So ⁦Jamiles Lartey⁩ and I have created a two-person newsroom outside the conference that we both ducked out of to work on stories. He is making calls (I feel sorry for whoever they’re about) and I am cursing at the CMS as I type.

Update: This afternoon LaKeith Smith was resentenced to 30 years — down from 55 — but still a massive disappointment to family and supporters who were hopeful for a much larger reduction. In a social media post family said they plan to appeal.

“The knowledge of how to properly acquire a firearm in [these] types of neighborhoods is slim to none. You get guns floating around freely and nobody educates you,” he said. “I’d never in my life heard of a [gun owners’ permit] until I went to prison.” themarshallproject.org/2023/03/23/gun…
