The Death of Habeas Corpus Is Killing Innocent People
For 830 years, habeas corpus protected the innocent from unlawful imprisonment—until Georgia destroyed it. The 2004 four-year deadline traps wrongfully convicted people in a prison system that killed 100+ by homicide in 2024. The Great Writ is dead. The innocent are dying with it...
Separate the Gangs or Keep Burying the Dead
The DOJ told Georgia to separate gang members. Georgia refused. Now 100+ die annually. Arizona cut violence 50% with gang segregation.
