#Quebec’s #CourtOfAppeal has upheld a landmark 2022 decision that found a law permitting random traffic stops by police led to #RacialProfiling.

The province’s high court agreed with a #SuperiorCourt ruling that declared inoperative an article of the province’s #HighwaySafetyCode that allows #police to randomly stop drivers without a reasonable suspicion that an offence has been committed.

Oberstes Gericht von #Pennsylvania lehnt Antrag von #Mumia Abu-Jamal auf neues Verfahren ab

"Recht ist Politik mit anderen Mitteln." David Kairys, Juraprofessor an der Temple University

Mumia Abu-Jamals Antrag auf Wiederaufnahme des Verfahrens gegen seine Verurteilung wegen Mordes ersten Grades wurde am 10. September 2024 vom Obersten Gericht von Pennsylvania abgelehnt.

Seine Anwälte Judith Ritter (Professorin für Rechtswissenschaften an der Widener University), Sam Spital (Legal Defense Fund) und Bret Grote (Abolitionist Law Center) werden beim Obersten Gerichtshof von Pennsylvania Berufung einlegen.

Das dreiköpfige Richtergremium des #SuperiorCourt, bestehend aus dem vorsitzenden Richter Jack Panella (Demokrat), Victor Stabile (Republikaner) und dem emeritierten vorsitzenden Richter John Bender (Republikaner), erließ ein 23-seitiges Urteil, in dem es die Weigerung der Richterin am #Philadelphia #CommonPleas, Lucretia Clemon, bestätigte, eine Beweisaufnahme zu gewähren.

Das Gericht bestätigte Clemons' Meinung, dass das Gericht aufgrund von Verfahrenshindernissen nicht befugt sei, die ihm vorliegenden Ansprüche zu prüfen. Bei den beiden Streitfragen handelte es sich um Verstöße gegen die #Verfassung bei der Auswahl der Geschworenen (ein Batson-Anspruch) und um die Unterdrückung von #Beweismitteln zugunsten des #Angeklagten (ein #Brady-Anspruch). Um das Gericht zu zitieren: "Der [unterdrückte] Brief war kein Anklageerhebungsmaterial oder entlastend", und die Vorvernehmungsnotizen "zeigen keine unangemessenen Beweggründe für den Ausschluss von Geschworenen".

www.publicnewsservice.orgAZ judge blocks polling place rules, election official predicts chaosAs worries of election interference and intimidation grow in Arizona, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes says election officials have been preparing to ensure they're ready in November. But just last week, an Arizona judge rejected Fontes' request to delay a court order which blocks certain rules from the state's Elections Procedures Manual - outlining what people can do in and around polling places. Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Jennifer Ryan-Touhill says some of the provisions, which limit things like what people can wear and do, infringe on First Amendment rights. ...

I was adding something to my phone's calendar, and saw that it had been a year since I was last called for jury duty. When looking up how often you can be summoned in GA, I discovered a little quirk: the rule is not that you can only be summoned once a year, but rather, that you can be summoned whenever they update the jury pool list, which is once a year. So, you could be called twice in a calendar year. This seems unfair.

From Fulton County: "Jurors are eligible to be summoned for jury duty every time a new juror master list gets uploaded to our jury management system, which is once a year."

For those in the U.S. what are the rules regarding how often you can be summoned in your state? Also, how much/how do you get paid? In Fulton County Superior Court, the rate has not changed since I first served in 1994: $25 per day, in a check mailed to you after you complete your service. (I think State Court is even less.) Your employer is required to continue your regular pay during this time, but only if you are salaried (and they can legally deduct your jury pay from your salary). The unsalaried or unemployed are SOL.

The first time I served, I couldn't afford to buy lunch. It was humiliating.

An excerpt:

A #Quebec #SuperiorCourt judge is being asked to authorize a class-action lawsuit on behalf of all residents of public long-term care homes that experienced #COVID19 outbreaks during the #pandemic's first two waves.

#Montreal lawyer #PatrickMartinMénard said today in court that Quebec's early response to COVID-19 in long-term care homes was marked by improvisation and that a pre-existing pandemic plan was ignored until it was too late.
