparities. Judges should decide criminal sentences, not prosecutors. https://t.co/TsrpJBOCdr
RT @OJRCenter: Decades of research show that mandatory minimums have not achieved one of their proponents' goals: fairness.

When a District Attorney like @chesaboudin has the courage prosecute compassionately rather than rely on a racist system of injustice, the media blames every crime under the sun on him. Interesting how that doesn't happen to tough on crime DA's with far worse crime statistics. https://t.co/5Pn5mmAPHj
