A DOJ proposed rule would make it easier for states to fast-track death penalty cases while weakening oversight, reducing transparency, and increasing the risk that wrongful convictions go uncorrected.

A new DOJ proposed rule would weaken oversight in death penalty cases, eliminate public transparency, and make it easier to carry out wrongful executions.
At a time when systemic failures continue to plague capital punishment, speeding up executions is dangerous and unjust.

Prosecuting a federal agent requires a different set of steps than the public would normally see in other cases the Hennepin County Attorney's Office is prosecuting.

New reporting highlights a growing effort to undermine locally elected prosecutors through state intervention, political retaliation & structural power shifts. Attempts to override the will of voters undermine trust in both democracy & the justice system. themarshallproject.org/2026/…

1/ FJP applauds today’s United States Supreme Court decision in Pitchford v. Cain, a case involving allegations that prosecutors improperly excluded Black jurors from the death penalty trial of Terry Pitchford, a Black defendant.

2/ The Court concluded that Mr. Pitchford was denied the opportunity to scrutinize the prosecutor’s actions and reaffirmed the importance of following the constitutional process for evaluating claims of racial discrimination in jury selection.

3/ Prosecutors have a legal and ethical duty to ensure jury selection is fair and free from racial bias. When courts fail to scrutinize discriminatory strikes against Black jurors, it undermines fair trials and weakens public trust in the justice system.

Federal agents cannot be used to intimidate voters or interfere with the constitutional right to vote. Prosecutors across the country are making clear that protecting safe, free, and fair access to the ballot is essential to democracy.

Incarceration has a wide-reaching and long-lasting effect on families.
People with incarcerated immediate family members are less likely to report good physical and mental health and less likely to rate as “thriving” in terms of overall well-being.

1/ FJP strongly opposes Georgia House Bill 369, signed into law this week, which creates a separate set of election rules for prosecutors and local officials in only five Metro Atlanta counties. This law raises serious constitutional concerns.

2/ Georgia’s Constitution limits the use of narrowly tailored classifications to target specific communities. Yet HB 369 ties these election changes to whether a county eliminated its coroner’s office, despite no clear connection between the two.

3/ The law’s impact also warrants serious public scrutiny. The only district attorneys affected are Black women serving some of Georgia’s largest and most diverse communities, while other offices, including sheriffs, are exempted. Read our full statement: fairandjustprosecution.org/p…
