1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Justine Paul was indicted on flawed evidence. A defense witness wrote that police should have treated no fewer than 12 people as suspects of “higher interest.” A decade after the killing, no one has b...

Blood found on Justine Paul’s clothing helped secure his indictment after his girlfriend was killed.

DNA tests soon concluded that the blood was not the victim’s.

Still, Paul was held in jail for 2,600 days.

Bad Evidence Got Him Indicted for Murder. He Waited 7 Years to Walk Free.
Justine Paul was accused of killing his girlfriend, Eunice Whitman. In Alaska’s slow-motion criminal justice system, he was kept behind bars even as the evidence against him fell apart.
