Some good news for a Friday afternoon! After a Verite News and @ProPublica investigation, a Louisiana district judge has vacated the death sentence of Jimmie Duncan, whose 1998 murder conviction was based on allegedly fabricated bite-mark analysis. Judge Alvin Sharp pointed to new testimony that said such analysis is "no longer valid" and "not scientifically defensible." Duncan, now 56, has spent 27 years on death row. It is unclear yet whether he will walk free. At the second link, find the original reporting on Duncan's conviction.

Since 2017, it’s been a requirement of Texas law that an outside authority investigate all jail deaths. That’s not happening in Tarrant County, where at least 70 people have died in jail custody since the current sheriff, Bill Waybourn, took office eight years ago. Waybourn — a Republican — was elected for a third term in November, but @bolts looks at how conservatives are starting to ask questions after gun rights activist Mason Yancy died in custody last December. “Some lawmakers’ answer to preventable deaths in county jails looks like a cover up: limit independent investigations, limit public information, limit oversight, limit liability,” Krishnaveni Gundu, co-founder and executive director of the Texas Jail Project, told Bolts.

“We’ve worked in autocratic regimes our whole life. Keeping your head down doesn’t work,” says Drew Sullivan, co-founder of @occrp.org, an international nonprofit news outlet and network of investigative journalists. “You have to fight these things when they’re unfair, when they’re illegal, and you have to fight them aggressively."

He talked to Nieman Lab's Hanaa' Tameez about his organization's decision to sue the Trump administration, challenging the legality of Donald Trump's executive order to freeze international aid funding.

Update. "#Harvard University sued the #Trump administration in federal court Monday…The lawsuit…seeks to block the Trump administration from withholding federal funding 'as leverage to gain control of academic decision making at Harvard.' Alan M. Garber, the president of Harvard, said in a message to the university community Monday that the Trump administration’s actions are unlawful and beyond the government’s authority."

PS. Exactly. Every university subject to this kind of unlawful pressure should sue. Same for law firms.
