RT @davidminpdx: 5. And if the DNA testing failed to produce a profile (because the biological material was old and degraded), then too, because the case was in a post-conviction posture, the conviction would remain intact, and my client would be executed.
RT @davidminpdx: 2. At the time it just astounded me that the prosecutors were opposing the testing. My client had been requesting DNA testing for some time. The case had already spent decades winding its way through the courts. So a delay of a couple of months would hardly have been a big deal.
RT @davidminpdx: 17. The fact that we have *normalized this behavior is unconscionable – it is a great blot on us all. We have let these power-mad prosecutors have their way for too long. The public must step in, engage in an urgent politics of now, and vote these motherfuckers out of office.
RT @davidminpdx: 14. I wish I could say these cases are outliers, but there are dozens, perhaps 100s around the country just like these, where prosecutors are seeking to EXECUTE people without testing the DNA. (Not to mention all the non-death row cases where prosecutors oppose DNA testing.)
RT @davidminpdx: 13. Reed seeks DNA testing on a braided leather belt that prosecutors say was used to strangle the victim. Ligatures frequently retain the DNA of the people who use them. Prosecutors refuse to allow the belt to be tested. https://t.co/at2O8b03xT

RT @davidminpdx: 9. Here we are a decade and a half later. 156 people have been exonerated from death row. Many 100s have been exonerated because of post-conviction DNA testing. And in two cases this month prosecutors are seeking to execute people without doing DNA testing.
RT @davidminpdx: 7. So I just couldn't understand what their opposition was about. Why would prosecutors oppose the testing? Even if, contra my insistent client, prosecutors thought my client was guilty, what was the harm? Before killing a man, wouldn't you want to be sure?
RT @davidminpdx: 6. And of course, if the DNA testing revealed the biological material of another person – who was neither my client nor the victim – on items that were central to the rape/murder – then well jeez. The state would be saved from executing an almost-surely innocent man!

RT @davidminpdx: 1. A long time ago now, less than two weeks after I was admitted to the bar, I went to court on behalf of a man on death row with an active execution date who said he was innocent who wanted post-conviction DNA testing on items from the crime scene that could prove his innocence.

RT @BernieSanders: I am very concerned about what appears to be a coup in Bolivia, where the military, after weeks of political unrest, intervened to remove President Evo Morales. The U.S. must call for an end to violence and support Bolivia’s democratic institutions.
RT @RafaelAnchia: Today I sent a letter urging @GovAbbott and Chair Gutierrez to grant a reprieve for #RodneyReed. The mounting evidence of innocence in this case deserves a full examination, which can only happen with additional time. https://t.co/a3JSJrhWnE

RT @innocence: Walter Reed, #RodneyReed's father, was in the U.S. Air Force for over thirty years. He is one of several Reed family members to serve this country. He lived to see his son's first stay of execution in 2015 but passed away a few weeks later. #veteransday2019 https://t.co/PRrOU50a9Y

RT @4NIKKOLAS: Next Wednesday, #RodneyReed is scheduled to be executed, despite overwhelming evidence that he didn’t commit any crime. Help us stop this by signing the petition at https://t.co/gRk1yH8kmj. #FreeRodneyReed https://t.co/dkpn0fCuMK
RT @ScottHech: The young man’s name is Destin Burgess. Represented by @LegalAidNYC in the Bronx. Help join them in calling on @BronxDAClark to dismiss earlier charges related to a near-identical encounter with officers. https://t.co/yyNa3xeuS2
RT @ScottHech: WATCH: The routine casualness of undercover NYPD officers as they stop, approach, & frisk a young black man w/ zero justification. In full violation of constitution. They know they’re on camera. This is why people feel imprisoned in their own communities.https://t.co/bEUQxU6TPx

RT @aliciagarza: If you’re paying attention to what’s happening in #Bolivia right now you’ll understand that there’s a global right wing movement that is ready to challenge each and every victory we win. What you’re seeing in Bolivia is a coup—not a deposing of a leader who won’t leave.

RT @BernieSanders: Hahahahaha. That's some real class solidarity. I’m impressed by that grassroots movement. Our campaign on the other hand is a real movement by and for the working class. We are going to take on the billionaire class, and we are going to defeat them. https://t.co/Z9EjXFqwFH

The local police union poured in nearly $1 million to defeat Chesa. They know he will hold them accountable. The Mayor appointed her friend as interim DA to tip the scale. The Governor endorsed our opponent. Senator Kamala Harris did too. BUT THE PEOPLE SPOKE. https://t.co/qC2DKY6s2Z

RT @GregCasar: We rallied to #FreeRodneyReed today. We rallied to transform our systems of racial injustice, to abolish the death penalty, to free those wrongfully convicted. Thank you to @shaunking for elevating this issue nationwide! https://t.co/020fQUasxz
RT @shaunking: HUGE NEWS!!! @ChesaBoudin was just elected the new District Attorney of San Francisco!!! With very few votes remaining to be counted, Chesa pulled ahead by 8,465 1st place votes and by 2,568 RCV votes. WE DID IT!!!! A grassroots victory for a truly kind soul. YES! YES! YES! https://t.co/IAaM0QmuRf
Do you want to know how we change this thing we call the justice system? One city, one county, one department, one DA at a time. City by city. County by county. An astounding 50% of all incarcerated people come from just 125 of America's 15,000 counties. https://t.co/qC2DKY6s2Z
