The judge ordered the DOJ prosecutors to file a response by Oct. 3 that included “a sworn declaration from a person of suitable authority…that explains to the Court how these violations occurred, despite the Court’s April 25 Order, and what steps are being taken to ensure that no future violations occur.”
The order further required the prosecutors “to advise the Deputy Attorney General, for dissemination within the Department as appropriate, that future violations may result in sanctions, which could include personal financial penalties, contempt of court findings, or relief specific to the prosecution of this matter,” and to include “confirmation that this message has been conveyed to the Deputy Attorney General” in the sworn declaration due Oct. 3.
Garnett concluded by stating that she “will consider” the statements by DOJ employees cited in the defense letter as part of the defense’s motion to strike the death penalty, spelling out a potentially very real consequence for a Trump administration that has aggressively agitated for severe consequences for Thompson’s murder.
Trump's first extrajudicial killing coming?
Who am I kidding, it's not the first lol
Wouldn't even be the first this week
Of course that's possible, but I don't think a judge or an appeals court is likely to determine that the first violation of the judge's order takes the death penalty off the table. Judges almost always bend over backwards to protect the state. If they keep talking now, that might result in some kind of mild sanctions that somehow affect reality in some slight way, possibly.
This plus the mishandling of evidence has derailed cases before. The one that comes to mind is Weather Underground. There isn't much doubt that they blew up some monuments and were planning some more. None of them were ever prosecuted because the FBI fucked up.

Really if the state is messing with the jury it should be an automatic mistrial. The reason is so the government learns their lesson and shuts the fuck up and stops trying to influence the jurors. If the judge doesn't do this then of course trump will keep sticking his dick in every legal process that doesn't go his way.
Mansions saved thousands of lives and more for future generations. Those poor people being denied health…
Mansions saved thousands of lives and more for future generations
Nah this thread isn't about the housing crisis
How, is united healtcare bankrupt? Did they change and approve everyone? AFAIK they are just as scummy with a different CEO.
In the wake of the shooting, the immediate aftermath, a lot of people suddenly got the health care they'd been denied. It's true that they didn't change long term, but for a little while, they did.
It is so horrible to know that these people need to be actually afraid or they'll continue to hurt people.
