Jason Palmer was sentenced to life without parole after a trial that lasted just three days and jury deliberation of only two hours. No DNA evidence. No murder weapon. No direct evidence linking him to the crime. Even more disturbing: the jury included Sgt. Buck Aldridge, the reviewing supervisor on the very case he was judging - a clear conflict of interest that violates Georgia law. How many Jason Palmers are sitting in Georgia prisons right now? https://gps.press/caught-in-the-gears-the-ordeal-of-jason-palmer-and-georgias-ongoing-crisis-of-justice/

Jason Palmer was sentenced to life without parole after a 3-day trial with no DNA, no murder weapon, and just 2 hours of jury deliberation. The jury included the reviewing supervisor on his own case. Now at Telfair State Prison, he reports severe hunger and witnesses inmates carrying homemade weapons with no staff oversight. His daughter grows up without her father because Georgia's system makes mistakes it refuses to correct. #GeorgiaPrisons #PrisonReform #CriminalJustice #GPS #MassIncarceration #Georgia

A recent investigation reveals systemic failures in Georgia's criminal justice system through the case of Jason Palmer, sentenced to life without parole after a three-day trial with no physical evidence. The jury included Sgt. Buck Aldridge, the reviewing supervisor on Palmer's case - a conflict of interest that violates Georgia law yet was permitted to stand. These procedural failures highlight urgent needs for judicial reform and prosecutorial accountability measures that recent legislative victories like HB 176 and Rule 3.8 ethics reforms begin to address. https://gps.press/caught-in-the-gears-the-ordeal-of-jason-palmer-and-georgias-ongoing-crisis-of-justice/
