@laurengill.bsky.social also wrote this tragic article last week exposing the various things that look wrong with the case, and how Boyd was convicted.

The execution is later today. boltsmag.org/anthony-boyd...
He Was Convicted Entirely On Clashing Eyewitness Testimony. Alabama Plans to Execute Him Next Week. - Bolts
No physical evidence connected Anthony Boyd to a 1993 murder. He was sent to death row on the word of a co-defendant who testified under the threat of capital punishment.

SPOG's main concession: Allowing CARE to expand and (supposedly) handle more calls on its own.

However, SPOG has done nothing but undermine CARE so far. Despite past concessions on civilianization (flaggers, traffic cam review), cops mostly remain in those roles

There are countless cases where officers have been accused credibly of committing actual crimes (theft, DV, etc.) but findings have not been sustained because the OPA can’t meet the elevated standard.

It would be surprising (almost outside of the realm of plausibility) for SPOG to give this up.

It’s the main tool by which SPOG protects officers who have been accused of criminal behavior or dishonesty.

Also, not too sure about these “sources,” but they can’t be too “familiar with the contract”

The existing contract only imposes an “elevated standard of review” on termination cases that are “stigmatizing.”

In practice, the standard is “clear and convincing” not “beyond a reasonable doubt”

It's a basic requirement that the captain of the East Precinct must be...a captain. Raguso was an acting captain (with the permanent rank of lieutenant) until the results of the captain's exam were released in August. He failed. Badly.

More receipts showing a pattern going back to 2021.

Well, now that Erica Barnett has blocked us, we might as well point out that Publicola completely cannibalized a story we broke without crediting us—something she’s always loudly chastising other outlets for.

This is also inaccurate. Erica should've read through our posts more thoroughly when she was raiding them.

Tietjen was supposedly transferred for this incident, but he had been at the North Precinct since Nov 2020 and remained after the case closed. He was promoted a few months later.

She also used this incident ripped straight off our Twitter feed and then linked to the OPA report that she also lazily obtained from our Twitter feed.
