"content": "\u003cp>Inspired by the national Black Lives Matter movement, public defenders throughout the Bay Area have formed a new organization with the goal of bringing issues of racial inequality to the forefront in their own workplace -- the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi spearheaded the grass-roots organization, known as Public Defenders for Racial Justice. More than 100 public defenders, representing Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin and other Bay Area counties, turned out for the group’s first official gathering June 27 at UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The daylong event featured a series of presentations and workshops on implementing strategies for criminal justice reform. Alicia Garza, a co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement and special projects director at the National Domestic Workers Alliance, was among the speakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s this whole national debate going on across the country: Is America suffering from racism?” Adachi said in an interview with KQED. “Part of what we need to do as public defenders is to get people talking about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A key theme of the conference was how to address implicit bias -– the unconscious tendency to treat people differently based on race. Researchers and civil rights advocates are increasingly highlighting this concept as a problem that can lead to unfair outcomes in the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have it, everyone has it,” Adachi said. “Part of becoming better human beings is recognizing that bias.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adachi said his own office had instituted implicit bias trainings to help attorneys recognize their own preconceived notions when representing clients. He said he’d like to see the San Francisco Police Department implement similar trainings for its officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a test, called \u003ca href=\"https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/iatdetails.html\">the Implicit Association Test\u003c/a>, where they can actually measure human bias,” Adachi explained. “They have you look at images that flash on the screen very quickly, and you use your computer keyboard to make certain choices: Good, bad, positive or negative. And what it shows is that most people are going to make judgment calls against African-Americans and in favor of white Americans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joining Adachi at the Public Defenders for Racial Justice conference was Alameda County Public Defender Brendon Woods, who said he was motivated by personal experience to practice law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have family members that have been incarcerated and gone through the system, uncles in prison, cousins have been in the system,” Woods explained. “I just knew that if I was going to get through high school, college, law school, I was going to be a public defender. I wanted to be able to advocate for people who’ve not had anyone there to advocate for them before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Woods said a nationwide movement drawing attention to racial inequality in the wake of high-profile shootings of unarmed African-American men has set the stage for public defenders to bring these issues to the attention of attorneys and judges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The numbers in his own backyard illustrate the problem, Woods added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For example, Alameda County is 12 percent African-American. We have Santa Rita jail -- it’s the third-largest jail in California, the fifth largest jail in the nation. It holds about 4,000 people -- and it’s 54 percent African-American,” he said. “If you just look at the sheer numbers, you see the inequality. Just the sheer numbers of black and brown faces that are incarcerated and prosecuted. It’s astonishing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/213027712\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public defenders have been particularly focused on judges' decisions on pretrial detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People’s initial custody status … impacts every single decision they make from that point forward,” Jane Brown, assistant public defender of Alameda County, said in an interview on the day of the conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So even if they are not guilty of a crime, the fact that they’re locked up behind bars and have to await trial -- for possibly two months even -- may make them take a resolution or a deal that they wouldn’t have otherwise,” she explained. “One of the things we can do to remedy that is to educate and advocate on behalf of our clients … to get both the court and the district attorney to understand that this is a racial injustice, just the fact that this person is being kept behind bars awaiting trial.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added that the same issue could also be raised with regard to charging decisions, jury selection and sentencing. “Every single person that walks in the courtroom, from attorneys to deputies to judges to district attorneys, is operating with implicit bias,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet Public Defenders for Racial Justice may face an uphill slog when it comes to persuading other areas of the criminal justice system to take implicit bias seriously -- particularly when it comes to policing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/06/22/report-african-american-adults-seven-times-as-likely-as-whites-to-be-arrested-in-san-francisco\">report released recently by the W. Haywood Burns institute\u003c/a>, commissioned by the San Francisco Reentry Council, revealed wide racial disparities in San Francisco’s criminal justice system. Among other things, the report showed African-Americans were seven times as likely as their white counterparts to face arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet when asked to respond to that report in an interview with KQED, San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr said he believes it “only tells part of the story.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suhr defended his officers’ work, saying, “We’re in the neighborhoods where people are asking us to be, looking for the people that the people are asking us to look for. … So this isn’t like the officers leave the station and just talk to anybody. He added, “Because crime is local to many neighborhoods, a lot of the people describing the criminals are of the same race, gender, sexual orientation as the suspects they are describing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reached by phone, spokesman Albie Esparza noted that the SFPD addresses biased policing in its departmental regulations, and integrates cultural competency instruction into police academy training. But he did not know of any plans to conduct implicit bias training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Bryan Goebel contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

More than 100 public defenders, representing Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin and other Bay Area counties, turned out for the group’s first official gathering June 27 at UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The daylong event featured a series of presentations and workshops on implementing strategies for criminal justice reform. Alicia Garza, a co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement and special projects director at the National Domestic Workers Alliance, was among the speakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s this whole national debate going on across the country: Is America suffering from racism?” Adachi said in an interview with KQED. “Part of what we need to do as public defenders is to get people talking about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A key theme of the conference was how to address implicit bias -– the unconscious tendency to treat people differently based on race. Researchers and civil rights advocates are increasingly highlighting this concept as a problem that can lead to unfair outcomes in the courts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He said he’d like to see the San Francisco Police Department implement similar trainings for its officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a test, called \u003ca href=\"https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/iatdetails.html\">the Implicit Association Test\u003c/a>, where they can actually measure human bias,” Adachi explained. “They have you look at images that flash on the screen very quickly, and you use your computer keyboard to make certain choices: Good, bad, positive or negative. And what it shows is that most people are going to make judgment calls against African-Americans and in favor of white Americans.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joining Adachi at the Public Defenders for Racial Justice conference was Alameda County Public Defender Brendon Woods, who said he was motivated by personal experience to practice law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have family members that have been incarcerated and gone through the system, uncles in prison, cousins have been in the system,” Woods explained. “I just knew that if I was going to get through high school, college, law school, I was going to be a public defender. I wanted to be able to advocate for people who’ve not had anyone there to advocate for them before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Woods said a nationwide movement drawing attention to racial inequality in the wake of high-profile shootings of unarmed African-American men has set the stage for public defenders to bring these issues to the attention of attorneys and judges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The numbers in his own backyard illustrate the problem, Woods added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For example, Alameda County is 12 percent African-American. We have Santa Rita jail -- it’s the third-largest jail in California, the fifth largest jail in the nation. It holds about 4,000 people -- and it’s 54 percent African-American,” he said. “If you just look at the sheer numbers, you see the inequality. Just the sheer numbers of black and brown faces that are incarcerated and prosecuted. It’s astonishing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='undefined' height='undefined'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/213027712&visual=true&undefined'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/213027712'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The public defenders have been particularly focused on judges' decisions on pretrial detention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People’s initial custody status … impacts every single decision they make from that point forward,” Jane Brown, assistant public defender of Alameda County, said in an interview on the day of the conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So even if they are not guilty of a crime, the fact that they’re locked up behind bars and have to await trial -- for possibly two months even -- may make them take a resolution or a deal that they wouldn’t have otherwise,” she explained. “One of the things we can do to remedy that is to educate and advocate on behalf of our clients … to get both the court and the district attorney to understand that this is a racial injustice, just the fact that this person is being kept behind bars awaiting trial.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added that the same issue could also be raised with regard to charging decisions, jury selection and sentencing. “Every single person that walks in the courtroom, from attorneys to deputies to judges to district attorneys, is operating with implicit bias,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet Public Defenders for Racial Justice may face an uphill slog when it comes to persuading other areas of the criminal justice system to take implicit bias seriously -- particularly when it comes to policing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/06/22/report-african-american-adults-seven-times-as-likely-as-whites-to-be-arrested-in-san-francisco\">report released recently by the W. Haywood Burns institute\u003c/a>, commissioned by the San Francisco Reentry Council, revealed wide racial disparities in San Francisco’s criminal justice system. Among other things, the report showed African-Americans were seven times as likely as their white counterparts to face arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet when asked to respond to that report in an interview with KQED, San Francisco Police Chief Greg Suhr said he believes it “only tells part of the story.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Suhr defended his officers’ work, saying, “We’re in the neighborhoods where people are asking us to be, looking for the people that the people are asking us to look for. … So this isn’t like the officers leave the station and just talk to anybody. He added, “Because crime is local to many neighborhoods, a lot of the people describing the criminals are of the same race, gender, sexual orientation as the suspects they are describing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reached by phone, spokesman Albie Esparza noted that the SFPD addresses biased policing in its departmental regulations, and integrates cultural competency instruction into police academy training. But he did not know of any plans to conduct implicit bias training.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Bryan Goebel contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg joined Breyer's opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I believe it highly likely that the death penalty violates the Eighth Amendment,\" Breyer said, drawing on cases he has reviewed in more than 20 years on the Supreme Court bench.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 100 death row inmates have been exonerated, showing that the death penalty is unreliable, Breyer said. He said it also is imposed arbitrarily, takes far too long to carry out and has been abandoned by most of the country. Last year, just seven states carried out executions, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two senior liberal justices joined retired Justice John Paul Stevens, who was in the courtroom Monday, and Justice Harry Blackmun in late-career pronouncements calling into question the use of the death penalty, although Breyer and Ginsburg stopped short of declaring their outright opposition to capital punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1972, the Supreme Court struck down every state's death penalty laws. Some justices believed at the time that this decision effectively would end capital punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, many states wrote new laws, and four years later the court reinstated the death penalty, a decision in which Stevens joined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an extremely unusual turn Monday, four justices read their opinions from the bench in the lethal execution case. Justice Antonin Scalia, part of the court's majority, read a brief reply to Breyer. \"Welcome to Groundhog Day,\" Scalia said, noting that the court has repeatedly upheld the use of capital punishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scalia used Breyer's own words to complain that the liberal justices were willing to discard long-settled principles in a term in which the left side of the court won most of the closely contested cases, though not the lethal injection dispute. \"It is not often in the law that so few have so quickly changed so much,\" Scalia said. Breyer employed those exact words several years ago at the end of a term in which the conservative justices frequently prevailed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oklahoma case has been especially contentious from the start. The Supreme Court became involved in January with an unusually public disagreement among the justices over executions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, the court refused to block Oklahoma inmate Charles Warner's execution despite the objections of the four liberal justices. In a strongly worded dissent for the four, Sotomayor said, \"The questions before us are especially important now, given states' increasing reliance on new and scientifically untested methods of execution.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eight days later, the justices agreed to hear the case of three other Oklahoma death row prisoners. It takes just four votes among the nine justices to agree to hear a case, but five votes to place a hold on an execution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the case was argued in late April, the justices engaged in combative exchanges and impassioned debate about capital punishment more generally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the conservatives, Alito said death penalty opponents are waging a \"guerrilla war\" against executions by working to limit the supply of more effective drugs. On the other side, liberal Justice Elena Kagan contended that the way states carry out most executions amounts to having prisoners \"burned alive from the inside.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, the court upheld Kentucky's use of a three-drug execution method that employed a barbiturate as the first drug, intended to render an inmate unconscious. But because of problems obtaining drugs, no state uses the precise combination at issue in that case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four states have used midazolam in executions: Arizona, Florida, Ohio and Oklahoma. Also, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Virginia allow for midazolam but have not used it in executions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last April's execution of Clayton Lockett was the first time Oklahoma used midazolam. Lockett writhed on a gurney, moaned and clenched his teeth for several minutes before prison officials tried to halt the process. Lockett died after 43 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Executions in Arizona and Ohio that used midazolam also went on longer than expected as inmates gasped and made other noises before dying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the court challenge has prompted Oklahoma to approve nitrogen gas as an alternative death penalty method if lethal injections aren't possible, either because of a court ruling or a drug shortage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to Monday's decision, Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin said she expects state courts to set new execution dates for the three inmates. Oklahoma Department of Corrections spokeswoman Terri Watkins said the state has the necessary drugs for carrying out the executions.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It takes just four votes among the nine justices to agree to hear a case, but five votes to place a hold on an execution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the case was argued in late April, the justices engaged in combative exchanges and impassioned debate about capital punishment more generally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the conservatives, Alito said death penalty opponents are waging a \"guerrilla war\" against executions by working to limit the supply of more effective drugs. On the other side, liberal Justice Elena Kagan contended that the way states carry out most executions amounts to having prisoners \"burned alive from the inside.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, the court upheld Kentucky's use of a three-drug execution method that employed a barbiturate as the first drug, intended to render an inmate unconscious. But because of problems obtaining drugs, no state uses the precise combination at issue in that case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four states have used midazolam in executions: Arizona, Florida, Ohio and Oklahoma. Also, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Virginia allow for midazolam but have not used it in executions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last April's execution of Clayton Lockett was the first time Oklahoma used midazolam. Lockett writhed on a gurney, moaned and clenched his teeth for several minutes before prison officials tried to halt the process. Lockett died after 43 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Executions in Arizona and Ohio that used midazolam also went on longer than expected as inmates gasped and made other noises before dying.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the court challenge has prompted Oklahoma to approve nitrogen gas as an alternative death penalty method if lethal injections aren't possible, either because of a court ruling or a drug shortage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

After a new police transparency law unsealed scores of internal affairs files, our reporters set out to examine these cases and the shadow world of police discipline. On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
