US Supreme Court Upholds Cities' Right to Criminalize Homelessness in Oregon and BeyondPosted Jun 28, 2024 15:18:12 on www.theguardian.com The US Supreme Court has ruled that cities in the western states, including Grants Pass, Oregon, can legally impose fines and jail time on unhoused individuals for sleeping outdoors, even when no shelter is available. This decision comes from a case involving Debra Blake, who faced penalties under Grants Pass's strict policies against camping in public spaces. Advocates for unhoused people, including civil rights organizations, warn this ruling may lead to increased criminalization of homelessness, negatively affecting job access and essential services.

The decision underscores the complex intersection of criminal defense, social welfare, and human rights within Oregon and surrounding areas. Jury convicts man of killing ex-girlfriend
Posted Feb 25, 2014 on www.abc15.com Wade Bradford's defense did not convince the jury as they found him guilty in the shooting death of Natalie Allan. Bradford and Allan had met when Allan worked in one of Bradford's massage parlors. While they were dating, Allan was also dating Kevin Myles, her massage client. During the trial, the prosecutors told the court that Bradford had shot Allan when she broke up with him and she and Myles had gone to Bradford's place to get her things. This was countered by Phoenix defense lawyer Jamie Jackson saying that Bradford did not know that he had shot Allan. According to Jackson, the gun accidentally went off because Myles had suddenly lunged at Bradford. The jury, however, did not buy this. Aside from Allan's death, Bradford is also facing charges for the death of another of his former girlfriend, Eleanor Su. New trial set for 1989 murder of 4y.o. ChristopherPosted Sep 23, 2013 on abcnews.go.com Debra Jean Milke, the mother of Christopher, the four-year-old kid murdered by two men in 1989, will be retried on Sept. 30. A few decades back, Milke was meted the death penalty after she was found guilty of handing her son to two men who killed the boy in the desert. Prosecutors had told the court then that Milke made a confession to Det. Armando Saldate of the Phoenix Police. However, the detective had no recording of the confession. The Federal Appellate court reversed Milke's conviction last March after ruling that the prosecution failed to tell the court of Saldate's several misdemeanours that resulted to dismissed cases. Houston defense lawyer Michael Kimerer, representing Milke, said his client is still overwhelmed that she was allowed to post a bond for her release. The prosecutors, however, said that they will again ask for the death penalty in Milke's retrial. Jury hands man guilty verdict for killing motorist
