A person convicted of a crime experiences 2 types of detention: pretrial detention (jail) and post-conviction detention (prison). Wrongfully convicted persons will never get that time back. #nvleg, AB104 should compensate the loss of liberty--every single day of it.

Banning no-knock warrants is the best option. But we support the reasonable compromise in Amended SB50. Nevadans deserve nothing less than meticulously justified, safely executed knock warrants. #nvleg

Turns out forensic pathologists aren't above cognitive bias. We all knew it, but now we have the empirical data. Check out the article here: protect-us.mimecast.com/s/CkipCQWqnDs6…

We are proud to have signed this letter and hope that the people's branch of government will find a fair, reasonable, and consistent way to hear us all. #nvleg

This is where we are on the issue of race in Nevada: Jim Wheeler just asked whether a bill to address systemic racism is "just for people of color" or whether it would also protect persons "walking while white." Walking. While. White. #nvleg

The death penalty "is intimately tied to violent structures of racism that permeated the legal structures in America’s past and that remain omnipresent in the current justice system." ABOLISH. #nvleg thenevadaindependent.com/article/nevada…

Repealing the death penalty is one of many ways the #nvleg can improve a broken criminal-legal system plagued by systemic racism. NACJ sent a letter to Melanie Scheible demanding a hearing on AB395 in the Senate. Let's see some action to match Nicole Cannizzaro's wise words.

#MassLiberation is reuniting mommas and their kiddos for #MothersDay, and reminding the #nvleg how urgent the decriminalization of traffic infractions really is. @leslieatPLAN for President! nbcnews.com/news/us-news/n…

The failure to even schedule a hearing on #AB395 is absolutely unacceptable. It is time for Nevada to face the irreparably broken death penalty system Melanie Scheible Nicole Cannizzaro

Want to know how the #nvleg can fix that budget hole that the Nevada Supreme Court just ruled on—Abolish the failed, racist, and expensive death penalty. #abolishthedeathpenalty #ab395 #nvleg

There is a path forward, @GovSisolak, you're just too cowardly to take it. Nicole Cannizzaro, Melanie Scheible, and Sisolak should have a robust conversation with persons on death row who are begging for their lives.

.ACLU of Nevada with strong words about Nevada dropping the quest to end the death penalty. Says Dem leaders in gov's office / Senate's "commitment to meaningful reform is nothing but lip service." Says situation "an embarrassment." Says blame for future executions lies with lawmakers:
