An astonishing 80 percent of the Louisiana's death sentences between 1976 and 2015 were later reversed.
A judge recently vacated the conviction of Chris Duncan, who had been on the state's death row for decades.

He’s Been On Louisiana’s Death Row for Decades. A Judge Just Vacated His Conviction.
Chris Duncan’s longtime claims of innocence were boosted by the discrediting of bite mark analysis, and by recent reforms now under threat from the state’s Republican leadership.

Biden commuted their death sentences, so Trump retaliated by making their lives living hell, putting them in the country's most brutal prison, where they "spend 22 to 24 hours a day locked alone inside concrete cells that are smaller than a standard parking space."
Pure, pointless cruelty.

Once you learn the history, you can’t unsee it. But I still love Thanksgiving because some of my best memories are there: kids’ table chaos, music, way too much food, laughter with family. Now I try to hold both things at once. I keep the love and the gratitude, and I refuse to forget the truth.
