The wheels of the Court System turn slowly.

Tesla is facing a bench trial in California State Superior Court, scheduled to start today, where the Judge decides if Tesla is liable for violations of California civil rights laws, per a lawsuit filed by the California Civil Rights Department in 2022.

The suit claims black workers at Tesla's Fremont, California plant were subjected to pervasive harassment by other employees, including racial slurs and graffiti, and Tesla is also accused of paying Black workers less than others and depriving them of opportunities for promotions. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-faces-major-trial-alleged-100649614.html #Tesla #Lawsuit #California #Fremont #CaliforniaCivilRightsDepartment #CivilRights #Discrimination #Harassment #SuperiorCourt #Bias #BenchTrial

Oberstes Gericht von #Pennsylvania lehnt Antrag von #Mumia Abu-Jamal auf neues Verfahren ab

"Recht ist Politik mit anderen Mitteln." David Kairys, Juraprofessor an der Temple University

Mumia Abu-Jamals Antrag auf Wiederaufnahme des Verfahrens gegen seine Verurteilung wegen Mordes ersten Grades wurde am 10. September 2024 vom Obersten Gericht von Pennsylvania abgelehnt.

Seine Anwälte Judith Ritter (Professorin für Rechtswissenschaften an der Widener University), Sam Spital (Legal Defense Fund) und Bret Grote (Abolitionist Law Center) werden beim Obersten Gerichtshof von Pennsylvania Berufung einlegen.

Das dreiköpfige Richtergremium des #SuperiorCourt, bestehend aus dem vorsitzenden Richter Jack Panella (Demokrat), Victor Stabile (Republikaner) und dem emeritierten vorsitzenden Richter John Bender (Republikaner), erließ ein 23-seitiges Urteil, in dem es die Weigerung der Richterin am #Philadelphia #CommonPleas, Lucretia Clemon, bestätigte, eine Beweisaufnahme zu gewähren.

Das Gericht bestätigte Clemons' Meinung, dass das Gericht aufgrund von Verfahrenshindernissen nicht befugt sei, die ihm vorliegenden Ansprüche zu prüfen. Bei den beiden Streitfragen handelte es sich um Verstöße gegen die #Verfassung bei der Auswahl der Geschworenen (ein Batson-Anspruch) und um die Unterdrückung von #Beweismitteln zugunsten des #Angeklagten (ein #Brady-Anspruch). Um das Gericht zu zitieren: "Der [unterdrückte] Brief war kein Anklageerhebungsmaterial oder entlastend", und die Vorvernehmungsnotizen "zeigen keine unangemessenen Beweggründe für den Ausschluss von Geschworenen".

I was adding something to my phone's calendar, and saw that it had been a year since I was last called for jury duty. When looking up how often you can be summoned in GA, I discovered a little quirk: the rule is not that you can only be summoned once a year, but rather, that you can be summoned whenever they update the jury pool list, which is once a year. So, you could be called twice in a calendar year. This seems unfair.

From Fulton County: "Jurors are eligible to be summoned for jury duty every time a new juror master list gets uploaded to our jury management system, which is once a year."

For those in the U.S. what are the rules regarding how often you can be summoned in your state? Also, how much/how do you get paid? In Fulton County Superior Court, the rate has not changed since I first served in 1994: $25 per day, in a check mailed to you after you complete your service. (I think State Court is even less.) Your employer is required to continue your regular pay during this time, but only if you are salaried (and they can legally deduct your jury pay from your salary). The unsalaried or unemployed are SOL.

The first time I served, I couldn't afford to buy lunch. It was humiliating.

"A superior court judge Tuesday issued a preliminary injunction against Los Angeles County’s practice of requiring cash bail from jailed people who have yet to be arraigned, dealing a major blow to a system long criticized as favoring the wealthy and doing little to make the public safer."
