http://peru21.pe/opinion/juan-claudio-lechin-venezuela-inmortal-2287881 El primer párrafo de este artículo refleja la situación del Perú actual, veamos que dice Juan Claudio Lechin sobre Venezuela, antes me pregunto por qué este escritor, ensayista, articulista y no sé qué más, boliviano, no  escribe sobre su País natal. Leamos  juntos el párrafo en comentario: “En las películas de cowboys, los malos se apoderan del pueblo y liberan sus perversiones —matar y asaltar por diversión—. Luego nos enteramos de que este recurso acompaña la existencia de un negocio sucio. En el giro adicional, el verdadero jefe es alguien más malo y más ruin que actúa desde las sombras. El público acepta esta estructura y se deja llevar por la trama.” Primero,  Raúl Castro es tan visible al Mundo como Donald Trump, ambos sometidos…

5th Circuit adds injury to insult for innocent victims of police coercion

When the Texas Legislature "enhanced" penalties for already-enhanced offenses of assaulting a peace officer, Grits warned that the change in the law would increase pressure on innocent defendants to plead guilty to false charges, as happened to Carlos Flores in San Antonio.Now, another example arises out of Brownsville where a defendant, George Alvarez, pled guilty to false charges of assaulting a jailer to avoid the risk of a much longer sentence at trial. Later, it was discovered that the jailer assaulted Mr. Alvarez, not the other way around. Nobody from the government disclosed evidence to the defense of the jailer's misconduct, so he accepted a plea bargain which, following an unsuccessful probation stint, resulted in an 8-year prison sentence. When the evidence was later revealed, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals declared him "actually innocent."Mr. Alvarez sued upon his exoneration and a federal jury awarded him $2 million. But a 3-judge panel…

July 4 message – An attack on the media is an attack on all of us

This week, my friend, Brian Karem, editor of the Montgomery Sentinel and writer for Playboy, after months of abuse of the media by Trump, finally fought back. Calling out the President’s lies are not “fake news.”  The press is not the “enemy of the people.” President Trump, by calling the news media “the enemy of the people” and calling facts “fake news” is attacking all of us. Thursday and Friday he attacked Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski.  Today he released a wrestling video, showing him punching and wrestling a person with a CNN logo on his head.  He calls CNN FNN – fake national news. There is a reason that freedom of the press is enshrined in the First Amendment. The Founders set up an elaborate system of checks and balances that is being tested as never before, at least during our lifetimes.  With a Congress unwilling to restrain the executive, willing to steal Supreme Court…

Prosecutorial Misconduct: Prosecutors Continue to Cheat

On June 26, 2017, the Boston Globe carried a report about a Springfield, Massachusetts judge who vacated several drug convictions because of misconduct by two former state prosecutors involved in the drug cases.   Judge Richard J. Carey of Hampden County Superior Court found that the two prosecutors in 2014“tampered with the fair administration of justice” by misrepresenting issues to the court and concealing evidence beneficial to the defense.   Stories of prosecutorial misconduct continue to attract national media attention, with each story undermining the nation’s criminal justice system.   But when does legitimate prosecutorial conduct crosses the line to become misconduct?   Prosecutorial Misconduct   The Center for Prosecutor Integrity (“Center”) defines prosecutorial misconduct as any conduct, intentional or inadvertent, during the course of a prosecution that:   Violates the applicable code of professional…

Juan Mendoza escribió ayer en Peru21 ¿qué raro no? Sobre los mismos temas y considera que obras faraónicas NO es lo que necesita el Perú y pone un ejemplo (la Refinería de Talara) con cifras que es necesario se aclaren por el gobierno o el señor Alfredo Torres.

Somos un País religioso y la religión NO es mala, tampoco mensajera de conductas hipócritas, ni de liviandades, es el ser humano quien ha prostituido el concepto, lo ha escarnecido y lo sigue haciendo para derribar ese muro que aun hoy regla la conducta de miles de millones de seres humanos.

And when asked to speak, the woman stood up and said this:'Under the skies, yes, with all its despair, all its grief, and all its sadness.The clouds with all their darkness, all their hurt, and all their pain.Moreover, the sun with all its discontent, all its gore, and all its grim.When the last moment comes, within that moment, you will beg....and beg, and beg....Please let me have one last walk down the path of my youth under the wonder of it all.That is the glory of this world.'Then the woman sat down and remained silent.She lowered her head.And forever remained silent.Her point having been made.

Un doctor de 76 años en Pinellas Park ha sido sentenciado a 25 años de prisión por la muerte de tres pacientes a los que prescribió medicamentos contra el dolor en su clínica. Un juez federal en Tampa llamó al hombre ´traficante´, al sentenciarlo el lunes y dijo que tendrá ´el resto de su vida para meditar sobre ello´. Los reportes indican que el hombre no sabía que estaba quebrantando la ley y le pidió al juez que mostrara compasión por su esposa de 66 años que está programada para su sentencia el martes. Ella manejaba la oficina de su esposo. La pareja fue condenada durante un juicio de 17 días con múltiples cargos por asociación ilícita financiera y de drogas. El hombre fue encontrado culpable de tres muertes. En un intento por tomar medidas estrictas en la epidémica distribución ilícita de pastillas en Florida, la…

Maryland Drug Overdoses On The Rise

$

Police departments, lawmakers and even the governor have made combatting drug overdoses a major point of emphasis over the last few years. Many law enforcement agencies are training their officers in overdose recognition and equipping them with overdose prevention drugs. Police are now responding to the scene of a possible overdose with the mindset that their first call of duty could be saving a life rather than making an arrest. Lawmakers are tying to do their part as well by creating legislation aimed at punishing drug dealers whose product causes a death, and attempting to protect those who offer aid to overdose victims. The governor has always taken a hardline stance against heroin, highlighted by his recent declaration that opioid use is now in an official state of emergency warranting an additional $50 million in resources. Numerous citizen based community organizations have also joined forces with the government in this battle, but despite their best efforts the overdose…

The Fourth of July holiday is almost here, and many people have extended weekends or have tomorrow off. This mean means a lot of Minnesotans will ring in the holiday with some spirits, especially now that Sunday liquor sales are legal in Minnesota. But if you’re going to have a drink while you’re at the lake or while watching some fireworks, make sure you don’t get behind the wheel, because police are out in full force. 4th of July DUI The fourth of July is one of the deadliest weekends on the road for a number of reasons. Aside from the fact that people have long weekends and may be more likely to indulge in alcohol, the roads are clear of snow and people drive at higher speeds. When you add in construction zones, it’s easy to see how a devastating accident can occur. Police know this, so they have added extra enforcement to look for what they call the “Fatal Four” driving behaviors, which are: Distracted driving Speeding Drunk Driving No…
