The all-white judges of Louisiana’s 5th Circuit Court of Appeal systematically ignored thousands of claims from prisoners, most of them Black, who said they had been wrongly convicted. Efforts to expose the decadelong injustice went unheard.

  • Unfortunately, I am not surprised. I feel / felt like for a long time now that gov don't care about it's citizens (especially if they're a minority). Especially once You're poor or homeless the gov really don't care; but only to lock You up. Once You're locked up then it's like You never existed to begin with.

    We need full democracy ASAP. This flawed democracy we have is getting worse n' worse by the day 😭😔
