Mexican drug cartel boss ‘El Mencho’ tracked through romantic partner
While the killing may relieve pressure on the Mexican president from Trump, it will also create a cartel power vacuum. Sheinbaum has previously criticised the discredited "war on drugs" strategy, in which military action often triggers major violence only for new cartel leaders to emerge…
"If no one can, if the CJNG finally splinters, you have four or five different lieutenants with the manpower, the weaponry and the criminal empires to build their own fiefdoms – and that could plunge Mexico into almost record levels of violence," Dalby said…

‘They felt no need to stop the brutality’: Colorado paramedic gets five-year prison term for killing Elijah McClain
On 24 August 2019, McClain, a massage therapist, was walking home from the store listening to music on his headphones when a passing driver called 911 to report a "sketchy" person who "might be a good person or a bad person". The caller noted he did not see any weapons and did not believe anyone was in danger.
Nathan Woodyard, the first officer to stop McClain, was immediately aggressive and grabbed him, saying he was "being suspicious". Two other officers, Randy Roedema and Jason Rosenblatt, soon arrived and tackled McClain to the ground, placing him in a neck hold and putting their body weight on him, causing him to go in and out of consciousness.
McClain, an animal lover who had taught himself violin, apologized, repeatedly said, "I can't breathe" and also said, "I'm an introvert … Why are you attacking me? I don't even kill flies."
Cichuniec ordered ketamine from the ambulance and Cooper injected McClain with 500mg, even though 325mg would have been the appropriate dose for someone of his weight, prosecutors said…

A young woman’s killing in Georgia stokes a familiar rightwing war
Of all Georgia's prisoners, about 9,100 have been imprisoned for killing someone – murder, manslaughter or other homicides. Of the 7,050 murderers, 182 are subject to deportation.
Estimates from the Pew Research Center suggest that Georgia's undocumented population fell between 2011 and 2021 by more than 10%, to about 350,000, or about 3.2% of Georgia's residents. Immigrants – legal and illegal – are less likely to be charged with an act of violence than the native-born US population...

"On this day, Thaer died and Shireen died. Hundreds die every other day," he says. "There will be no justice. Justice is not available for us."

‘It never stops’: killings by US police reach record high in 2022
"These are routine police encounters that escalate to a killing," said Samuel Sinyangwe, a data scientist and policy analyst who founded Mapping Police Violence and provided 2022 data to the Guardian. "The reduction in the conversation around police violence does not mean that this issue is going away. What's clear is that it's continuing to get worse, and that it's deeply systemic."
What's more, in 32% of cases last year, the person was fleeing before they were killed, generally running or driving off – cases in which experts say lethal force is unwarranted and also endangers the public. In June, Ohio police officers fired dozens of rounds at Jayland Walker, who was unarmed and fleeing; a month later, an officer in California exited an unmarked car and immediately fired at Robert Adams as he ran in the opposite direction...

Breonna Updates; Trump's Outrageous Tax Returns (Opening Arguments podcast OA426)
We’re still mad about Breonna Taylor’s killing, and you should be too. A juror has come forward to say that the AG misrepresented the deliberations. We’re like to get the tapes soon, but as of now we don’t have them. We clarify and expand on a few things from our previous Breonna episode. Andrew also does a mini dive on the disproportionate racial breakdown of our prison population.
In our main story, we talk about the blockbuster story by the NYT on Trump’s tax returns. Andrew answers whether the NYT is in any legal trouble for the article, and we go into the horrifying contents of Trump’s returns.
