This post discusses the roots of the movement. Historically, crime victims played a… [read post]

[My filings yesterday on behalf of the fifteen families who lost loved ones in the Boeing 737 MAX crashes explains why the Justice Department could not keep victims' families in the dark when it negotiated its immunity deal with Boeing.] Yesterday I filed three motions challenging the Justice Department's secret negotiation of a deferred prosecution agreement (DPA) with Boeing in connection with the two Boeing 737 MAX crashes.

[Judge Wilson from the Central District of California rejects the Department's breathtakingly sweeping position that "what the Government says is the public interest in this courtroom."] Last week I blogged about the Justice Department's effort to vacate a police officer's conviction for using excessive force. On behalf of the victim, co-counsel Caree Harper and I objected. And earlier today, the judge agreed with our arguments and denied the motion to dismiss. The found the… [read post]

[In its deferred prosecution agreement, Boeing stipulated to an agreed statement of facts demonstrating that it is guilty.] Last week, I blogged about how Boeing had confessed to committing a deadly conspiracy crime connected with the two 737 MAX crashes and should now plead guilty to the charge pending against it. In that earlier post, I argued that Boeing's concessions in a statement of facts (connected with an earlier deferred prosecution agreement) constituted a "confession" that… [read post]

[Justice Thomas observes in his dissent that "the parties collusively excluded" evidence—which I presented to the Court for the victim's family—"in order to reach a predetermined outcome." And the Court majority offers no defense of this deceitful maneuver.] Today the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of death row inmate Richard Glossip. By a 5-3 majority, the Court found that the prosecutors in the case "knowingly" failed to correct false testimony… [read post]

Previously I blogged about the Glossip case before the Supreme Court, in posts found here, here, and here. This death penalty case involves a prosecutor confessing a purported "error" where, in fact, no error exists. This past weekend, I published an op-ed in The Hill that reviews the problem of prosecutors "taking a dive" by confessing nonexistent errors. Here's the introduction: Earlier this month, Amherst College Professor Austin Sarat criticized Supreme… [read post]
