  1. As expected, no new provisions for the release of audio/video and written reports in the cases of officer involved shootings. Texas cops kill more people than the death penalty, but due to the bulk background check industry, citizens can't investigate an officer involved shooting.

  2. The Innocence Project lies to get guilty criminals off. Read about Professor David Protess of the Innocence Project:

    A man is suing Northwestern and other parties for $40 million after he says he was coerced to plead guilty to a double homicide and spent 15 years in prison following revelations by an NU journalism class.
    Alstory Simon filed a lawsuit Tuesday in the U.S. District Court of Northern Illinois seeking redress for the time he spent in prison after he says he was wrongfully incarcerated for the killings. Cook County prosecutors threw out his conviction in October.
    The suit alleges the University, former Medill Prof. David Protess as well as private investigator Paul Ciolino and Simon’s then-attorney Jack Rimland “conspired to frame Simon for the murders.”
