"content": "\u003cp>The presiding judge for Alameda County courts said he would consider a request to compel court clerks to keep accurate records of cases -- the latest development in what's been widely described as a disastrous implementation of an electronic filing system called Odyssey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since its early August rollout, the system's clunky interface and seemingly random glitches have resulted in an unknown number of errors, according to Alameda County Public Defender Brendon Woods, who filed identical \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/11/17/alameda-county-public-defender-courts-new-e-filing-system-causing-false-arrests-extending-custody/\" target=\"_blank\">motions in over 2,000 cases\u003c/a> involving his office since November, each calling on the court to fix the problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s such a wide-scale problem that it’s impossible for us to capture all of the mistakes,\" Woods said in court Tuesday. \"It comes down to the system: Odyssey does not work for our county. It does not work for our court where we have such a high volume of criminal cases.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'It seems like every time we turn around there’s a new problem popping up.'\u003ccite>Charles Denton,\u003cbr>\nAlameda County assistant public defender\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Woods' office has also cataloged 51 cases in which defendants were arrested on warrants that had been recalled, kept in jail beyond their release date, kept on probation after it should have been terminated, required to register as sex offenders when that was not a condition of their case, or had misdemeanors erroneously recorded as felony convictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is just a snapshot of the type of error and harm that’s been occurring,\" Woods said. \"It’s the tip of the iceberg.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a recent example, a defendant facing revocation of his parole appeared in court on Jan. 17 and a bench warrant seeking his arrest was recalled. But that change didn't make it into the e-filing system. He was arrested two days later and spent almost a week in jail before the error was caught and corrected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Presiding Judge Morris Jacobson said the court has \"certainly been trying\" to address the issues and asked if there had been any improvement since August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have seen some improvements,\" Assistant Public Defender Charles Denton replied. \"Where I’ve seen the improvements is in the human effort. It seems to me that your staff is working incredibly hard, at a pace that I’m not sure they can maintain.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even as court clerks implement a fix, such as a paper workaround to ensure judge's release orders make it to sheriff's deputies or a software fix that appears to have ended erroneous sex offender registrations, another issue pops up, Denton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'The sad thing is we purchased the Odyssey system with the view toward becoming more efficient and needing less staff. This has had the opposite effect, and it's very difficult.'\u003ccite>Morris Jacobson,\u003cbr>\nPresiding judge, Alameda County Superior Court\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"It seems like every time we turn around there’s a new problem popping up.\" he said, citing a recently discovered glitch that's erroneously assigning cases to the wrong judges. \"There’s a finite amount of effort that you can ask your staff to do. I think they’re working well over 100 percent. I don’t think that’s sustainable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacobson said he would consider a proposed order from the public defender, which is scheduled to be filed in early February. Woods said it would likely reflect his motion calling for \"an accurate and contemporaneous record of court proceedings.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's unclear how the court will get there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s more than symbolic, so [the presiding judge] will make efforts to make sure the court order is followed through with,\" Woods said. \"With regard to how he does it, that’s going to be up to him. He’ll figure that out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One option could be to compel Odyssey's vendor, Tyler Technologies, to dedicate resources to fixing Alameda County's issues, Woods said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Tyler has some sort of responsibility in this mess,\" he said. \"The courts purchased a system -- they were told it could do one thing and clearly it can’t.\"\u003cbr>\n[contextly_sidebar id=\"b94mRmkXlaurlAPFhaEIo1SE2eADthBU\"]\u003cbr>\nWoods isn't alone in that sentiment. Three plaintiffs allege in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3439700-Complaint-Brown-Et-Al-v-Oldham-Et-Al.html\" target=\"_blank\">proposed federal class-action lawsuit\u003c/a> in Tennessee that arrestees in Shelby County are being systemically deprived of their constitutional\u003cbr>\nrights since Odyssey's implementation in October 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit filed on Jan. 9 also names the county and officials there as defendants, alleging they \"ignored these dire warnings by recklessly choosing to implement the Odyssey system ... causing inmates to linger for days and weeks in the Jail in direct violation of their constitutional rights.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could also be true in Alameda County, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3439701-ODYSSEY-DECLARATION-WELLENKAMP.html\" target=\"_blank\">declaration\u003c/a> from the clerk's office division director of criminal operations, filed with the court on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Director Tracy Wellenkamp declared that she was part of a team working to implement the Odyssey system in 2015 and 2016, and at one point asked a specialist from the company to demonstrate how clerks could update cases in real time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I played a training video of a judge imposing terms and conditions of probation,\" her declaration says. \"The Tyler Implementation Specialist was unable to capture any of the minute order entries or otherwise demonstrate that the system could be updated in real-time in a courtroom setting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the company said that Tyler Technologies has implemented case management software in jurisdictions throughout the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Odyssey system in Alameda is the same software being used successfully across the country, including 23 California counties and large, complex implementations,\" the spokesman said in a written statement. \"We aren’t aware of any software issues in Alameda County that would result in the issues reported in the press, and Tyler is prepared to work with the Alameda Court to analyze the situation and support them as needed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company declined to specify where its system was being used in courts' criminal sections, which are often busier than civil courts. Errors in criminal courts are also more serious, as they can result in unwarranted jail time, false arrests and other constitutional violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company disputes the allegations in the Tennessee lawsuit, though, and again mentioned press coverage as the force behind the criticism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Although we do not comment on pending litigation, Tyler cannot ignore the similarities between the allegations in the lawsuit and the misinformation circulated by local media in the weeks before the lawsuit was filed,\" the company spokesman wrote. \"Tyler is confident that the claim against it is meritless, and we look forward to presenting a vigorous defense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County officials from the district attorney's office and public defender's office agree that the short-term fix for Odyssey will have to include more resources for court clerks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The sad thing is we purchased the Odyssey system with the view toward becoming more efficient and needing less staff,\" Presiding Judge Jacobson said from the bench. \"This has had the opposite effect, and it's very difficult.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

It does not work for our court where we have such a high volume of criminal cases.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'It seems like every time we turn around there’s a new problem popping up.'\u003ccite>Charles Denton,\u003cbr>\nAlameda County assistant public defender\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Woods' office has also cataloged 51 cases in which defendants were arrested on warrants that had been recalled, kept in jail beyond their release date, kept on probation after it should have been terminated, required to register as sex offenders when that was not a condition of their case, or had misdemeanors erroneously recorded as felony convictions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is just a snapshot of the type of error and harm that’s been occurring,\" Woods said. \"It’s the tip of the iceberg.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But that change didn't make it into the e-filing system. He was arrested two days later and spent almost a week in jail before the error was caught and corrected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Presiding Judge Morris Jacobson said the court has \"certainly been trying\" to address the issues and asked if there had been any improvement since August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I have seen some improvements,\" Assistant Public Defender Charles Denton replied. \"Where I’ve seen the improvements is in the human effort. It seems to me that your staff is working incredibly hard, at a pace that I’m not sure they can maintain.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even as court clerks implement a fix, such as a paper workaround to ensure judge's release orders make it to sheriff's deputies or a software fix that appears to have ended erroneous sex offender registrations, another issue pops up, Denton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'The sad thing is we purchased the Odyssey system with the view toward becoming more efficient and needing less staff. This has had the opposite effect, and it's very difficult.'\u003ccite>Morris Jacobson,\u003cbr>\nPresiding judge, Alameda County Superior Court\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"It seems like every time we turn around there’s a new problem popping up.\" he said, citing a recently discovered glitch that's erroneously assigning cases to the wrong judges. \"There’s a finite amount of effort that you can ask your staff to do. I think they’re working well over 100 percent. I don’t think that’s sustainable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacobson said he would consider a proposed order from the public defender, which is scheduled to be filed in early February. Woods said it would likely reflect his motion calling for \"an accurate and contemporaneous record of court proceedings.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it's unclear how the court will get there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It’s more than symbolic, so [the presiding judge] will make efforts to make sure the court order is followed through with,\" Woods said. \"With regard to how he does it, that’s going to be up to him. He’ll figure that out.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One option could be to compel Odyssey's vendor, Tyler Technologies, to dedicate resources to fixing Alameda County's issues, Woods said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Tyler has some sort of responsibility in this mess,\" he said. \"The courts purchased a system -- they were told it could do one thing and clearly it can’t.\"\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cbr>\nWoods isn't alone in that sentiment. Three plaintiffs allege in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3439700-Complaint-Brown-Et-Al-v-Oldham-Et-Al.html\" target=\"_blank\">proposed federal class-action lawsuit\u003c/a> in Tennessee that arrestees in Shelby County are being systemically deprived of their constitutional\u003cbr>\nrights since Odyssey's implementation in October 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit filed on Jan. 9 also names the county and officials there as defendants, alleging they \"ignored these dire warnings by recklessly choosing to implement the Odyssey system ... causing inmates to linger for days and weeks in the Jail in direct violation of their constitutional rights.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That could also be true in Alameda County, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3439701-ODYSSEY-DECLARATION-WELLENKAMP.html\" target=\"_blank\">declaration\u003c/a> from the clerk's office division director of criminal operations, filed with the court on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Director Tracy Wellenkamp declared that she was part of a team working to implement the Odyssey system in 2015 and 2016, and at one point asked a specialist from the company to demonstrate how clerks could update cases in real time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I played a training video of a judge imposing terms and conditions of probation,\" her declaration says. \"The Tyler Implementation Specialist was unable to capture any of the minute order entries or otherwise demonstrate that the system could be updated in real-time in a courtroom setting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the company said that Tyler Technologies has implemented case management software in jurisdictions throughout the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The Odyssey system in Alameda is the same software being used successfully across the country, including 23 California counties and large, complex implementations,\" the spokesman said in a written statement. \"We aren’t aware of any software issues in Alameda County that would result in the issues reported in the press, and Tyler is prepared to work with the Alameda Court to analyze the situation and support them as needed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company declined to specify where its system was being used in courts' criminal sections, which are often busier than civil courts. Errors in criminal courts are also more serious, as they can result in unwarranted jail time, false arrests and other constitutional violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The company disputes the allegations in the Tennessee lawsuit, though, and again mentioned press coverage as the force behind the criticism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Although we do not comment on pending litigation, Tyler cannot ignore the similarities between the allegations in the lawsuit and the misinformation circulated by local media in the weeks before the lawsuit was filed,\" the company spokesman wrote. \"Tyler is confident that the claim against it is meritless, and we look forward to presenting a vigorous defense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County officials from the district attorney's office and public defender's office agree that the short-term fix for Odyssey will have to include more resources for court clerks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>A man who President Donald Trump has promoted as an authority on voter fraud was registered to vote in multiple states during the 2016 presidential election, the Associated Press has learned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gregg Phillips, whose unsubstantiated claim that the election was marred by 3 million illegal votes was tweeted by the president, was listed on the rolls in Alabama, Texas and Mississippi, according to voting records and election officials in those states. He voted only in Alabama in November, records show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a post earlier this month, Phillips described \"an amazing effort\" by volunteers tied to True the Vote, an organization whose board he sits on, who he said found \"thousands of duplicate records and registrations of dead people.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has made an issue of people who are registered to vote in more than one state, using it as one of the bedrocks of his overall contention that voter fraud is rampant in the U.S. and that voting by 3 million to 5 million immigrants illegally in the country cost him the popular vote in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AP found that Phillips was registered in Alabama and Texas under the name Gregg Allen Phillips, with the identical Social Security number. Mississippi records list him under the name Gregg A. Phillips, and that record includes the final four digits of Phillips' Social Security number, his correct date of birth and a prior address matching one once attached to Gregg Allen Phillips. He has lived in all three states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time of November's presidential election, Phillips' status was \"inactive\" in Mississippi and suspended in Texas.

Tom Price to lead the Department of Health and Human Services and Treasury Secretary-designate Steven Mnuchin. Committee rules require that at least one member of each party be present for a vote to proceed. If and when the committee does vote, their confirmations would still need the approval of the full Senate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a press briefing Tuesday afternoon, White House spokesman Sean Spicer called the Democrats' actions \"outrageous.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"BKYwUOXkjbg3nYCGSibf6JmdU0uD3kSt\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's unfortunate Senate Democrats remain so out of touch with the message that the American people sent this past November,\" Spicer told reporters. \"The people want change; President Trump is delivering that change.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Price has been under a cloud of controversy for weeks over questions about whether he properly disclosed stock trading of a biomedical company, which the congressman was able to purchase with a discount, \u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/rep-tom-price-got-privileged-discounted-offer-on-biomedical-stock-company-says-1485800769\">according to the Wall Street Journal\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for Mnuchin, he faces more questions about his role in the foreclosure crisis as the head of OneWest Bank. As \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2017/01/19/510576713/trump-treasury-nominee-defends-record-of-profiting-off-foreclosure-crisis\">NPR's Yuki Noguchi reported\u003c/a> when Mnuchin testified before the committee earlier this month, he was grilled by Democrats \"for his role as CEO of a company that took over IndyMac Bank, now known as OneWest, which failed because of its bad home loans and later pushed through many controversial foreclosures, ultimately yielding massive profits for Mnuchin.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"s3hmCeXfiF9pIh9auWgffjXkSHMWVIbt\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.dispatch.com/news/20170129/trump-treasury-pick-mnuchin-misled-senate-on-foreclosures-ohio-cases-show\">Columbus Dispatch reported over the weekend\u003c/a> that Mnuchin \"flatly denied in testimony before the Senate Finance Committee that OneWest used 'robo-signing' on mortgage documents. But records show the bank utilized the questionable practice in Ohio.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown said, \"We are not going to this committee today because we want the committee to regroup, get the information, have these two nominees come back in front of the committee, clarify what they lied about — I would hope they would apologize for that — and then give us the information that we all need for our states.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Finance Committee chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, opened the committee meeting by saying he was \"really disappointed\" by the Democrats' decision to boycott. \"These two nominees are going to go through regardless,\" Hatch said. \"Let's not treat people like this. I think some of this is because they just don't like the president.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other Senate committees moved ahead on votes to approve Trump's nominees to lead the departments of Energy, Interior and Education, as well as Attorney General-designate Jeff Sessions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hatch said he couldn't remember Republicans treating nominees from Democratic presidents this way. In response to that and other such assertions from the GOP, many Democrats are raising the fact that Republicans refused to hold hearings last year on President Barack Obama's nominee for the Supreme Court, Merrick Garland. President Trump is set to announce his pick to fill that seat Tuesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats are under increasing pressure from their party's voters to obstruct the Trump administration however they can. At a demonstration led by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer last night in front of the Supreme Court to protest President Trump's executive order on immigration and refugees, some demonstrators said they wanted Democrats in Congress to block every Trump nominee, though they have limited power to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement on the delay, Sen. Ron Wyden, the top Democrat on the Finance Committee, said, \"Until questions are answered, Democrats believe the committee should not move forward with either nomination.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 NPR.

The Raiders have promised $500 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval's office said the lease agreement submitted last week would have the Raiders shoulder $1.15 billion of the cost of the stadium, and accept operation responsibilities and risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A vote is expected during league meetings in March in Phoenix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>AP Sports Writer Josh Dubow in Santa Clara contributed to this report.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
